So, was that Uncle Ben's topping method? Was thinking of trying that out. If not, where did you top her? Thanks. I must say it is very impressive, especially considering your pot size. What size is that?
doh... see where you said 2 gal.

i topped using uncle bens method as a guide however i really cant say exactly what i did for her to turn out like that it was just pure noob luck. i was aiming for 2 top colas and for some reason all four grew strong. but yes uncle bens is a good guide for beginners

Another question ecro, how much longer did you veg after topping? I think I want to try this as mine are just about the right size. I'm thinking at least another three weeks before 12/12? Thanks

i believe i only vegged for a further week or two definetly not 3, but then again 3 might be better

8 days left till harvest no amber trichs as of yet but im pretty sure that its 98% cloudy trichs. just waiting to spot a couple amber before i chop her, she has about 70% amber hairs so im not sure trying to find a balance between pistils and trichs any advice would be greatly appreciated

6 days to go so pumped now cant wait to chop her down and enjoy (after drying and curing of course). the best bud is the bud you grow yourself peace

She got her last water today, ready for the chop in 3 days very excited been reading up on drying and curing don't want her to go to waste if i do it wrong. Ill be making cannabutter with the trimmings wont be a lot but should be enough for one fun meal. next update will be harvest pics and wet weight

i decided to give her a full 24 hour dark period tomorrow before i chop her early morning the following day i figured it cant hurt and may possible increase potency and flavor like some say

awesome,looks dank as fuck man
bon appétit!
thanks man i have tried some and gotta say its amazing, i recommend this strain to anyone. incredibly long lasting and a smooth smoke. not much of a smell right now hoping the curing will bring that back and not much of a flavor either but overall a great strain with incredible head and body high.

- 2 x 24w 6500k bulbs for veg = 48w (3339 lumens)
- 6 x 24w 2700k bulbs for flower = 144w (10008 lumens)
Unfortunately that's not how it works my friend, I was confused by this also, IE: If say your running 2 x 65 watt CFL's rated at 4300 lumens each, those lights together won't then be putting out 8600 lumens they will still be putting out 4300 lumens each, its just 4300 lumens twice so it will cover a wider area but it won't penetrate like 8600 lumens would, wow its almost even more confusing when I try to explain it, lol, I'm no electrician so can someone please chime in here with a better explanation?
