thnx all. the setup is very basic. just 8 23w cfl's. 2 2700k, 2 3500k, 2 5000k, 2 6500k. the 2700k and 5000k on top. the 3500k and 6500k on the sides. there is no reflective material, because walmart is constantly out of emergency blankets. i keep the lights about 1 1/2 - 2in away. a small fan on her and a thermometer with temps around 78-82º. any other questions would be great if i didn't answer them. thnx guys

Today is day 57 of flowering and the buds are plumping up nicely. I'm planning on harvesting on the 29th, which would be 67 days. She might need to go a week or so past that, i'll have to see what she looks like next week. there will be more pics this weekend. hopefully i can get some nice closeups. patience, patience, just a little more time.

day 60 of flowering and not quite sure if 7 more days is enough. it's hard to tell by pics but about 50% of hairs are red. i'm not sure about the trichs. i know, 12 bucks for a microscope but i can't even shell that out right now. i know that i want an uplifting head high and not a couchlock comatose. any info on this would be very helpful. thnx

well guys, it's all over. today i went and had the bedroom door open so she could get some fresh air. a couple of hours go by and i decide to let my ferret out to run and play. he was out having a good time for 30 min or so. then i go in the bedroom to move some stuff and notice her smelling strong. so i went to look at her, and to my disapointment she was snapped in half. so had to harvest 1-2 weeks early. the wet weight after her trim was 28g. wanted that dry but hey, tried some today and got the head high i was looking for. i hope i can pull 14g dry but doubt it. any thoughts on this?

Sucks Big Time about the death in the family! I morn for your early loss! Did you have a chance to start flushing or anything? How long did you cure and dry it before you smoked it or did you just pull the buds and fire it up?

wow 2 days to dry. really wasn't much to dry. the buds were very airy. the calyxes shrunk dramatically. not sure if that is normal. the dry weight was a whole 9g, but 9g i grew so it's alright. i put them in a mason jar, not sure it will do much for them. the bud looks like crap but smells good, tastes alright and got me stoned. when the bud is curin do they plump up anymore? well thnx all and there are more germing.
