Looking great! I'm interested in Tut as I bought a 5 pack to try out!

I'd like to give them another try. This is pretty much our first grow and we really messed up a lot. They seem to be pretty resilient though! I was hoping that the buds would have swollen up more by now. I can't really see much of a difference the past month..I mean, they have swollen a bit, but not nowhere near what I would have thought. :/

And they still look awesome. Great first grow. After they are done give a smoke report

ok, pics from June 19th and a few from yesterday!


This is from Sunday when we transplanted...you can see how big she is. This is I think an Ayahuasca Purple.


These girls are so close to being done. I forgot to mention in my other posts that they have been being flushed since June 6th. So just straight PH'd water for them. I was planning on flushing for 2 weeks, but because they aren't done, they are going to get a little longer flush. I love the last pic. I think that is the Ayahuasca purple..you can see some of the purple coming out! We actually just chopped her last night on the 20th. Her trichs were mostly amber, cloudy, and a few clear so we figured it was time. The other girls are close, but not quite ready yet.


These girls are starting to fall over from the weight of the buds. I'm hoping the plants that are near finished hurry the heck up so I can move these into the bigger tent. I want to get them under the 1000w HPS for their last month of flowering...Plus I want to get the net over them to help them hold up their weight. They are pretty big though, the tops come up almost to my shoulder.. I am a shorty though..haha!

Haha! Thanks! Most definitely, although It'll be hubby giving the smoke report..I'm preggo right now and probably not a good idea..LOL

Ok, last post for now! A few pics after cutting down the Ayahuasca purple last night! We went ahead and trimmed her up. We've got her hanging in a small walk in closet. I"m going to put a humidifier in there with them to try and slow the drying down a bit (It's so dry here in the desert). I'm kind of freaking out though. We thought all these plants would be done by now and were leaving for 5 days July 4th. They will be in jars by then and I'm scared of not being able to check on them daily. Ugh, that will be a little nerve racking. :/ I did buy some boveda 62% 2-way RH Humidity control packs to put in the jars. I'm curious as to what the net weight is going to be off this one plant. I'm guessing 2 1/2-3 oz? Anybody have a good guess?

This is our first! It's pretty exciting! We know our lives are about to be turned upside down! But it should be a pretty fun adventure!

Turned upside down for the better. Being a parent and watching them grow is amazing!

Harvested the rest of our crop! Trichomes were about 1/3 clear to probably 1/3 cloudy and 1/3 amber..We ended up hitting our pound and actually got a few extra ounces for a total dried weight of 1 pound 2 oz!! Yay!!! I didn't think we were going to hit the pound because we had so many set backs during the grow. We hung them up in a closet with a humidifier...although the humidity only got up to 35-40%, they were dry within 3 days and we jarred them. I put a hygrometer in with them and they were reading between 60%-65% each jar I tested after being in the jar for 24 hours. I guess we jarred them at the perfect time. They were pretty crunchy on the outside and the stems were bendy but didn't snap. I've been burping them every day! Hubby said the smoke is really good, he smoked some of the Ayahuasca purple yesterday and he looked LIT! LOL I really look forward to this next crop, the girls are looking amazing! Here's a few pics of the harvest!

Update time! Here's some pics of the girls that just got moved into the big tent. They are in week 5 of flowering (or been 5 weeks since first signs of flowers) These are the Ayahuasca Purple and Sugar Black Rose. We couldn't turn the 1000w light all the way up because it was too hot on the tops of the plants from them beings so tall...so we have it turned down to 750 watts. They seem to be doing pretty good though. They are getting really frosty and they look real healthy. We just defoliated them. We took about 20% of the leaves on. They were super thick with leaves and the guy from the local grow shop suggested we do that so they don't mold and the buds in the middle of the plant gets more light. anyways, on with the pics!
