Well, I finally harvested these babies. I have some pics I may post later. The batteries are dead in the camera as usual!

Anyways, not the grow I had hoped for. I think the plants had too much nutes. And the PH dropped to like 4.5 a couple times. At that point, they stated putting off 1 fan leaves. And somehow I got some pollen dammit. Seed quantity unknown at this point, but I have some full grown seeds. I think one plant hermied on me due to the stress.

BUT! I am not mad or unhappy. I still got TONS of smoke off of them. And I did Flora Kleen and for the last 3 days before harvest... My pre-final cut buds get me high... I am sure the mature ones will too!

What did I learn from this grow? 1. Don't screen hydro buckets where you cant get to the inner bottoms. 2. Put your buckets in a single row. The back row is difficult to manage. 3. 430watts HPS is good for 3ft by 3ft in my opinion. NOT any larger than that. 4. Males SUCK ASS!!! 5. Get a PH/PPM Meter! (Thats my next purchase BEFORE I do another grow )

Well, good luck to all you growers out there. I'm afraid my time as a grower has come to an end. Possibly one day in the future I will again give it a try. I just dont have the available time I would feel necessary to dedicate to growing right now. And the laws are strict and the punishments harsh. I just cant put my family in jeapordy for some buds I can buy on the corner... I will keep my grow stuff at my brothers where it is safest. I have already cleaned it all up with bleach water and boxed everything up. I have gotten rid of all the harvest junk and the buds are drying at my partners house. I took pics and showed them to him so he cant cheat me off my 1/2. He shouldnt cause he has plenty of his own...

Anyways, growing was a great experience. To see a seed go from germ to bud to actual SMOKE was a learning experience to say the least. I hope one day the laws lighten up! I would love to grow some personal year round!!!

I will be around osometimes. Just as a smoker now, not a grower...

See you in chat sometime!
