Heres some of the tiny undeveloped buds





These are all from one plant... I have one more lady thats gonna cook a little while longer...She didn't get the Nute burn as bad as cindy so we're gonna give her a little more time..shes a week younger as well...

CFL's the entire grow... about 450 watts give or take a few...

buckets, air stones/pump, hydroton and rockwool...a few months an whala..Again Thanks Opie and everyone else that helped me better understand hydro...Cant wait till the next grow!!!!!! HID hopefully

Heres a pic of the smaller lady, her name is Jazzy..



Hopefully with all these lights to herself and being flushed she'll fatten up these nugs before its closing time...Shes been in the shadows of the monster for the entire grow..and plus apparently her particular strain is not as big of a yielder as the other..Wish i knew what they were... :weedpoke:

Let me know what you guys think

THanks

Also i keep reading about Rockwool being a nightmare.. Why all the rockwool hate? It seemed to treat us fine..

Nice trees there. You'll be hittin em hard soon they looks pretty good and considering the burn on Cindy she pulled it off decently like a soldier. This Hydro thing is the shizzy. I already got my buds trimmed and cut. I should have taken a
pic of the cola. Very nice and fat. I think its funny how we give our plants names. I need to clean my grow room and get er ready for the next showcase. I' ll try to get some close ups up of the nugs when I get some time.

I think you would really see a difference in your buds if you went HID you should pick you up a 400 watter and mix in the cfls :thumbsup: anyway look forward to the next time round

Peace :rastasmoke:

GodBud thank you for the kind words..HID is a must for the next time round for sure...

How long did you let yours dry before curing? Mine seemed pretty damn crispy at 3 and half days...I just finished the final trimmings on Cindy except a few branches that were a little moist and put them in mason jars..Almost filled up 3..And they are the BIG ones!!! :rastasmoke:

How long for Cure? One week?

I think it was damn near a pound wet and today weighed in at prob a little over 3 oz's...

Think they'll lose a little more weight in the curring process??


Lets see some pics if you can...Happy burning! :jointsmile:

YEah expect a 20 percent or more reduction when dried. I let em hang for bout 7 days then putt em in masons opening the lid every few hours. Gotta watch em close or mold will set in.

Sounds like you rolled sevens on your first hydro grow.

I have heard that if you really want the nugs at their absolute best is to let em cure for about a month then put the torch to em. I am going to try it but of course in the mean time you can be anilelating them pop corn nugs. Save the juicy ones for the long haul to perfectly cure :thumbsup: takes willpower but marvel at them and say to yerself "Fuck I cant believe i used to pay 40 an 1/8 for this shit" whatever it takes and just wait it out and reef the rewards my brutha!


Peace :stoned:

New guys afraid of hydro look here.

Wow. First of all thanks for the kind words. And second, man talk about a first time success. Let this be a lesson to all who think hydro is to hard. Let this also be a lesson for those that scoff at fluorescent lighting. That's pretty good work for HID lighting, and look how fluoro turned out. That one cola is huge.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next harvest.

Thanks guys! Next harvest is here already.. Well at least for our other girl Jazzy..

I'll get some pics of her up soon..She is DEF. a lot higher quality of nug. We've smoked some of Cindy and to be honest i'm not all that impressed..given she hasn't cured completely, we still didn't get that hella stoned feeling that we get from the buds we usually burn..But we get very nice stuff so itd be a lot to ask to beat it on our first grow...

Anyway Jazzy seems to be a lot nicer buds...More dense, more trichs, brighter orange hairs..just all around sexier looking nug..Plus she didn't go through as bad of burn as Cindy..
Shes also getting VIP closet treatment..Cindy was forced to dry with a fan on her because it was so damn hot in the closet cause the lights were still on..I think thats another reason cindy isn't as nice as she could have been..I dried her out too much...3 days of hanging instead of what i hear is normal, 7. Gotta learn from our mistakes i guess..

Jazzy had a hollow stem but Cindy didn't..Anybody elses plants have hollow stems..I thought that was kinda odd..guess just different strain, different characteristics..???

Also i wish i knew if they were indica or sativa or whatever..ive been doin more reading and see that people can tell by hte way they look.. Hows That??? Leaves? THanks in advance!! Ever get anymore pics Godbud?
