Ooooh...Very pretty! :)
Thanks, I just hope it smokes good
Well, went and watered today. Lookin good! Looks like im gonna have a staged harvest. Got some that are 2 or 3 weeks ahead of others. Ok by me! About 5 weeks into flower on the farthest one. Lookin at about 3 to 5 left, I guess. Def time for the 30x mag soon. Need some solid methods for the dry and cure, if anyone can shoot me a link, or give me a fast rundown. So many different ways, I dont wanna choose poorly, ya know. Thanks yall
harvest when they are just about ready, they finish the few days while they dry. Hang to dry in a warm, dry place with good ventilation, no direct fan on the plants though. Put them into jars or containers when the stems snap when bent.
Thanks... I been hearin a lot about paper bags, cardboard boxes, n shit. Thats what I was plannin on doin, I just didnt wanna mess it all up before the best part of this whole process.... The enjoyment! Seems like just keep it simple, eh. No crazy dry ice n shit.
Get yourself 2 flares, 1 gal of gas, a clothes hanger, and 4 toothpics haha. Just messing around. Its just like shovel said. I do use paperbags in between the hanging and jars. But thats just me. Just pay close attention when you jar them. They will mold if jarred too moist. But on the same note dont over dry them either. I recently bought a Caliber III to help with knowing the humidity in the jars. Takes a lot of guesswork out of it. Just something you might wanna check outQuote:

New pics. Pistils are startin to change. Wont be long now[attachment=o278778][attachment=o278777][attachment=o278779]
I would put some kind of chicken wire around em or something to put the rabbits and mice from finding your tender shoots,they love em!!!want to triple your yield????try using 20 -400 gallon pots or diggin and prepin large planting sites,you will be rewarded greatly,love the outdoor gorillas,keep it up!!!!viva la ganja!!!!:jointsmile:
I would like to do somethin like that, but they havnt passed medical growing laws here yet, and I get lots of air traffic. Im growin about a 1/4 mile into some thick woods on my property, and cant get that much dirt, or other supplies back there. Dirt here is terrible, all sand n clay, so I would need to carry it all back. I started with 26 plants, and that was alot of haulin, with my arthritis ridden body. Lol. This is my first go round, and will def change/improve a few things. Thanks for the input man, keep it commin.
Btw, dont hold back on what you think about the pics/grow. Only way im gonna learn is if I know I did something wrong. Yer not gonna hurt my feelings, so let me have it! Thanks guys
Wow that's funny, your bagseed plant looks exactly like my bagseed plant in the same stages, same conditions (north Carolina) and everything. Funny thing is, I been reading this since the first post trying to obtain information. Just don't forget about the quiet people who want you to keep updating! My harvest is soon, maybe we can compare pics if i ever get a camera. and invest in a wheel barrel.
Yo hemp, thanks for hangin in there with me. I dont care if anyone replies, I will post on, my friend. You def gotta get some pics up so we can compare. Does yers stink like mine? I got like 5 dif bagseed strains goin on. I been pretty happy with mine. Hope yer as excited as me to harvest! Good luck man, and post some of your grow details on here so I can try to learn a few more things. Thanks for watchin, dude!:jointsmile:
Where I live, in Cackalackey, the biggest problem is insects. I've been spraying my plants with a homemade concaution that took the insects away but also the smell. Still can't get over how similar our plants are. (Same bagseed?)Quote:

I havnt really had a bug problem. Been sprayin Home Defense on the ground around the buckets. Could be the same bagseed. Really dense, good bud, only a few seeds from a half. Im really happy with this grow. Only spent about $75. I went with cheap dirt, and MG, and had no probs either. Gonna be choppin the one in the pic in about a week. Rest in at least 2 to 3 weeks. How long till you harvest? Gotta get some pics up. Happy gardening, man!
My harvest is simply a question of "how done they get x how desperate I get". I thought I came up with an awesome plan, and wondered why no one does it. Took all my pictures from germ til buds on my iphone along with all the notes I would say when I post an entire grow log of the event and then I broke my phone. Guess that's why no one does that =/
Well, I gave my oldest girl the chop yesterday. Did a lil kinda quick dry overnite on a nugget, and I gotta say it was a really good smoke. To be honest..... I am blazed! Def chopped at the right time. Really good, mellow high. Im really suprised it turned out so good! I will post a pic of the harvest tomorrow. Cant wait to chop the other 8 in a week or 2!
Btw: In case I havnt said it enough
Thanks to all you guys that helped and to this site. Couldnt have done it without all the advice and help.
:) What are you looking for in your trichs? 50/50? For mine I'm trying to get them as done as possible but with as many thick white trichs as I can get. What kinda of drying/curing processes you going to do? Think I'll water cure a few branches and see how that turns out.Quote:

I dunno bout the Carolina's, but down in southern Alabama its terrible. Just sand and clay.
Hemp: As far as the dry n cure method, i'm just dyring this one in a shoebox with string and hangin em, and puttin it in jars to cure. Gonna try to go at least 2-4 weeks cure.
On this plant I didnt look at trichs. Just went with overall look of the bud, and the amount of hairs that had changed. I think chopped at the perfect time. Perfect balance in the buzz. Im gonna go by the trichs on the other 8, I think. I dunno what ratio im gonna go with. Prob like 70/30. Dont want to much couch lock. Might let one or 2 go a bit longer. Prob another week, no more than 2 on the rest of em. How manydays into flower are you?Quote:

That way you have a mixture of that "head" high and "couch" high. Then you can see which you liked better for future references.
Hell yeah, I am def gonna harvest over the whole spectrum and see how it all goes. Quick dried a bud off my 3 topper I chopped today, and it is fuckin amazing. Cant wait till I get it dried and cured! Put the fitst one I chopped into jars today, so a few weeks I will give it a try. Thanks for the tips, dude!Quote:

Thanks man. I have had really good luck. Got some of it dried, and it is really good. I gotta get some pics up. I got 4 more left to chop, and they should be ready in a few days. I really like having a variety of like 4 different kinds to choose from. And all of it is good. I hope you get a good turnout.
Well, it is official.... I could not resist, and have started to germ seeds for an indoor grow. Nothin special, just some super good bagseed. Doin the grow at a friends place, cuz i didnt wanna do it here(kids) Just gonna do em in a closet with white walls. Gonna start em with cfl's, and add somethin else. Lookin for suggestions on a good, cheap light setup, so lay it on me, if ya dont mind. Using the same earth gro medium i just used on my outdoor run, cuz it seemed to do good. Gonna put em into beer cups, and transplant up from there. Thinkin bout changing up the fert on this one, and goin with something else other than MG. But we will see. I will start a new log when i get em into dirt and get some pics up that are worth posting. Thanks to all you guys that helped on the first go round, and hope you drop in on the new grow when its up n running. Dont wait on the suggestions for an indoor grow till i start the new log. Lay em on me, cuz the seeds are in paper towels germing as i type. Thanks all, much love for everything
Congrats on your first grow completion! Its addicting as hell huh. Looking forward to the new log.Quote:
