Not problem bro, space really is a concern when trying to get higher yields, but 3oz per is very reasonable for a small grow.

Dood just shoot for the stars! I can get over ten easy with only 4 week veg. Just be mean to em they love it lol!
To paraphrase Spimps dad: it takes the same amount of time to grow huge colas as it does popcorn bud! Somethin like that lol.

LOL! I hear you brother, but 3 beasts like yours would never fit into my grow space. So, I sacrifice a little weight for some variety. That, and the fact that I'm still a noob, and prefer to learn at a measured pace ;-)

Ahh the wise young grass hopper has wisdom beyond the norm and is already on his own path! good for you buddy! They do say that variety is spice of life, so here's hoping for some lush exotic meds for you soon!

There are so many strains out there, I don't have the self constraint to only grow 1 plant at a time. LOL!

In other news... my microscope arrived today. We are officially on Amber Alert a.k.a. Defcon 5. Now I sound like a Ganja Geek.

Thanks Stealth!

I've just placed a fairly large order with Bonza Seeds. Should I just it here, or should I start a new thread?

I would start a new thread, I personally don't like joining or subing to threads that are 30, 40 or more pages in, takes to long to catch up. In this case your only on page 6, its up to you my friend, I'll follow the thread wherever you post it.
Nice strains though, looking forward to your journal.

D-DAY!!

So yesterday was the big chop. Plants went down after 71 days in 12/12, about 64 days in bloom. They spent the last 60 hours in total darkness. The calyxes on the PW really swelled up significantly in this period. So a few days of darkness at the end does actually pay off.

About the whole process...I just want to say... WHAT A MISSION!! :amazed: It took my brother and I about 3 hours. There is alot more than I initially thought. In fact, a lot more! The pictures don't really do the harvest justice. The entire 90 x 90 tent is almost full of bud.

Frosty big buds awesome. I think you should be entering nug of month soon!

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

Thanks man. I don't think they will be fair game for nug of the month though. No worries. Looks like I'm getting more than expected, so that is plenty prize enough.

By the way, I smoked a little of the PW. Much less than I would normally smoke, but I felt it in the head almost immediately. The body stone crept in about 15min later. I think a full hit would have been a knockout punch. We'll find out soon enough.

Did you get a wet weight of the harvest?

 

[TheBlaze]

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

No, I didn't even think of that. I was just glad all the pruning and tying and hanging was finally over.

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

Ha I feel your pain brotha Make sure to update us on the dry weights though

 

[TheBlaze]

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

I'll definitely do that. I checked on them this morning, and the nugs have shrunk quite a bit. So now I'm back to hoping for 100g.

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

May your nugs be as frosty as my mother in law is where I'm concerned LOL!!

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

From your lips to the weed god's ear. I'm starting to stress a little now. The usual shit... Am I going to get a decent yield... why do those buds there look so airy.... did I harvest too soon. Hahahaha!!!

 

[Light Addict]

re: TheBlaze's First Grow - Purple Wreck & Vanilla Kush - 400W HPS

I remember those feelings well myself buddy, Just have faith in your own accomplishments and rejoice that you aint buying street for a good while to come! It's simply a big happy weedified grin for you soon enough!

Well tomorrow I will smoke my first real sample. Then we will know for sure. All I really care about is the quality of the smoke. Hold thumbs...
