[mcloadie]

Thanks for your opinions. Ive got a different pair of eyes to look at them trichs(my misses). She reckons theyve got a while yet. I chopped a bud off to get a good look and Im quick drying it to get a smoke tonight. Theres no rush Ive still got smoke, might be another few days to a week. Ill post back after Ive tried it.
Thanks again for your help guys, this ones turning out to be quite tricky. Never had a problem before judging ripeness.
Therell be a good amount of pics of the chop etc... Stay tuned.

I'm right at the same place with one DD, I'm watchin close.......NO AMBER YET!

Smoke report.
Been trippin my tits off the past 2 days. Its very strong but a bit too spacey. Definately needs a bit longer. Makes the misses horney

Hiyah all,
Im so fu**ing busy I havent had time sorry. Theyre ready, 60%cloudy 30%amber 10%clear yipee problem is I havent got time to harvest them. Crazy. Theyll just haveto wait till friday night. Some photos as of now

took this one as the light kicked in.

will document the harvest on friday and post it up as soon as I can.
Just got my Royal Queen Seeds OG Kush Feminized seeds in the post gonna do two of those one blueberry white and one somango critical this time. Gotta improve the grow box in between. Probably have to make a temporary home for them to start out. Cant wait.

Yes dutch they are looking awsome!! Some fat colas there, nice colours too.

Know what you mean about bein busy mate, constantly tired myself from working 6/7 days, slave and good things come mate.

 

[dutch dragon]

Ive done it, last night, took bloody ages. Done prity well I reckon considering it being an experiment to see what this 250 hps can do on its own, as a comparison to my led cfl previous grow, gpw. Cant wait for the results of that when I weigh um dry. Its been a nice little grow with a few problems, but on the whole I think quite a success. Learned loads again. Anyway the pics.

Roots.

Bare Roots
Not happy with the roots this time. Most of the soil in the pot was not used. There were only plenty of fibrous roots touching the pot and the mass of soil in between the pot and the three litre pot root mass was almost like out of the bag. Gotta get that sorted. Roots = buds. Im a very happy boy
Still got the dry weights to come. And a GPW against the led cfl grow. Grow shop tommorow to get some soil and stuff. Hope I can pick up something useful.
Take it easy people. Thanks for coming along for the ride with me.

Congrats on your grow dutch!! looking like some awesome smoke from where im sitting! take it the og kush fem is a little look inside the next grow? Can't wait for final numbers bud! CA

 

[dutch dragon]

Thanks Ca, Yeah I was shocked to find og kush fem seeds as I thought it was a clone only sort. Hered everyone raveing about it on here, so Ive gotta give it a go. putting seeds in paper towels later on so Ill be starting a new journal soon. This time with the right title. I changed to hps on this grow but still have the title led,cfl. OOps. Yours are looking mental frosty there Ca. Wont be long.

 

[dutch dragon]

Ok people, dry weights are in.
The Big One = 41 grams
The Middle Sized One = 27.5 grams
Short Ass = 32.5 grams
Total of 101 grams from 3 plants with 250 watts.

250 watt hps = .40 grams per watt
490 watt led cfl combo = .21 grams per watt

There it is people. Hps is twice as affective as cfl led while using half the electricity. The buds were also faster with hps by a week and a half. Hps with cool tube was max 26.5C, cfls ran at max 32C.

So my advice to someone weighing up the pros and cons of cfl or hps is that hps has no cons and cfls, whilst a lot of people worship them, they do work, but at the cost of half your weed. The hps costs initialy a couple of bucks more, but the reduced electricity bill more than makes up for this in your first grow.

Im realy impressed by the results of this hps system and I will be using it in combination with the ufo on the next round.

Its been a nice experience to share my grow with all you 420ers, and Id like to thank all of you for showing an interest.

Ill be back to this journal when Ive started my next grow to leave a signature link to my next journal. Hope you all enjoyed the ride.
Later.
Dutch

 

[JB42]

Yeah Dutch , congrats on harvest mate.

Good HPS CFL comparison. I used to use cfl but since the HID came into my life, never again. Your spot on with heat, electricity and speed. CFL good for early veg or seedling not much else.

You putting up and dry bud pics.

 

[dutch dragon]

Heres a couple of pics for you JB. Sorry, cant get any closer with my kodak.

Got my grow box stripped apart here in the living room. Installed anti detection foil reflective film. Finaly Im getting round to putting a solid back on it All needs a bloody good clean.

 

[JB42]

Hiyah Ca,
My computer went up in a puff of smoke so Ive been arranging a new one. Got it all running sweet now. Got some new girls on the go so Ill have a new journal soon enough, just gotta find the time. Also the bud is sooooooo strong that Im wasted in the evening. Put the kids to bed by eight thirty, have a cup of coffee and a joint and Im on another planet. Im gonna haveto grow some less potent weed one of these days
Will post with new sig by the weekend, girls are doing fine. The seedling stage is prity boring anyway but they'll soon kick off and then Ill have something to post.
Like your outdoor girls CA.
