:thumbsup: So it's finally harvest time. Trichs look good, cloudy and some amber. So what I did was I chopped the colas tonight, and the rest of the plant will go tomorrow night. I didn't realize how time consuming and tiring this became lol. I'm a perfectionist as it is so this really took a toll haha, but it was fun. It's my first time :thumbsup:.

So I tried this shock ripening technique but I only left the lights off for two and a half days and I did water with ice cold water. Did anything happen? The buds are sticky icky, and two of them took on purple and lavender shades. beautiful. you have to see it in the right light, I don't think my camera phone was that great, but its what I had on hand. However I did crack a window in the connecting room that had all doors shut except for the growroom and temps outside were in the teens if not single digits at night. So the temps in the room got to between 60-65 during the day and like 50 at night. Could have had an impact but all in all they look great, so I would say to anyone go for it, it can't hurt anything.

In the pictures I couldn't fit all of the colas that were chopped so these are just a few out of about 7 more. From trimming them, there was a ton of resin on the scissors I was using, so with the glove hand, I was able to peel it off, ball it up, and smoke it in a gravity bong. I'm :stoned: thats all I can say. Ladies made me proud, i've successfully completed my first grow. Now to the drying and curing for the finishing touches.:smokin:

Looks awesome man, Any idea of how much ya got? Maybe a wet and dry weight in if possible? Hopefully it was a heavyweight bout. :jointsmile:

Thanks guys, 'preciate the postive feedback. All I can say is it was worth my time and money. I hit a few obstacles along the way, but managed to overcome them. I have to take a break as i'm in the process of moving, but this is only the beginning. .

jtsik, so far i've weighed a few of the colas, and the one thats below the 20 dollar bill weighed in at 36 g's, and a few of the smaller ones at 22-26 g's. Hopefully dry weight will be about half of that but i'm not to sure, we'll know soon enough!

Here's some more, did NOT think there was going to be this much coming off of these plants :lovestruck: lol, but I guess thats what a lot of tlc, research, and a 400w hps will give you with just three plants .

I tried to get a right side view and a left side view the best I could, the shot of trying to get them all in was just too difficult :thumbsup:

I also speed dried some of the last little popcorn nugs I pulled off the bottom of the plant. I was so beat by then I said ah fu*k it i need to relax. so i used some nice microwave trick and it did the job quite nicely for me being so impatient. It actually turned out to be 2.5 dry, and for being from the bottom of the barrell so to speak, I was extremely satisfied. I can only imagine how the rest of the plant will be!!:stoned:

ps. gotta love new marlboro red special blends, their cellophane was perfect for my first bagged gram!

Awesome job, bet you're proud of your girls!
