Your grow looks amazing, I'm very eager to see the end result! About how much does it cost you monthly to run those cfl bulbs? I'm curious to know because I plan on a cfl grow very soon. I'm currently in the process of growing a couple of afghan sisters under a 4 tubed-hydrofarm fluorescent setup and it's working wonders. I like the idea of cfl's because of how easy they are to manipulate around the plants.

hey man the cfls only costed me maybe $10 a month hardly enough to notice the difference with 230Watts mixed spectrum mostly 2700k n a little 4100k n 6500k i am happy with the results of cfls its just hard to not burn the leaves from it growing so fast all the time lol gotta be watching it a couple times a day or in my case about 50 times a day most times lol!!!

No i couldnt Reveg:( i had to get rid of it my gf left the house door unlocked yesterday and her aunt came in the house to bring some dolls and the doors were all wide open she definetly seen it so thats why i chopped her a few days earlier then i had planed so i had to dispose of everything except the bud lol oh well i have a ton more seeds comeing, one of my friends found 6 of those seeds in the same bag of bud i bought so hopefully his produce more seeds he grew his outside so they are still not ready yet!!
i may have seeds still in mine too but the couple that i can see are still abit green so i think they may be to pre mature but who knows see soon cause i found 3 more hermie flowers after that i would never have found by looking through the plant that were opened up and dried out the sneaky little buggers!

_MG_2167.jpgHeisenberg.jpgVery nice man. Well done. I'm hoping mine will swell like that too. This batch still has three or four weeks to go, so it's looking like I might get some "Newfie buds" too!

Sweet man can't wait to see it all dry n smokeable!

Make sure u keep the humidity low (below 40 if possible) and fresh air flow in the room where ur drying and keep it dark in there. I usually let them hang upside down for a couple days atleast and till the nugs feel crunchy to the touch on the outside and stem is fairly easy to break. Then I put it all in tukey bags after trimming and let it sit for atleast a week (don't have to do this) and then burp the bag atleast a few times a day. Then ready to go into jars to be smoked of cured even longer if u can wait.

I keep them at 45-50% humidity (pretty close to what Nug said) and plenty of airflow. One thing I'm careful of is not allowing a circulating fan to blow directly on them. I find this sucks the moiture from the surface of the nug too fast, and then the inside can't dissipate the higher moisture content into the dry, crispy outside. Also, total darkness to keep the tricomes from degrading. I jar cure as well. I keep the jars in a rifle locker (keeps light AND people out lol). Difference between me and Nug is I go straight from the drying room to jars, and burp them from there once a day until they are dry enough to smoke, but just barely. Then I burp about once a week for a few weeks.
I am by no means an expert though. That's just what works for me.

What did the harvest weigh fresh? I usually lose about 75% of the fresh weight. (1 pound fresh ends up approximately a QP when it's dry)
