Well......... the older girl never really recovered from a Calcium/Magnesium deficiency. She lost almost all her fan leaves so we went ahead and harvested her.

The younger plant (in the photos) seemed ready, as well. The cloudy to clear ratio of the trichomes was about 50/50. It may not show in the pics but almost half of the pistels had changed color. Since we're running up against our deadline, we went ahead and harvested her, too.

I'll post a final weight when they are done drying. Since the tent is the only odor controlled space we have, we're drying the buds in there. It is also easier to control the humidity in the tent.

We'll start our next grow in January or February. Vegging will still be done with CFL's but we'll get either a 250 or 400 watt HPS for flowering. Might even try some "hempy buckets".

We sure learned a WHOLE BUNCH with this grow and really want to say a great big THANK YOU to all of you who provided info on this forum, helped us solve our problems and especially those of you that provided moral support. We couldn't have done it without all of you.
McToker Reviewed by McToker on . McToker's 1st Grow with CFL This is our, the wife and I, first serious attempt at growing. We started out by using some basic info we found on the net. After we had started and found this site, we realized that the info we were using was incomplete, very dated or a bit of both. The first sprout showed up on July 8. This is the one that we call the freak of nature due to the huge leaves. The rest sprouted within 10 days of the first one. All are bagseed donated by an old freind.
