Jim, thats a really impressive grow!

Would you mind roughly describing your topping schedule? How early did you top, and how often? I'm on my first grow and just a bit scared to cut bits off my little plants! :tongue:

Ummm crap

Ummm crap

Can anyone give any advice to the current situation... i am going on vacation
for christmas, on a plane so no medicine.

If i leave december 16th when should i be planning harvest (i dont want to
do too soon because these babies still have 8" or so left to fill up)

After the initial 7 day dry when is it safe to freeze my buds? Assuming the
worst i am looking at 1 week drying, one week burping, but then what?

If left home they will go moldy, is freezing an option ? Will i be abe to thaw
after three weeks and continue the cure? I seem to have the oddest issues
and i cant find answers! Post pics in a bit... in the meantime suggestions
please! :joint:

Days 68, 39 Flower

Days 68, 39 Flower


Pics of both plants front and top (not much difference in height but the buds
have begun to fill in in the past few days, especially in my front plant.)


Pic on the left is of the Bagseed at DAY68 now and the pistils are beginning
to turn orange, trichs remain clear/cloudy... still waiting to flush this plant.
Pic on the right is of the back portion of the screen or my sourdieselxbubblegum
plant. Havent really thought much of it but yellowing leaf tips pictured on
this plant... is this normal for some plants to do in flowering? Its spiradic
about the plant and only affects the leaf tips on the sour diesel plant (in areas)

Some strains require more or less nutes etc due to different genetics. Might be a bit of nute burn but doesn't look too bad. Maybe just ease up a tiny bit?
Thing is you're pretty far through flowering so not sure if it's worth worrying about.


As for your problem above my friend, I've frozen buds after a week of hanging and then defrosted them a few weeks later and cured in a jar with no ill effects.

Ease up on the nutes? Sounds good. :joint:

Thanks for the reply about freezing my buds after dry also.
I have taken a sample to hang dry in a cardboard box (i dont like the way my microwave samples taste.)

Harvest Countdown Begins (part 1)!!!

Harvest Countdown Begins (part 1)!!!

Im thinking soonish, rkrone, it has been just about 70 days since i started
12/12, no amber trichs yet but if i started now i figure come day 84 ill be
seeing signs of ripening... i dont want to wait too long and not get a good
flush. Also sooner i get the bagseed plant out ofthe way i can do some last
minute retraining of the SDxBG plant to get the light penetration i need to
lower budsites. :joint:

So yeah the plan is to drain the resvoir tonight and replace it with fresh
water (ph'ed of course.) Harvest in 10-14 (cant wait :D)

(if you cant tell by the smileys im quite excited)

hehe always feels good when you get to this stage - I'm thinking of starting up my new grow maybe in the next week or two, I'll pop in and let you know how I go Jim. Was thinking maybe a couple of pc cases and some lowryder, we'll see.

Day73/Day5 Flush============================================

exciting! still no amber trichs...

Day43=====================================================

Couple crummy pics of the SDxBG i am beginning to think the browing is due
to ph im balance (i just started using new water)

PH? Well find out in few hours...

PH? Well find out in few hours...

Its pretty amazing i have gotten this far without the test/balance kit, i gotta
get it today and a new ONA block.


The situation is as follows, the front plant (bagseed) is NOT affected by the
new water or whatever the issue, however the back plant (SDxBG clone)
leaves just keep turning yellow BUT only on the surface of the canopy)... in
the middle of the plant alot of the foliage is still perfectly green and healthy.
Despite all the yellow in those pics its only less than half of the one plant
reacting this way. Buds seem to be growing still, so its not a total loss
(maybe its a super pot plant that sheds its fan leaves upon ripening, damn
these genetics these days, haha)

I would grow with soil but DWC is so damn cool. :D

Yayyyyyy, my account finally got created! Sorry to post jack here I've just been trying to post in this thread for like a week now. I've been following this thread very closely and you have inspired me to attempt a scrog grow. Originally I was thinking of doing a autoflowering grow (masterlow to be precise) but there aren't too many of those seeds around right now and I have some different seeds from a buddy (durban poison x ak-47 x bubbleberry). Reading your post has made me realize that I could use those seeds with a scrog grow and you illustrate the step by step. Many compliments on your fine endeavors and I'm always really excited to see your updates.

yo who dat is welcome to icmag... glad you like the setup. What kinda setup
do you have (feel free to post pictures of whatever you got and any questions)
those durban poison x ak-47 x bubbleberry seeds sound pretty sweet man. I
wish you the best of luck Scrog makes things so easy. :D
be sure to keep me up to date.
