Today I shut the lights and they will all come down in 36 hrs. I have some so unbelievable news that all of those who have followed this grow or stumble across it will learn of something an tell your friends and laugh forever. Today I went to move the hung Blueberry from the closet and into jars when I noticed a box that seemed very out of place to me. I opened the box and inside was my 1000 watt lighting kit? Qua da faq? The look on my face closely matched this follwed by then telling news to girlfriend I was given and I then got mad about it and proceeded to
My genius self hung the 400 watt ballast, light and cool tube without ever noticing IT WAS MY 400 WATT LIGHT. IT TOOK 112 DAYS TO NOTICE THIS
This has to be why they were taking forever and making me question life and the "seed to finish" reputation. In other news, my 1000 watt will be up when the new beans come in. I can't believe I've overlooked this.
(Day 124)
It's the final cutdown!!!
Every tree but one blueberry runt is cut down, trimmed up, hung down, trim is deying and my feet are dying. Haha.
What an incredible day, (as I ate a nug of each) the blueberry has a watermelon jolly rancher taste, the pineapple has a very cherry flavor, and the autobomb tastes like a grape off the vine.haha. I got 1.3grams of scissor hash that will be used in the rig tonight. I left half of each plant semi-trimmed as I wanted to pass them over a screen when they are dried. Overall very nice calyxes to leaf ratio on the pineapple express and Auto Bomb but the Blueberry was every leaf from stem to fan had crystals on it so every leaf of that is staying in a jar. Its just over 36 linear feet of line used to hang it all up. Thank you all for viewing and hopefully enjoyed the thread. In a months time I will do a smoking report in this thread to keep everything together. But here is the photos of the hang and photo of them from First week to Last day in the soil. Enjoy as much as I have
Meant it literally, took two calyxes of each. It's a tradition of something passed to me by a grower friend who passed away. I've tasted some nasty ones, these are the best tasting I've made yet, and aside from his grows. Mine were always just vegetable taste never fruit like this.
You should have seen my reaction. It happens to the best of us...err the worst of us stoners sometimes.
I had 15 plants with total weight being 10.6 ounces (296 grams)
I pulled .75 grams per watt. Not too shabby for first legit room grow and without anyone giving a hand. I will be ramling up the actual 1k light and have the 400 going at the same time. Shooting for 30 plants to start in the next month. Giggity-giggty.
Little update for you folks, that 40 Liter tub I had filled with photo period plants had rout bound and went into the double bucket annnd root bound again so now they will go in a 40 gallon tote to finish.
From this to this (almost 2 months time)
They are doing beautifully, lights have been flipped and they are entering week 3 12/12 and have stopped stretching and now putting on some hair all the way to the bottom of the scrog.
Off picture is 2 oscillating fans and the cool tube is fine as the room stays at a sweet 68 degrees and one of the fans pass a breeze by the tube once every 6 seconds. They are getting great food and loving the room. Can't wait to kick off the next diary. Will have that started 1/15 so keep an eye out for it. Here's a picture of them from last week.
