4 plants flowering over 100 colas!!!

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far. I appreciate it! I thought there would be more, but that's cool. This has been a really great thread, and there has been more conversation here than I EVER expected. Thanks all!!!

snutter you did good for your first grow on your own man.. think about it like this.. if you put the same amount of work or more with all that you learned and co2 you are going to get more weight next time. looks tasty

Yo S. Very very good grow. Like I had said earlier you have twisted my arm to start growing and using DWC again after following this thread. Also thanks for being so forth coming and putting a whole lot of time and effort into this thread, very cool of you, it was much appreciated, you passed on a load of good info. Peace out brotha all the best and yeh waiting on the final tally of the grow.

Ya man, trulely inspiring actually. I was in Walmart the other day looking a rubbermaid's, the g/f asked me why I was looking at them, and I told her I might go DWC in the near future. I figured ol' snut boy would lend a helping hand here and there. With some questions and what not.
Great grow bro

Thanks Razor. I do feel pretty good about this grow. And yeah man, I have some good ideas on how to really improve my yield on this next one, so the learning curve is going one way only. Up! Or wait a second, should that be down??? hahahah. I'm actually not sure. That's friggin funny man!!

That's awesome Mr. Wannabe!! I'm stoked that you decided to get back in to hydro, and that following this thread helped you make the decision. DWC rules, in my opinion. Keep me posted on the progress of your DWC grow. I definitely would like to follow it!!! Finall tally will be here in a few more days. Gotta let it cure slowly, ya know... And I'm glad you liked the thread. I can promise you that I will put at least as much effort in to the next thread as well. I hope you follow it too. PEACE, Bro!

hahahhah. That's awedome Hardroc. And hell yeah, brutha. You know you can count on me to answer any questions and help you out any way I can. Thanks again, dude!


Thanks to all 3 of you guys. You rule!

May have missed the post of the type of bud you grew. What is it btw. Looks sick. Happy smoking

also what was your total yield

I hope to do great things like this one day!!!!

Brilliant Job, snutter! I always failed with DWC but you got it down.

When I grew with 400 watters I had the same "problem" with the lower growth. Top colas and secondary tops were big and rock hard while everything below turned to pain in the ass to trim, popcorn buds. The 400s just don't have the penetration needed for such deep canopies. I would either upgrade to bigger lights or grow more smaller plants but I think you mentioned already that you will veg shorter next time. Good thinking

Hope you get the 2 p's, but either way enjoy the RHINO, (MedMan) I grew it before and loved it.

And best luck next time around!

Hell vertise. I grow White Rhino. It has a deep stone with a narcotic effect that I just love.

As for final weight, I'm not sure yet. it's still curing. I'll know in about 5 more days and will post it. Check back around then, buddy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Great grow, I think these thread helped a lot of people out about DWC and lower wattage fixtures. +rep

I was reading you were thinking about maybe doing the lollipop trick or less veg time. I think the less veg time is your answer for the set up you have and wattage.

In my experience, (and I am no master, still learning every day) nice big green leaves make bigger buds, if you remove lower leaves it will not maintain chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll, you'll have no photosynthesis going on.
Plus it takes more N to maintain greener leaves, as we all know N will make a plant uptake more water = bigger buds.

Still a great grow bro, I can't wait until your next grow.

man post them pictures of that tasy fine weed you got enjoying life in jars.. man I am on that count down.. cant wait

Another suggestion to the popcorn bud problem, is to do a dual harvest (harvest colas, and large buds and give the smaller ones a week or two to fatten up)

Wow.. beautiful plants dude.. have a nice smoke with those babies

Hello All,

As promised, one last post by me in this thread (well I'm sure I'll check back from time to time and end up posting, but you guys know what I mean..)

Well, the final weight came in at a little over 28 ounces of very dry, crispy killer bud, a little less than 4 ounces shy of 2 pounds. I'm very happy with this number. I've learned a lot about "guessing" the harvest.....Just grow, harvest, dry and be happy!!! heheh.

Of course, we've been smoking on the first harvested stuff, which I didn't cure as much as I did the last 3 plants that I harvested. And let me say that giving it the couple extra days to fully dry out and cure made all the difference in the world.

The weed lights up and burns so hot and fast that you get a very thick smoke as you draw through the bong. This translates in to taste... which is still sweet, earthy, and spicy to me... The high is like I said. VERY intense, deep, mellow, lethargic, and narcotic. But, it's not for the beginning stoner, in my opinion. This is an intense high. I'm sure that every one of you out there would love it. If you're ever in Oregon, hit me up. If at all possible, we'll share a bowl or ten.. heheh. And drink many of the best beers the USA has to offer!!!!

take care everyone. Thank you very much for following this grow. I'll see you in the next one.

I wanted to point out one last thing to everyone in case you didn't do the math..

My last 3 plants averaged 8 ounces each.. if my damn runt plant would have done the same, I would have hit 2 lbs no problem.

Still, the master grower (and he is a master at the art of growing, believe me) can hit 4 or 5 more ounces a plant than that. I'm still not sure how, and can't ask because I refuse to call him (don't really get along any more). hheheh. I'll figure it out in time!!!

Yo snutter, i think a half p a plant is hella legit, i mean in time you can possibly do more, but hey i think your off to an awesome start bro. Im just getting ready to clip clones, and do a sog along with flowering the 3 mothers, just to utilize the extra space we talked about.

If you could get back to me on the super thrive issue, im still unsure how much of this to use, i have an 8 gallon reservoir and i keep it between 6 and 6 1/2 gallons full of water. Also when cloning, im going to be using rockwool, after i soke them in water how often should i water the rockwool? Or should the initial soaking be good for them to root. If you could get back to me that would be sweet, peace bro!

Awesome brotha, great yield and thanks for the read.

Hey MP, good to hear from you brother! I'll go ahead and just hit you up with a PM, cool? I'll send one to you in the next few hours and we can pick up our growing discussion where we left off...

I'm glad to hear that your grow is going well for you, dude! That's kick ass. I'm positive you are going to have kick ass results, just from the talks that we've had. You're doing shit right!!!

who made that white rhino?
