heya, i'm totally exhausted and stoned as well, it's 3:11 in the morning and i'm finally done with everything except cleaning up the mess and posting this update

katie, my first own grow, was put into an 45l aquafarm at 11.02.2015, had the chance to grow for 26 days and finally got into bloom at 11.28.2015, was cut down 02.20.2016 after 84 Days into Bloom, i'll miss you and will always remember my first girl, you showed me how much fun and stress growing can be

of course i took some pics during her final hours, even if i hadn't cared for more detailed pics yet ... too tired, but i'll get some more shots when i'm doing some final cuts but let's get started

forgot to took one before it was too late, my bad
that's her after everything was cut away

Her roots, after 30 min of dripping they had a net weight of 3.5kg

you can see the water indicator and external rez outlet, a part of the nutes got stuck there as a brown slimy stuff at the roots:

i cut the block with a ceramic knife and found several different areas within,
areas with virtually no stuff, middle affecter and totally clogged depending on the water flow through the root system. the whole roots and every part smelled like wet soil and there was no foul odor at all. with a little showering the goo was removed and they were a little bit stained but very nice to watch

but now to the harvest pics. that's what my 3 mates and me got after over 4 hours of hard work and a lot of smoking.
the rough trimmings are in the china in the background, the fine trimmings out separate bowls ... hadn't cared haw much there is yet

and now some nasty closeups i took in total privacy, all alone with her after i was left with the following mess to take care off ...
i tried to match the crops the actual pics but i'm not 100% sure i'll get them all correct assigned but now smoke a little one and then ...... enjoy

When i prepared them for the drying net, i took some especially nice looking buds and separated them from the rest of the pack for another 'private' shooting and placed them next to each other on a backing tray, but only thought while taking the last pic to add something as a reference point, but still you might get a good guess

the final amount of 1373g wet buds and an unknown amount of trimmings is at the moment in the tent on my dry rack at 20°C 60%RH at the outlet and ~45-50% at those tasty buds.
now the last 2 pics for today, i'm totally done by now as it's 4:10, but my hopes for the outcome of my first grow literally exploded in my face and that kept me awake and helped uploading those pics for like eternity .... and the smell ...

will take a little time out and then in 2 month start with one of her two siblings i still have, trying again and do it better with all the stuff i learned by now
might join the bud of the month contest with one or two of these
but now
i'm done with the grow and in the dry phase now

and need to go to bed

thanks for staying with me my first grow and hope you enjoyed it
