If I can pull 1/4 ounce outta each bud I will be a happy camper.

Tell me....how did the bud stone you?

Did the short 21 day veg cycle affect potency,..in your opinion?

Thanks
Sounds cool man, I'll be looking forward to your achievements from that.

The stone was, okay quality. It took about 6 bong rips for me to get stoned. Not super stoned, but, a comfortable stone. If I had to rate it from 1-10, I would say it was about a 7. Meh...not good, not great. It compared nothing to WW I grew last time Whew, that shit could take an elephant down.

The top cola is still curing and I'm gonna start smoking on that tonight. I'll snap a pic, she frosted up reeeeal nice.

But the remainder of the plant I smoked after maybe 3-4days of curing. When first inhaled, I could feel a slight sting on the back of my throat, but once in my lungs it was okay. No harsh coughing, comes out smooth, but harsh going in. It tasted a little green, over ripened in my opinion. I let her live too long I think. It had a nice floral taste to it. Not bad, could have been better.

I also made the mistake of transplanting during flowering A big no no, which I have learned twice about now. So this time around I'm transplanting during vegging so she is in 100% good health, and happy home when she hits 12/12.

I don't think short veg time had a really big effect on potency. It had a huge effect on yeild, obviously, but I think if a person keeps that plant in good health, no matter how short the veg time, it can come out just as potent if grown with 60days veg or 20days veg. A lot has to do with ferts too. I was using this small tub of chemical, blue, crystal shit, that I got for under $4. Sure it works, but I can use better. I want to use healthy shit for my plants, no more "good-enough" attitude

I have already changed my choice in ferts. I took your suggestion and went for some bat guano. I'm using all organics this time, and I'll be going to the garden store within the next few days to pick out some healthy medium for the plant.

Peace.
