Wow, you might be a little disappointed with some of the yield/problems but just the look of those fat nugs makes my mouth water. Though you probably didn't yield as much as you expected it looks like you have done an amazing job on your first grow. I know some growers who have been growing for years and still seem to nutrient lock their plants or let them die of infestation. This is a mighty fine grow you've got and i hope you keep it up to see what you can do with more time and practice.
First of all growing indoors.....is way harder than growing outdoors...my experience is with outdoor grows....I moved indoors...to get 6 harvests a year...and to stop from being ripped off....I know lots of outdoor grows that got ripped off this year, that being said....I really enjoy indoor growing.:thumbsup:
Man...that...light problem was hard to overcome....It's behind me now...but put me back over a month.
Crop A still continues....still to harvest...2 Afgoo, 6 Purple Berry Kush.
Looks like next weekend and most will be done
Crop B Flowering....1 harvested yesterday...the grand daddy Purple....Still to harvest 4 blue dream, 7 Black Berry Kush. they look like 14 to 21 days till done.
Crop C Flowering.....Kypronite, Purple Dragon, NY Diesel, and 2 Very Nice Grand Daddy Purple's....that are budding nicely. These have about 5 weeks to go.
The most enjoyable part of growing is taking the pictures of those beautiful tricomes...and beautiful colors...then of course using the medication....is best to both at the same time:pimp:
least enjoyable is trimming.....that takes a ton of time....
Next up.....is Crop D......SOG.........I have been making the clones for about a month....It will be interesting....they are vegging right now are about 8" to 10" high....and I will flip them some time this week....I am just not ready...as of yet....as they are in 1 gal containers...and need to be transplanted...I am going to use 3 gal grow bags.
I know this grow was not to the standards of many experts on here...but
I believe it was a pretty good success....
It would be nice to some type of a rating....
I'm looking forward to the SOG grow, Should be interesting to watch. :pimp: :jointsmile:
Harvest of grand Daddy Purple, was completed, dried, and now is curing in jars....pretty small plant...but....3 nice ounces of excellent smelling, and beautiful looking bud....this strain would be perfect for a SOG....I only wish I had 40 clones to try it.....I will tell you it is a very hard strain to clone....I am only having about a 30% success rate cloning then on my machine. Romulan on the other hand I have 99% success rate on the same machine.
Also, harvested 3 more purple berry kush, which are drying....they will yield small like the rest of the small ones...in the 2 to 3 ounce range. this weekend some large plants will be harvested with real good yields, as the bud are nice, big and very dense.
Any pics of the GDP?
My GDP was pretty easy to clone, but picky to grow and hermie prone. I'm working one of the seeds now,.. if it goes herm it dies. I have more. :mad:
Any Updates on the SOG? those girls have got to be getting close to flower! :hippy:
A very nice Purple Berry Kush....some serious dense Colas
I have still not set up my SOG as harvest come first

So far your harvests look decent, way to stick with it! :thumbsup:
Kill them fuckin bugs that I keep seeing in the pics,... and If I'm seeing imaginary bugs,... fuckin kill them too!!!!! (keep swinging till LONG after you think the bugs are dead! )
Your well set up and well on your way to some seriously awesome harvests! :rastasmoke:
Keep em coming!
Update on the SOG grow? :hippy:
I will Harvest the last of the plants that got totally messed up because of the light intruption issue.
Harvest will include:
2 afgoo huge plants....the buds are huge, but not real hard but trichomes are ready
6 Purple berry Kush.....3 are excellent huge colas....3 are pretty airy...I just do not see them getting any better and it's time to move on.
Just my estimate of the 19 plants and based on the weight I have achieved so far after drying and curing..are as follows:
5 Purple Berry Kush which were just very dissapointing all averaged 2 to 3 ounces per plant.
3 Purple Berry kush which were excellent averaged 7 to 10 ounces.
2 Space queen which were dissapointing averaged 2 to 3 ounces per plant.
1 Grand Daddy Purple was very nice...but a small plant that produced 3 ounces per plant.
So lets just do a quick estimate....and get this log over.
GDP(1) = 3 ounces
PBK(3) good ones = 24 ounces ( using 8 ounces)
PBK(5) below average = 12 (using 2.5 ounce avarage)
SQ (2) below average = 4
Estimate of the 8 plants left:
2 Afgoo should be around 6 ounces each = 12
3 PBK Good ones = 24
3 PBK below average = 12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 19 plants = 91 ounces (5.68 pound)
2548 grams divided by 6000 watts is very dismal....:mad::(...only.42 grams per watt).....that is most likely considered a failure.
Hopefully someone will read this complete log and learn from my mistakes.
I did talk to the breeder for the Purple Berry Kush yesterday and talked about the failed plants....he said that in those clones there was an excellent pheno plant and that was probally the 6 good plants I got, but there was some super failure plants and the other clones were most likely those. :) As they had the same problem at other grows.
That made me feel slightly better.....because I thought i thought It was just me....and I sucked big time on those plants.....I kept the three good plants...and they are re-vegging right now for clones.....I know what to expect from those plants.
By the way I have changed my mind on the SOG and location.....I thought it over and it just does not make sense in that location....I am keeping my veg area in tack.....But I have a plan....See my next grow log for the plan.
thanks to everyone for all the help.
starting driving home from work....and thinking.....was I that bad on my grow????????.....then I remembered....wait....I had more than 19 plants under my 6000 watts....so I had to remember how many lights I started with in flower for th 19 plants and it was 3 and half way through I added a 4th for side lighting....so even if we figured 4000 watts my grams per watt was better than I first reported......
I knew I sucked....but I did not think I sucked that bad....now I just confirmed it....still....not too good....but not terriable.
I will have to way better the next grow.
the good news is the smoke is excellent......curing for 14 to 21 days make a huge difference.:hippy:
I wouldn't judge your success by the quantity. Some of the most flavorful strains are very hard to grow and low-yeilding. Look at any pure kush or haze... Sometimes the quality is more important.
Just spent a good hour reading most of your log...great stuff, nug looks great...Ive always been a quality over quantity man myself...or maybe somewhere in the middle -lol...good log though, makes me realize i should update mine more often.
I think the guy above me is right. Quality is better than quantity and those bugs look tasty (as well as the guiness). This is your first indoor crop so I definitely wouldn't get yourself down. You're doing something right if the buds are looking that fat and juicy. I hope that you're happy with your harvest, I wish I could have plants that big in my grow room. I wish I had a grow room... Period haha. Keep up the good work man.Q
I will be driving through Sacto on Friday.
We could meet up....I have some extra meds:)....you interested shoot me an email:thumbsup:
I know your right.....I have come a long way is a short period.....outdoor is easy.....Indoor.....whole different animal.
Without this website I would of easily failed. The FAQ's....grow logs....stickys.... all were very helpful.
My next grow log is going to be a SCROG.....3 x 1000 watts on custom made tables each 4' X 6' with 20 plants on each table. it's all about using the light and maintaining an even canopy.....with like 6 different strains I felt the screen was the only way to go.....I have the plants....Have been cloning for a month now....all are vegging right now.
I know you've seen this pic in my log, My dispensary owner buddys SCROG, he's using 600's but 1000s would work fine, just space em out more.
Those are 5 gallon grow bags under the screen, the screen is 3' wide I believe. 2 rows of plants per table, tables are about 20' long and fit about 30 plants.. You could get away with a 4' wide table under a 1000.
http://boards.cannabis.com/members/c...ering-room.jpg
7 plants per 4x6 screen will get crowded quick but there's no reason it won't work depending on how big the girls are.
Good luck, just tossing my $.02 out there.
all about the same as far a yield...2 to 3 ounces....Sunday I wlll harvest the Afgoo....they are huge...should be a good yield....that will leave 3 original plants which should be ready a few days after that.
Harvest of the blue Dream, Black berry Kush should be next weekend.
The Crop C plants are doing excellent....the smell is amazing....Kypronite Kush and Purple Dragon...have a sweet...pungy....amazing smell....never smelled anything like....yummy....makes my mouth water:rasta:
SCROG is comming they are vegging...I just do not have the benches ready yet.
Still Harvesting....getting ready for the next crop
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...IMG_5100-4.jpg
Black Berry Kush...nearly ready...a few more days....the trichromes will be 70% cloudy 30% amber
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...IMG_5106-1.jpg
Blue Dream....Nearly Ready....just a few more days
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/IMG_5108.jpg
Kyrronite OG Kush....have 8 of these babys....the best smelling Marijuana Plant I have ever smelled....citrus....lemony....with a hint of skunk....Makes my mouth water....These plants are perfect for a SOG....I wish I have 50 of these babys.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/IMG_5109.jpg
Huge Donky Dicks....one of the last Purple Berry Kush plants...a 12 week flower and ready to harvest...should of done it today....no time.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...b/IMG_5107.jpg
Looking good! You've got yourself some trimming to do... :rasta:
Phew, that trimming job is going to be such a body buzz :D Great grow, amazing by your ScrOG/growroom setup.
of the Black Berry Kush.....WOW.....I love this strain...perfect for a SCROG or even a SOG....it a little strechy...but it will work....very hard, tight buds, with some purple...the stalks are smallish and you really have to have stakes to help the plants...the yield is pretty typically some where between 2 and 4 oz per plant....but the trichomes...and the sugar...on the plants is amazing....trimmed most of the night last night and did not have my camera...but I was in awe...of this beautiful medicine....it made me think of a quote from a movie or tv show....Man that will blow your skirt up....for me anyone who appreicates excellent medicine and is male would get a hard on for this stuff.....it's really suprising...as you really cant' really tell how awesome them medicine looks under an HPS light....take it under normal lights and your do not need a 30x loop...you can see this with the naked eye.:stoned:
Well it was flushed properly...I did not try any as of yet...but I can only assume it is just killer.
Got robbed today while making a delivery.
Not sure how it happened...but it did.
I was about to post how all your bud porn was almost giving me a visual contact high ... then I saw this post. :(Quote:

Probably didn't have anything to do with posting, they were watching and already knew, just followed you from a delivery and were waiting for an opportunity.
Never drive straight from your grow to delivery, and or delivery to the grow.
How bad did they hit you?
Great grow my bro:thumbsup:
But feel bad about you getting ripped off as i did too. Only it was my outdoor grow and they got me twice, which it never really got to finish. The thread is here and i had 3 big re veg's, which in the long run saved me as there was to much for them to carry so i gt some. I feel ya man!
Dont give up, just get a security camera and make sure they know you got it. Oh a big ass dog helps too.
But it wasn't for nothing, you learn a lot, just use it on your next go round:jointsmile:
Rep+
:rasta:
the person you sold too was probably in on it. Do you really think it was a coincidence that it happened on a delivery?Quote:

By the sounds of it he got robbed when out and about i dont think they got in his house? Still bad news either way mate :wtf:
I am very carefull about that....but security cameras are going in.
It was a fake co-op....they keep bugging me about product...and my indoor stuff was drying and some was in the trimming stage...so I just took samples...about 1/2 oz of 4 different types of medicine...but my good friend who went with me had several pounds of outdoor...they met us in front...my buddy was driving my pickup...I have verified them an MMJ patients via medicab online...and I asked for ID...as soon as that happened two trucks got us blocked in pulled some guns...took my cell ...the truck keys..and all the medicine...as I was out of the truck...on of them said don't try anything and hits his buldge in his waste band....I said...thats no gun...and shoved him..the black guy was asking by partner for his wallet...and he gave it to him I told to go fu*k him self I was not going to give hime mine..then they just left...it happened several hours from my grow room...I had my cell locked by the cell company...so they could not get any of that info withing 10 minutes of being robbed....and they through the keys out in the main road..and we got them back....BELIEVE ME IT WAS A LONG RIDE HOME.
Talked to the police and they just shrugged...and said it happens all the time.
I have ran that 2 minutes in my head over and over maybe over 100 times...and I can only come up on one other situation where the outcome could of been better that what happened....that would be to never of gone.
They said everything right....almost every detail....
Now I am seriously...re-thinking this whole commitment.....I love growing....I really do.....but....If I have to deal...with people....like that....I give up.
WD - Do not let a bunch of thieving criminals get the best of you! You will learn from this experience and grow from it. Sick people are counting on you for your medicines and that alone is a reason to go on. Don't let a few bad apples in the barrel ruin it for you and your commitment. I thought it was your grow area that was "raped" and I am sort of glad that it was hours away from your place. I am also happy you are safe and they didn't take it to a whole other level if you get my drift.
You know what would be great justice? If they got pulled over with all that medicine in their truck...and had to explain where it came from. Now that would be justice served up! :detective1:

The people who robbed you didnt coincidently "find" you with all of your drugs. Someone told them, someone who you trusted with the information. You know the people who robbed you, or at least you know someone who knows. You got set up man. The rats are near, you just have to get some cheese to flush them out.
now that i think about it dont listen to a word i say.
Once you get robbed/jacked, you make a personal pledge to never let it ever happen again. Stay alert to everything and everyone. When I was younger I didn't use my head and did things that i never wish i could reverse. My experience as a piece of shit thief has humbled me and also taught me many things about that crowd.
keep on keeping on and be a little more paranoid about transactions. I know its legal but your still a drug dealer according to Federal Law. Personally i worry about thiefs more than the DEA. You ARE the source of the most expensive cash crop in America. The "Man" and ruthless criminals are SEARCHING for your ass.
its scary out there.
at least it didn't end badly. Still SUCKS. but it could have been worse. I really don't trust CoOps, I'm currently working with a fella at my real job that is in a CoOp with 3 other growers, they are all growing at his residence. While it's a legal grow, his daughters boyfriend had a beef with him and called the cops saying it was a meth lab.
When the cops raided him, the other guy's in the CoOp walked away from him, only 1 even offered to stand up in court if it gets that far. :mad:
Good luck, stay on your toes and cover your ass!!!!! Like Dru said.

I am going to just do things very different from now on. Smaller amounts...and pre-meetings prior to any deliverys....all paperwork...id...way prior to any meeting with new paitents.
The good news....is....still harvesting....now the blue dream....they are just beautiful.....I know....I know.....I know.....I hated those plants for the longest time.....I just let them Veg way too long and they got huge....now the buds are huge.....:D......All the Purple Berry Kush are harvested....cut the last one a few days ago...drying now.....the last few were just excellent....Color.....very sticky.....beautiful.....
This weekend since my room....has some big room....the SCROG is going in.:jointsmile: plants have been vegging for 25 days still pretty small and in 1 gal containers......they are about 14" tall.

Just shows you cannot trust anyone. Can you mail the paperwork to your patients and have them fill it out before delivery. Then tell them you will call 20min before drop off. This way if something does happen, you will know who set you up that fast. And i would not tell anyone you got ripped, it just makes for more chatter and thats the last thing you need.
Be safe, but as said above, keep pushin bro:thumbsup:
:rasta:
to the MMJ people involved in my grow room. So far all the reports are excellent.....the purple berry kush is a day time medicine...uplifting...and really gets you focused.
The Grand Daddy Purple is a heavy....medicine....almost couch lock....excellent for pain.
The Blue Dream is another excellent medicine for pain.....and uplifting
Can't wait for the Kypronite OG Kush....will be ready in a week.
Got my SCROG going with a custom table.
Got the next batch planted
and started the seeds for my breeding project.
Glad to hear your still at it!
GDP, +1 to beddy by time meds! :stoned: My wife is still smokin off of the summertime grow of GDP, tho she only uses it at night since it will straight root her to the couch! ;)
Do you have any plans on logging your SCROG? IMO that would be awesome to watch! :D
i'd have to agree
It's a ton of work....you think anyone would be interested?
I'm still harvesting right now...just checking trichomes every day....had something real interesting happen this evening....one of the Purple Berry kush has been hanging for over 16 days and it's a huge plant....i did nothing just chopped it and hung it....just did not have the time to trim it, as we were working on the Blue dream's....well anyway...this plant is very sticky the buds will just stick to your fingers...heavy sugar...beautiul gold hairs...and the smell is...what I would call old school.....that danky...skunky....mouth watering.....smell you remember from the weed of your youth....reminds me of the weed where I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains.....it also has a hint of berries....which makes it even more appealing.....I will continue trimming it and then its JAR time....:cool:
