BIG BUD harvesting help needed (with pics)

Lacy said:

Hey Chiceh,
Yeah I've noticed you are always an early riser also. I can't sleep in unless I'm really sick and I'm feeling great these days. I guess you are too.

I have only cropped down about 1/4 or 1/5 of my crop. There is one plant I have not even started chopping yet because it got knocked off the deck by the cat and was nothing but a match stick last June. It's about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall.

I cut down two similar looking ones that were more tall and lanky. That was a surprise because I wasn't expecting it to be good 'cause it doesn't smell all that great but it is incredibly good.

I have another plant that is really big with HUGE buds and it has at least another week or two yet. (smells amazing)

Then I have one other plant that is really bushy. I don't think I have ever grown one so bushy before but I am sure it has to do with the strain. I've picked a few buds off that just as testers.

I prefer the head stone where I can work and do things, not the couch lock high. That high I don't mind occassionally while watching a movie or something.

This is totally exciting for me. I forgot how much fun this is.
Can't wait to build my grow room.
I have about 1/2 pound picked so far.

I am a morning person too, I like the quiet before the the house errupts in energy from my 5 year old daughter.
I hear ya on the buzz. I like a head high over a body buzz myself. I can get a lot done. All my cleaning and chores get done while high, lol.
I am starting on my spring plans for my gardens both pot and my flowers, lol. I am desiging a room in my basement to veg these kick ass bubble gum mothers and make a ton of clones for the spring. I am thinking of selling my cabinet and stick to the outdoor grows. Not quite sure yet though cause I like to experiment with gardening.

Lacy said:

Yes I like to do the same Chiceh.
Gosh. I didn't know you had a little girl.
Awww!! Sweeet!!!! A mother too.

Yes Chiceh. I am doing the same thing.
I read your idea about putting about 100 clones outside. Good plan. I once had about 65 plants outside one year and it went really good. It rained every weekend this particular year and it was a great return.

I really like the out door grow. Its less work.
There are pros and cons to both indoor and outdoor grow but outdoor grow the lighting is free
plus nobody can prove they are yours.

Right now I am clearing space for my grow room. I think your idea of a grow room is a good one.
I love the cool cab BUT it does seem a bit small.
You could sell it and build something for a LOT less that would be just as good or better.


And Chiceh, I have some awesome ventilation plans that doesn't cost much at all.
NOTE: Maybe we could work on this together. Exchange plans and ideas.


I want to have a fair size one with perhaps a 1000 watt. I'm really excited about this 'cause I haven't grown indoor now for about 9 years.

I've heard the bubble gum is excellent. You'll have to give me the low down on all these different strains.

Plants that don't smell. You gotta tell me more about that one girl.

Chiceh said:

Hey Lacy, for what I am planning, I won't need any ventilation other than a fan. These girls don't smell at all during veg, crazy eh? I am going to run a 1000 watt after my cabinet is done. I can't run both. I got a spot in my basement where the rough in for a bathroom is (unfinished basement), going to tarp it up, build a simple counter for my clones, hang a flouro from the ceiling on chains. Once I clone, I will put a black plastic tarp up in the middle to make my 2 rooms. It will work great. Very inexpensive.

Thanks Philly. Yes. It is really exciting. Its not my 1st plant but the 1st I have grown in 3 years. I quit smoking for 3 years also and it was a drag.

I figure I will get about 2 pounds worth. So it will last me a long time. More time to cure it.

Lacy i know what your talking about when u say how excited u are. Weed is the only thing that really gets me excited anymore. When i was growing my first plant evertime i went to check on it, it was like opening presents on christmas when ur like 8 years old, its a good feeling. Sadly both the plants i grew so far died and i had to get rid of them, mostly becuz i didnt have the time or resources to take care of them good, and my lights were shit. Im gonna start growin again in about a year, and im really excited about that.

Lacy, about how much dry bud are u expecting on getting after u pick all the buds and dry them?? , and talking about the kind of high u get i like the same thing u do. I like the good feeling energetic high where ur not on the couch the whole time. But once in a while i like the lazy, sit on the couch for 2 hours high that u get with some weed, thats better for being in a dream like state and watching trippy movies and things.

you should flush your outdoor plants and let them know its time to be done..
