Broke out most of the medium and the roots looked fantastic. There was a 10-12" thick carpet like root system that I had to break into to get this out.

Then decided to have a little fun... can you see the face??

Long hair and beard...hahha
Then a shot at the main roots...

Budd look good and trim looks good! I bet you will do more defol during the next grow cause it will save you time off that 5.5 hours lol. Peace!

Looks great, long as the light isn't putting bunch of heat on your hanging bud I belive your good. Mine is hanging in room with 2 tents, and a t8 veg light. Temps in the low 70s. Your plants look great.

Well...weighed the first plants dried fruit and came out with 169 grams and it was really dry! I put a boveda pack in each jar and curing has now begun. Lets hope the harshness goes away and the taste comes back as it smelled but it is not too bad. Hung to dry for 6 days and was REALLY crispy when it was put into jars. Temps were 68-74 and humidity was 40-50 %. The others are going into jars after 3-4 days so not a crunchy. All a learning curve still.

some pictures as I know we all love them...

And then A for anarchy...

nice nugs cyb! wouldn't worry too much about overdrying them some. never cured a crop but been messing around improving cures on dispensary flowers with excellent success. as an example I picked up an oz of lemon cheesecake couple months ago. half out for smokin, other half in a jar to cure a month or so more. turned an already badass smoke into a whole nother animal! super funky face wrecker.
the only time I haven't been able to do this is when the flower comes to me absolutely bone dry. can't do anything more when that happens, the curing culture is dead.
pretty sure those beautiful nugs will be just fine!

Great job....each harvest will get better and better...
smoke up and enjoy!!

**NA420** · 03-12-2017, 01:23 PM

Looks awesome dude! The humidipacks will do their job, i stick a lil hygrometer in there and it reads spot on! Your curing area temp and RH are where they need to be and that helps keep the glass jars cool!

I thought the same thing on my last harvest and jarred them a day early. The humidity spiked to almost 75% (without a humidipack) so i learned my lesson. I popped the top for another day and they were fine just keep an eye on them daily. Peace!

while trimming i noticed something a little strange...seems like there are seed pods in the most dense buds of the second to last plant. i wonder if it is just part of the bud that i'm seeing. if in fact that is what it is that means i have a hermie. these are all clones from a female what would cause this to happen? i mean sure they had some stress in their lives but i need to find out so it does not happen again.

All bud calyxs look a little different..

**NA420** · 03-13-2017, 10:12 AM

Look for signs of an outer shell, or the classic pop noise during medication. Ive inspected my calyxes with the same curiosity and awe! So interesting to look at

**cyberaktif** · 03-13-2017, 09:00 PM

so are these bud material that i'm seeing? they look like a bunch of tiny tiny grapes, when i popped one open there was a little white speck in there. almost like an early seed but don't know for sure. getting bummed that all my hard work isn't going so well at the end... i need to learn from this but need to find out what caused it to herm in the first place (if it did) in order to advance with knowledge.

Hey cyberaktif, congrats on the great grow and the awesome set up! I also built my own room in an outdoor building that is 10 x12. Inside I only have one grow room, 6x12, the rest is kind of like a boiler room where my timers, ballasts, reservoir , etc. I'm about 4 weeks out from harvest, hoping it goes well. My post is under first grow, first forum.

i can't help with your last question as I'm gaining experience and knowledge everyday.

But, I've read your awesome post and wanted to add my 2 cents on controlling room temp. I have been able to control heat/humidity quite well, even during the winter when it's been snowing one day, raining the next! Living in eastern Canada so winter is a mixed bag! The quick and dirty was that I used two low powered inline fans placed in my boiler room to either push air from the boiler over my HPS lights and vented outside. If it was really cold out, I could easily switch the fans to pull cold fresh air from outside over the lights, heating the air slightly inside the boiler room then it was pulled into the grow room with an adjustable 400cfm fan and then the grow room was vented with another adjustable 400 cfm fan to keep fresh warm or cool air moving in the room. Most times I had one fan pulling fresh air in over one light, and the other was pushing air out over the light. This ment that the only time I needed a heater was at night when I would turn the air exchange almost off so that my space heater in the grow could keep thing warm. Sorry for the long ramble. If your interested, I can post some pics, I heard somewhere there worth a thousand words.

the lights I'm referring too are two 600w HPS lights.

Good morning Chowder ! Thanks for the compliments and nice words mister. Yeah this winter has been a really weird winter. One day cold as hell and snow, then the next warm and rain.
I have not gotten my room ventilation done just yet. I didn't want to be cutting holes and have the mess onto the plants and I was running out of room fast so made due with what I had. One of the problems that will surface with me pulling air from the barn in the winter is that it will be 0* to 30* air going into the lights. The problem with that is that the air will condensate like a bitch and corrode the electrical connections over time inside the lights. I plan on pulling air from inside the veg room (warmer than barn), through the lights in the bloom room, and back into the veg room in winter only with a filter. During the summer it will vent right outside and remove hot air from both the rooms. Each room will have an exhaust for air exchange and heat removal to try and maintain a certain temp. Was just waiting for this round to finish to resume work on the rooms. Almost all connections I used a tee so there are options later and just block off the ones that are not used.
I wasn't ready when these plants arrived. Yes please post pictures of your setup. Always looking for a better more efficient way to run everything. I'm thinking of running 600's instead of the 1000's on this next round. Really only wanted 4 plants max in there at one time.
