Auto dwarf grow...

"Hopefully it was just in that bud because it was so damn thick and dense."

This is almost exactly the problem. Despite the external humidity, the humidity relative to the inside of that bud was much higher, pus the darkness made for a perfect mold environment.

When I grow big stuff like that, I always make sure to get a couple of bamboo skewers and try to separate the buds out a bit to allow more airflow and less chance of bud mold before harvest.

It was a terrible feeling indeed. Especially with the laws so harsh here in FL.
I know by research that I would have gotten 15 years MMS so that was pounding in my head while trying to break everything down and spray ozium and febreeze lol. Im glad nobody saw any of the shit that flew out the back windows. Have an herb garden and compost pile in the back porch so i just buried the entire plants in the compost as fast as I could.

It wasnt a total loss... even though they were early at 6 weeks the blue mystic was almost ripe being a 7 week strain. Also the big plant wasnt far behind her. The smoke is decent with a slight berry after taste. A few grams shy of 4oz dried and curing. Probably would have been 6ozs or a bit more... there was alot of bud I wasnt able to trim off.



As for the next grow... I have a good sized collection of seeds now. I have over 30 strains to choose from so it will be fun choosing.

I know for sure I will finish up my auto seeds which are Afghan Kush Ryder. Also might be trying an indica called Punky Lion that is chocolate flavored and scented. I do want a sativa in the tent this time as well. Maybe G13 labs Purple Haze...

I will also be trying some different things. Got a sample size box that contains all the BC nutes and addatives products with a mixing chart. I might try those in some DWC. Anybody ever use those products?

Also will be purchasing a new LED panel. Maybe a 180w or a little bit bigger. Hopefully all you people who are getting good results can point me towards some good cheap lamps with 3w diodes. I was looking at this one.

120w LED Grow Light Panel - High Powered 5-Band available

Looks nice but it seems a bit over priced.

I will be posting pics later today.

Anything over quad band is a waste.

From the site ad: 11+ Wavelengths of Color Output: 760nm, 740nm, 720nm, 660nm*, 630nm, 615nm-480nm, 460nm, 440nm*, 415nm, 380nm

Yes, they're just playing the more colors = more better game.

You might as well just buy a 180w 4500K white LED panel for half the price using the same construction, and you'll get the same results.

And as to their claim that a 180w LED panels = two 120w LED panels? I want to see the grams per kilowatt-hour yield. They've gotta beat my 1.24 g/kWh before they can even dare make that claim. Not one company yet has done so and I've already offered twenty-five grand to anyone that can prove me wrong.

Nobody's biting on the challenge.

That was such a nice grow for the disaster you ended up with! So what happened with the stuff you threw out the window(Half plants)? Did you retrieve them later on? What was the tops like? Did they turn out ok after only 6 weeks? Did you get a decent amount of dry weight from the tops? This thread was very interesting, then an abrupt halt with a bum deal. Then that was it! Very interested in knowing what happened after the fact! Please do share. I am sure I am not the only one who would like to know the final ending to story! You done such a great job, for such a crappy ending!!! Look at it this way tho. You could of got caught by the cops and went to jail with never even getting a chance to enjoy any of them! Please do reply for our curiosities. Thanks

OK, I was :stoned: and never got to the next page! I see it now. Please disregard last post! LOL...Dah!

Thanks for the kind words anyways rickybudz. It really was a bummer but im in a new location and a new grow. I am grateful to the powers that be that I didnt get caught.

The ganja gods are kind.

[khyberkitsune]

So glad you didn't get caught. That would have SUCKED badly, yo.

[adamraja]

nice thread, thanks for posting, how did you get the seeds to germinate? you just plant them in soil and wait? sorry for the newbie questions

[GetThisOrDie]

Thanks for the comments. I used the paper towel method then transplanted them into soil filled cups. Another good way is to just place the seed in a wet Rapid Rooter and keep it warm.
