Dresser stealth grow- Two Weeks Into Flowering

Lookin really good in here! Im sub'd for sure, I wanna see your harvest
My Road Runner looks alot like your plant, the buds at least

haha funny one new guy. but yeah i cant wait to see how they turn out. should it be really smelly by now?

can anyone guess a rough estimate of how much i may get of the bigger plant?

id say somewhere in the 20-30 gram dry range at least. but, again i'm the new guy.

really, that would be sick i wasnt expecting that much.

thats definitely just a guess though, so dont take my word for it for sure, lol.

haha alright well im tryin to keep my guess low so i dont get disappointed but i low ball estimate a half o.

Update: Six Weeks And a Day (day 43 of flowering)

they are lookin real nice

anyone know if they should smell alot at this point? the buds smell up close but doesnt give off a stong smell in the room. Will it smell better once i dry and cure?
?

It really depends on the strain how much they smell exactly but at this point you should smell something, and you do, so all is well. At 45 days of flower time my Road Runner (autoflower) is stinkin up the entire room the box is in...

Beautiful buds!!! =)

Thanks man.

But yeah snipe i wish they smelled more but o well.

yeah, it might be a strain thing... some strains don't smell much at all. my first grow (sour diesel) smelled like a mother fucker, especially the last couple weeks and during drying. the smell changes a lot while it's drying (smells like hay) and then once it starts curing in jars, it changes back to a skunky pot smell that's much better. good luck with the harvest, when are you chopping?

good to know man. not positive when im gonna chop. at the latest the 16th so like a week and a half. think they will be ready?

Day 46:

They look good now, I can tell from the pics your trichs are turning amber really quickly. Im jealous, my Road Runner is still only about 10% amber.

they're looking good kushkid. couldn't really tell you about trichs without a scope, but in another 10 days you should have some pretty decent buds. what's your drying/curing plan?

thanks guys. Im not exactly sure what im doing yet with my drying and curing. probably hang them in a cardboard box then dry in nice jar i got. how long do you usually dry for?

I say this method is awesome and it was takin from someone on riu, just not sure who.
Short version: Cut plants and take off main branches, hang all to dry for 2-3 days.
Take branches down, trim up buds and remove them from branches leaving just 1/4" of stem.
Put all bud into a paper bag in a thin layer and put shredded brown paper bag over that layer. Repeat this as needed.
Dry bud until stems snap, but not break (or something like that)
Then put your bud into jars. Open the jars 3-5 times a day and let the bud air out for a few mins. After a month you will have awesome cured bud.

the way i did it was:
- first i cut the main branches one by one and trimmed all the leaves off (you can keep the small sugar leaves near the buds for making hash or butter)
- then i hung them to dry in a box like you're saying... mine took about 4-5 days, it'll depend on size. you want a crispy feel to the buds, but the stems still not snapping.
- then cut each bud off at the branch node, and put them in jars.
- you check the jars a few times a day at first to make sure the buds don't get soggy (if they do, take them out for a few hours until they're crispy again)
- then as the days go by, you check less and less often... after about 5 days from first jarring, i was leaving them in there for 1-2 days at a time.

hope this helps
