+ REP!!..100% awesome grow. You gonna try the 24 hours of darkness?..I hear that gives the plants a chance to produce a crazy amount of trichs. I think its 24 hours or 48 hours..hell either way your golden bro. Congrats.
I was reading something in hightimes awhile back and read something about 72 hours of darkness. They said it could increase up to 30% with trich production. It was 48-72 hours to be exact. Can anyone concur?

I'm not cannaboy but I'll stop by to see your grow sometime today. I kept them about 2-4 inches away the tops and the bottom of my baby. Never anything further then that. I also had about 200 actual watts in a cab with less then 4 sqft

you flower too soon if you ask me.[/QUOTE]

yeah man I went on Vacation when this baby just started growing. When I came back the lights in my cab were off. I wasn't sure how long they had been off so I had to force my girl into flower. Believe me man if I could of let her Veg a little longer I would have. Could only imagine my yield if I would have let her go another week or so.

I tried the 72h darkness with a couple of plants from my last grow. Honestly, I didn't notice any difference. Than again, since it was such a small sample population (two plants after 72h, two after 24h, and three chopped shortly after lights-on), I doubt that my results have any real significance. However, 30% increase in trich production sounds a little unrealistic, imo.

That is kinda what I figured when I was reading it. Didn't understand how the plant would produce more without light. Anyways thanks for that Xebeche. I'll be sure to let you and everyone else my end weight. She is looking pretty fat at this point. :)

Looks great! It won't take long for the trimming. Depending on the trichomes some darkness might be good for it.

BG, your girl looks great man! As for the 72 hours of darkness, Stoneyluv swears by it, so I trust him on that front. The darkness is supposed to help build up resin production as the plant thinks it's dying. Anyway, should be good either way. That main cola has gotten huge! Look forward to the dry weight & smoke report :)

p.s. new grow is looking insane!

Thanks homer and +rep again for that advice. I cut off the smallest nug yesterday and started to dry it out to see the difference between now and next week. It weighed 5gs exactly wet...so i'm thinking about 1-2 gs dry?? I am looking forward to smoking it too.

FOR THOSE WHO WANNA FOLLOW THIS NEW GROW, HERE IS THE LINK

I flushed her yesterday and her lights stayed off this morning. Gonna have her sit in the dark till Monday and then *Chop Chop* I wanted to let her go about 3 days longer and and let a little more of the nugs mature but I found something kinda disappointing... :( Yesterday when examining my buds a little more closely I noticed that some of the nugs have a little bit of rot towards the stem. Basically my airflow wasn't OPTIMUM so those big, dense nugs are the ones that kinda suffered. I hope it doesn't effect my taste of my buds too much. I will take pics or even a video on Monday before we cut her up to show you what I meant by the rot. Its unfortunate but I guess you learn from mistakes, right?? Happy Smoking :weed:

I am super surprised on how bomb she has been smelling now that she has been sitting in the dark for about two days. Tomorrow will be the chop down so stay tuned. I will post some pics and possibly a video. Thanks for all the support and advice everyone has given me through out this grow. I can't wait to further expand to something a little bigger and hopefully better. goodnight and happy smoking peeps :weed:

Well guys last night I pulled her out of the dark after sitting in there for just about 72 hours. I have a funny Video of my friends and I chopping her down. Once my friend sends me that link I will be putting it up. Besides that, everything turned out pretty damn good. The top cola weighed in at 37g wet. All together the wet weight was 153.5gs wet. I know I am about to lose 60% of that or more so I am expecting to get about a zip. This whole grow has been a great experience. Thanks to all of you guys that helped me along the way (homer, xebeche, taint. Just to name a few :) ) If you have any questions or comments please post. I'll also post again later today the link to the new grow Ive got going on. Thanks for all the advice and the encouragement. Happy smoking :weed:

Congrats BG!!! That's a great pull man, and that main cola turned out to be huge. I think you might pull over an ounce dry, time will tell! Well done, and looking forward to that video, and eventually a smoke report!

p.s. I don't know how to make hash... hopefully someone here will teach you the way. but if you want to make cannabutter with the trimmings, here's a link to "my" recipe:

Thanks man. I originally hoped for 19gs and now I am hoping it will dry out to be around a zip. The nugs are starting to get a little dry already. AZ is a dry place ha ha. Its only been in there for a day and a half and is already kinda crispy on the outside. The nugs might be getting jarred here in a day or so. +rep for that butter recipe. So far I smoked a quick dried nug and the taste was surprisingly smooth. Real heady high so I can't wait for her to cure and get that full potential outta her. Thanks again for everyone following!
