Phat Jays 2nd Grow (CFL/Coco) w/pics

[PhatJay]

Although it was a really nice smoke, I personally didn't think that this crop was quite as good as my last one. I got 106g's dried weight (after I removed all secondary from their stalks and cut the stalks from the bottom of the main colas). Plant D's main cola was 20g's and plant E's four colas came to 36g's. The other 50g's was made up of secondary buds and popcorn.

Fimming didn't seem to have any effect on the size of the secondary buds, in fact the secondary buds on the fimmed plant were larger than on the plant I left to grow naturally.

Here are pics of the buds once they had dried (proper stalk snapping dry)
(click pics for hi-res versions)

Fimming Definatly paid off, harvest looks awsome, great job want do you think your dry weight will be?

About 106g's

You going to make a little bit of hash with the trim ?

Nah.. I quick dry the trim and smoke it, it stops me attacking my buds before they are ready. I smoke the trim 1st, then the popcorn, then the secondary buds and save the main colas till last.

so wt u gna gro nxt? Ope ur kool x

I am growing 2 White Rhinos, they are currently 4 weeks old and are already looking really sexy. I am trying out the Dutch Pro nutes I got for free, so far I am impressed. Hope your good too mate.

its a little late but i was just reading over your grow and noticed you were having probelms with plants getting too heavy and breaking.


Treat your plants with Silica next time. Plants use silica to to reinforce the cell walls of stems and branches. While it might not keep your plants stading straight up, i promish you not a single branch will break. The stuff is truely amazing and it really helps stregthen your stems. Silica also increases the hardiness of the plants and assists them in resisting disease, drought, and other environmental stress. Its relatively cheap too and can be used with every watering without the risk of burning.

As an added benefit, it really beefs up the inner stems of the plant. This increases the weight and overall yield(more than you would think too, i probably got an extra 1/2 OZ with the extra stem weight.

In fact, your gunna have to bust out the Bolt cutter come harvest time. I shit you not.

It's funny you mentioned that. I was reading your thread a few weeks ago and noticed your comments about silica. I had put a note on my desktop to ask you about it. :thumbsup:

I may not need it this grow as I am experimenting with keeping my plants smaller and seeing how much this effects yield. I put the cuttings into flower the day I got them. Well I say cuttings, they came from a new source and they had 5 nodes the day I got them. I wanted to put them into flower a bit earlier than that.

sheeeit looks dank though. Thats some of the best CFL bud ive ever seen.

Thanks
