So I decided to cut down just the top colas of the last plant and a whoppng 450 grams wet ...the other plants were 500 total.




Huge dense buds


And I still have this left:

 
How do you dry the buds once you cut them off..
Is there a special way,did I see moisture packets in one of your jars
I stopped smoking weed till my plants are ready:rofl

I hang them in a multi-tiered mesh drying thing in the garage @ 50 humidity for 5-7 days and then jar for curing with 62% humidity packs. I open them once a day for about a month and then cure opening occasionally until appropriate dry/cure.

With just the two 3x3 trays, the space you're looking at is basically the same as growing in a 4x8 tent. This is only my second time growing in here and the first time was with a buddy and we did four 3x3 trays and it was effing packed and miserable to work in. Right now it's fairly pleasant to work in there. I was able to get around the back and adjust the spacing of the lights.
 
What kind of soil you use,I hear the fox farms soil is pretty good I’m using the black gold organic at the minute

Miracle grow soil made my plant leafs all spotty I repotted them all to the black gold

Fox Farms is great, either the Ocean Forest or Happy Frog are the common ones. My understanding the Ocean Forest is a little hotter on nutes. I've used Happy Frog and had no issues. I'm using Royal Gold Tuper and it's just a coco mix. It's nice because it dries out fast, which you may or may not want. If you want lower maintenance with less frequent water/feed, you'll use soil because it'll hold moisture for longer, but if you want more growth, then you want as many wet/dry cycles as you can get because that cycle brings oxygen to the roots and boosts growth.
 
Well this is my 2 bigger plants as of today,






Nice and frosty god knows how long these are going to take:laughing
Must be the longest grow in history..
 
Yeah too late now. Its pretty easy, moreso with mykos and rooting gel.
 
I think you were saying cured and trimmed ends up about 1/4? So over a half lb from that one plant?

Roughly maybe less but still a lot more than expected.

My power bill was crazy last month so I may take a few weeks off before starting again.
 
Yeah I'm a little worried about that too, running 800w at 18/6 with a big dehu, but at least no A/C.
