Poppinsmokey's first grow - CFL's

Lookin good rope smoker! Those things are going to explode when you put them into flower. Make sure you've got plently of light. Good luck buddy!

My dog (an 80 pound chocolate lab) ate a huge bud one time and he was runnin into walls and walkin wobbly. It was pretty funny, but i was also worried. In the end he was fine, but we became much more careful where we left our stash.

He also ate a 20 dollar bill once.

I made a batch of pot butter one time. A coupla freinds and I where making some pumkin bead with it and gave my husky like a pat of butter. We ate some and sat around smoking when the wife got home She asked what was wrong with the dog. about that time He stood up, eyes rolling around in his head and pissed right there with out trying to move to the door. Well the wife started crying and the more she cryed the more we all laughed she was pissed at me for a while. And my dog woldn't take any food from my hand for a long time, I felt bad later but at the time it was some funny shit!
We ate the pumkin bread the next night at a party and every body was spinning out! one guy not even drinking but smoking alot went out side and pucked. Damn that was a good batch of butter!peace man

Ugh, that reminds me of my last batch of brownies that were made a tad strong. Me and my buddies were on the porch and it looked like the episode of Family Guy were they all drink ipecac to see who vomits last. Funny chit for sure!

can someone help me with how to set up as in wire cfl ficture in a box i dont know how to wire this or my fans plases help

Hey guys these pictures are a day or so old. I took them with the intent of posting them right away, but I'm sure you guys can relate to not getting around to it. Of course it may have something to do with me harvesting about 15 dry grams ( with another 1/8th or so hanging) and being a little more baked than usual . It is so dry around here right now, and with the price I can justify taking some a little early.

This strain (PPP) typically takes 8 - 10 weeks to finish once put on 12/12 with 56 days being the standard that most growers abide by. 56 days flowering would be this Friday (just two days away!!!). I started stealing bud from these plants at about 5 1/2 weeks of flowering. I don't know if it will show up in the pictures or not, but the buds have really swollen in the past 10 days. It's kind of hard to capture with a camera without a reference point, but I tried. I guess what I'm trying to say, is don't harvest early if you don't have to, because the bud you take is not 1/2 as good as it is going to get.

OK, so it has been about 7 days since they got any water and that was a flush. I was anticipating chopping them this weekend. I'm thinking they could use a little more time; what do you guys think? I hope you all enjoy the pictures. I'll try to get some more shots through the microscope today or tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: No I didn't fim, top, or lst. I will likely be trying these techniques on my next cfl grow.

Looking so fat and sticky!Looking very tasty poppinsmokey, nice job man!peace man

omg, its a pure inspiration, those buds look soo tasty and fat! how many cfl's you got running on them at this point? beautiful job tho man

wow...its ridiculous the difference the lights make. with mine growing on only 23w cfls, all of my buds are significantly smaller. looks great man

very nice grow, what was your total dry weight?

I don't even have enough space in my grow box for all of those cfl's.. you guys think i can get away with growing two smaller with less lights?

Thanks for answering my question. I smoked a tiny bud off my plant today, which was my first taste of self-grown ever. So awesome!

damn nice ! i like those plant

dont forget to remove big leaf the cola will stick on each other, and when the leaf is yellow, remove them, they are useless and grab juice.

i like what i see

fuckin' sweeeeeeet dude.keep it green. Cheetah

I have 12 42 watt CFLs that includes 9 2700K and 3 6500K. I haven't harvested yet, but I have taken about 19 dry grams off these plants. I'm going to pull the bad leaves today and make the decision on whether or not to harvest tomorrow or flush one more time based on the trichs and any advice I can gather over at harvesting and curing. Thank you for all the kind words!

Moose I don't know how much smaller I could have kept these plants without scrog, lst, etc. These plants were flowered at about 4 inches tall. They are both about 2 feet now. The great thing about this hobby is that there aren't too many rules. If you have an idea, or need an idea to fit your limitations; you can do it, and you will likely get some good smoke.

My original plan was to harvest on Friday, 4/4. I posted a question in Harvesting and Curing, and was advised to wait 5 -10 more days. One plant is about 5 days ahead of the other one. The most recent mini-harvest (4.5 dry grams) is some of the best bud I've ever smoked. I've smoked it with a few people and they all want to know where the hell I picked this up. Of course I didn't let them know I picked it up in my closet !

Including the most recent theft from girls, I have harvested 23.5 dry grams. I would not normally do this, but the herb situation locally has been terrible. I can tell you guys that the difference between the bud I took a couple of weeks ago and the most recent buds is like night and day. To be honest, I was worried about the quality of my herb based on earlier buds. The increase in fatness, dankness, sweetness, and potency over the course of 10 days is trully phenomenal. Don't harvest early unless it is absolutely neccessary!

So instead of harvesting on Friday, which was exactly 8 weeks of flowering; I decided to flush them one last time instead. They were really dry. It had been 9 days since they last got any water. Thanks to all that have dropped by and offered kind words and advice! Give me a few days and I'll have some nice harvest pics. I will probably harvest one plant a few days ahead of the other.

In the mean time, enjoy the photos!

is there a specific name for those fixtures that hold the lights
