Oh, I cut the top off the widow tonight, and downed the Neville's!

I'm water curing about 1/2 Oz (estimate) and the restof the neville's is getting air cured. The Widow Cola is getting mostly air cured, but I may throw some in water cure as well.

That Neville's looked like a truly awesome bud! You used a phrase "Water curing" please could you link me somewhere to find out more? Searching this site didn't help because nobody could agree on what it meant :(

It's easy; put water in a jar and put uncured, undried, buds in the water. Change the water daily for one week, make sure you're very gentle about it. Take the buds out and dry with a fan. Smoke when dry!

Hey, BB! Nice fucking pipe, Happy Belated Birthday! So sorry to hear about the falling light and broken plants, that truly sucks. The remaining girls look great, though. Area 51 should sponsor your ass and use your pics for their products, they are the nicest I've seen under LED. Just curious, why did you go the LED route, and how dense do your nugs finish? Have you grown with HPS, and if so what's the comparison?

Heya TD, thanks for stopping in!

I'll have to mention that to Jeff @ Area 51 lol.

I went with LED to avoid high power bills, plain and simple. It was a learning process, and some LED's really do suck. I have no cooling (A/C), I have one fan, and the lights.... that's all I run. Temps never above 28 Celsius...

The nugs usually finish very nicely, not rock hard but they aren't airy at all! This Area 51 has definitely produced me the nicest buds out of any LED I've ever used. Never used HID, only ever done outdoor and LED - but my friend uses HID and my buds are always better than his! :D

That being said, I use a SHIT LOAD of very expensive nutes....

I think Area 51 hit the spectrum MJ plants need on the head, and the LED's they chose offer great performance at not insane prices. lol

I wouldn't use a smaller light to do a 4x4 space...
Thanks for the info man, its really good to get a bit of good advice on led's, that water curing sounds really interesting let us know how it works out for you, get on that thing with a51 too, this is the best journal ive found to show what led's can do on here, continued good luck. peace

Ah, I see. It's amazing to hear that your LEDs outperform your buddy's HPS! I've never heard that before. Sounds like you're using AN nutes, I'm thinking of switching over as so many heavy growers here say that no other nutes come close to the yield. Would you mind listing your nute line-up? I've finally got into the mindset to never skimp on anything, as the price of one or two ozs more than covers any extra expense (esp. now that I make my living this way). Must be nice to know another grower, I'm SO lonely ;)

Edit: just read the OP, I see the listing of AN products. Have you ever used other nutes indoors as a comparison of yield? At what ratios do you use the AN products? I heard that if you use the recommended doses your PPM will be way too hot. Sorry for all the questions, but you seem to know your shit...

I use the recommended dosages, but I give them straight water every other water..... they seem to like it? :)

That's the same mind set as me my man, we grow money trees for god sake... I want to make sure I have KILLER product.

Christ, 500ml of VooDoo Juice is $70.... lol That's like crack prices!

Money does grow on trees! So pure water every other time? I guess that's like running half strength all the time (I do F&D tables). Okay, I'm going the AN route! My hydro shop guy will be SO pleased :) Thanks, BB...

It's tap water, and I usually still give them B-52, Sesnizyn, and Voodoo Juice, but usually no nutes.... if they look thirsty or when I first switch them to flower they get full strength all the time, just have to watch how they react and adjust accordingly.

Sucks about the crash. I have a gromedics 5 x 5 @ 7ft and was really impressed with the quality until i had one of the top supports give way. Lucky i didn't loose anything. Looks like a really nice grow you have going

Honestly, I have no real routine with the plants... Most of the time they get Full strength AN nutes everytime, but I just watch the plants.... if they start to show defficiencies, usually I just give them straight 6.5pH water for a few days and go right back to Full strength nutes...

I water them when they are dry, that's all I can tell ya... lol usually every 2-3 days, depends on the strain and how far into flower/veg it is.

Like I said, no real routine I just spend a lot of time with my ladies and constantly monitor how they're doing! :D

Coming from you that's two compliments! Great work, sorry about the accident.

Yeah, fucking bullshit plastic ends for the tent are garbage, nothing a little plywood can't fix however!

I'm going to make 2 new mothers, my C99 and Purps; next grow is going to be a scrog and fewer, bigger, plants. I hear C99 is deadly in a scrog, so I guess we'll see!

Nice Job on the Neville Beef. She is Stellar. AREA 51 rocks!

Makes me want to try the Neville but I have a lot of seeds to grow before I can buy more. I am curious to see how she would come out with my SS as opposed to AN . Man she is nice

Thanks brother, I appreciate it! I'm digging the A51 panel, it's a beast! It fell like 7 feet and lived too... solid ass panel.
