Hey!!!!
You take that back!!
Thats a high quality plant there. JK. I guess they all look fairly similar, grown properly. Its not till all is said and done, you can really tell. It is really starting to stink in there.
The nevilles is over 3 ft now, and is squished into a corner, otherwise it could take a whole square meter.
The widow, she is going well. End of week 3, she's about the same height as the cpk, and buds are getting big. The widow fits her allotted space much better than the others
She got too big. At 33 days, the cpk had so much bud weight, it started tipping, well 1 cola actually landed on another plant. I have it propped against a wall now, should have staked her.
Its starting to stink in there. I got new pics, but can't upload. I gotta use someone elses computer, so it may be a couple days yet.

Yeah, Im pretty much talking to myself here.
Its ok, I like keeping a journal. Its good for learning
And, I still can't upload pics.
no one else seems to have these technical difficulties.
Well, anyway...
All is going well in the land of cannabia
The purps has grown far too heavy. Last night it had gone completely horizontal under its own weight. I wrapped a piece of bonsai wire around the whole thing and tied it to the wall.
The haze is not nearly so dense, although it has more colas, and is 38'' tall, so I would believe it has about the same weight. Many of its ( 10) colas are pressed against a wall, or other object, as it is a bully and if allowed would have taken over the entire space. A lot more popcorn on that one, too.
The widow is at the end of the 3rd week. She is still maintained her shape, which I appreciate. She is peeking a little taller than the purp, with 4 colas, and several large stalks coming from there. I wouldn't call them colas, but she is going to be very dense. Internodal length is about 2'',
I decided to sample the purps a couple days ago, since it is starting week 6 today. I thought it was week 7, but mostly because I was out
The little unripened nug I cut from the bottom, and "quick" dried by cutting to shreds as if I were to smoke it, then set out for 24 hours got me lit up.
I took 3 hits from an improvised soda can pipe, and almost fell asleep sitting up, with the can in hand. This is a strong plant, although I'm starting to doubt its lineage as being a purple strain, but I think I remember reading somewhere that in order to express this gene, the temps have to be fairly low, and I honestly don't know how the temps are looking in there.
I have a thermometer in the room, but I usually check on them within an hour or two of the light coming on. It is never hot, and I have opened it early in the morning a couple times.
I can hold my hand almost touching the lamp, and the plants are growing healthy, that is good enough for me

Hey 
Someone does read these, though sometimes finding them is the trick ... here it popped to the top of the list and here I am reading.
Question: Does your friend grow too? Seems like a lot of risk to be taking for $25/month and even if they do grow you're plants would be in their counts if something bad happened.
Not my problem, but seems mighty generous of them to give you space under those terms.
Nice grow!

They get weed out of it. And I pay the power bill- dunno if I said that earlier or not
We have very generous laws around here.
He won't do any time, IF they raid him.
But, I see no reason why they would, I only got busted b/c I was a murder suspect
I had 7 completely illegal plants, when I was raided, got nothing. Could have been a misdemeanor.
He MAY end up with a M1 conviction. That's nothing, I have several of those, and have never been a problem.
I mis spoke earlier btw... They are weeks 4 and 6. Not 3 and 5

Fair enough. I forget not everywhere is oppressive as where I am
I'll keep watching if you keep posting!

Thanks.
And...btw I am no longer under investigation for murder.
I am completely innocent on that note
It was my infant daughter. I woke up to a nightmare, and the police treated us like criminals. Any respect I had for LEO went out the window after that.
On a lighter note...
I gave the girls their last round of ferts last night.
I have a feeling the nevilles is not going to produce as much as the smaller purple plant, although the nevilles could probably go a couple more weeks before harvest.
It wasn't showing preflowers when I switched to 12/12, while the purp was.
They are supposed to both be 8 week strains, but I have read that the fast nevilles haze can take a full 10 weeks to mature, which would be more reasonable.
The purps is gonna be tricky, I should have staked it. Right now I have it bound up with wires to hold it ~mostly~ upright. The tops are still falling over, and while I don't suspect that is bad in and of itself, I fear that it will snap under the weight.
From what I am told the buds double in the final week, and my current setup will not hold it that long.
I have taken pictures every time I start a new week, and give ferts.
I will get those up, some of them, at least. I will probably wait until I cut them down to put up pics, since I am not sure how I am going to get the pics to upload. I will work it out...

I'm very sorry about your daughter, that's terrible. That LEO made it worse is inexcusable.
Awesome with the grow. Can't wait to see the final weight/pics!

I have decide the Haze will not be ready for at least 2 more weeks.
The purp has become so large it is attempting suicide.
I now have the main branches paperclipped to the walls, and they are still trying to fall over.
The colas on that plant are as big as my fist, and much more smaller branched have been exposed since the tops fell over and knocked everything out of place. I'm counting at least 2 oz off her. Today was the projected harvest date, but examining the trichs, I don't think I will be chopping tonight. I can't quite tell, but they appear to be just turning milky. I need a better scope, the 30x barely shows them, makes it hard to tell if they are clear or white. But no amber to speak of.

Chopped down the purp on sunday.
I probably could have gone a bit longer, it was just starting to go purple, but too heavy, I had to chop before she came apart.
I spent literally ALL day trimming.
The head buds weighed in at 7 oz alone, with probably close to that in the rest of the bud, plus plenty of popcorn. That's wet weight btw...
One bud is the size of my fore arm
I will post pics as soon as I can figure out how.
Now, the widow is falling apart. It has at least 2 more weeks, so she is gonna have to get tied up like the last one.
I will be investing in stakes, next round.
The Haze is just disappointing, it still isn't very full, and I see no trichs on the hairs( is that a sativa thing maybe?)

One plant has been harvested, and dried.
I guess it is as cured as its gonna get as well.
Its been in a jar for 3 days now, and no sweating has occurred.
And the scale (cheap hand scale that reads a nickel as 4 grams) reads 98 grams
So...if the 20 % loss is continuous, that brings me to a mind blowing 122 grams.
I also have a nice big pile of A+ trim, at least a zip
This is, nicely manicured, with very little leaf remaining, and absolutely any excess stem cut away.
Either 98 or 122 grams, is well over expectations. To recap, it was a 2 foot tall plant, ~ 1 sq ft grow area. I had 3 colas, and a mess of smaller branches.
Wanna post pics, but can't upload.
Anyone got a good photo server i could use?
The haze is still disappointing, The pistils literally have no trichs to speak of, and the density is far less than my cpk i just harvested. I hope thats just how sativa rolls, the leaves have crystals. I am expecting a good pull from her as well, she is pretty much enormous. She has a week left and its cutting time.
The widow is looking nice, too with 3 weeks left. She has had to be tied up, since the other plant was removed she started falling over, Cant have that, now.
I really gotta get some stakes.

ok here's my pics at harvest, a little bit of overlay with the headbuds.
It seems I was a bit too quick at jarring them, This would explain my incredibly high yield. I had to sample yesterday, couldn't even get it lit. Too bad my taste testers didn't tell me all this. apparently they had made spliffs.
They have laid oout another 24 hours, and will probably remain another day, before I call them dry, this time I'll be crumbling a bud, though

So, I smoked too much of this to give a true finished weight.
It looks like over an oz, and I have gone through 1.5 So, still pretty good.
The haze plant is going to be an unintentional experiment.
Trimming is slow and painful. I have decided It will not be nicely manicured, as there is just too damn much leaf.
I have been cutting branches, and spending a couple hours each day since Sunday trimming her. I still have a full days work ahead of me when I get a day off.
So, I will have a weeks worth of variation on the ripeness
