California Orange Bud CFL grow

[Italiano715]

Welll.... after 58 days of flowering, the day to chop finally came! I read about a trick about using binoculars backwards to see the trichs since I knew my camera wasn;t cutting it, i found a bunch of amber trichs a couple days ago, so I gave it about another day and a half and chopped em today!

Heres some pics of the final plants

pic 1 - plant #2 - this one I think is the real bread-winner of the bunch
pic 2 - plant #3 - looks a bit sparse because I took a bunch of extra clones from this one
pic 3 - plant #4 - the FIMd one

pic 4 - the plants hanging

I have the plants hanging as a whole at the moment, but when I come back home later I think I'll cut the branches and hang them individually.

plan is to hang them for about a week and then trim and cure with mason jars

looks to be a wonderful looking harvest m8! Kudos to that! Now time to dry, cure, and get BLAZED!! :jointsmile:

Thanks guys

Yeah I found the CFLs worked pretty well, not that i really have a frame of reference yet. My lower buds are definatly nothing to write home about, but I suppose that was expected for the most part... it probably didn;t really help that my plants stretched a bit more than I had anticipated and the box got a little more crowded than I had orignally intended.

All in all though, I'd say it was a pretty successful experiment, I do think the CFLs are probably a little better suited to a SoG or SCroG setup, I;m going to try a SoG on the next round, I have the mother plants vegging right now... the plan for that grow is going to be take cuttings from the mother, once they have rooted I;m going to top them as early as possible, give them a few days to recover from the topping and grow out the new tops slightly, then send them into 12/12.

the idea will be to have alot of really small topped plants - the FIMing was cool on the current grow, but I think the extra shoots from FIMing compared to what topping would have been, was basically just not really worth it, the middle shoots just didn;t grow tall enough and got crowded by the fan leaves off the other shoots so they didn;t get too much light.

I think the mothers for the SoG setup should be ready to start taking cuttings from in a week or two

Hey,
I have just finished reading your grow log the plants look great.
I want to start growing myself and was wondering how much in terms of weight did you get per plant?
