My first grow - journal w/ pics

[artymac]

Absolute first class photos "ZBeebs", you should make a calander out of them. Sensational...porn for plants.

Just salivating over them plants again "ZBeebs".....but i couldn't help but notice that, that bottle of ultra "Purex" pops up in the back ground of many of your shots... is this that 'product placement' thing i've been hearin' about? ....and if so, how much are they payin' you?
Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

I will be spending the afternoon getting the plants into jars. The exile is done, 43 grams jarred, and just about as much trim and lower buds that will be turned into beautiful sticky bho. The VK I have trimmed so far has had a very sweet, flowery fragrance, but when I started trimming the exile a definite spiciness that is very different than the VK is apparent. Looking forward to smoking this one...

So, running total is now 167 grams dried. Will update today as I weigh and jar. It might take a while, I plan on many smoke breaks...

[ZBeebs]

The Vanilla Kush plant with the cola that was toppling over is now in jars. 72 grams total from that one plant! I've also got another big pile of lower buds/trimming for bho...

Total dried weight is now 239 grams, with three plants left to go.

EDIT: This is NOT the one that was toppling over, that one had been jarred already. This was just a different one, I believe the one in the back left of the tent.

[ZBeebs]

Rocklock is now jarred, 39 grams. 278 grams total, almost ten ounces, two plants left.

I'm definitely going to break 300 grams, but not 400 like I had hoped, unless the pineapple express is a really big yielder...The Vanilla Kush that's left looks pretty small...

I'm taking a break, going out for something to eat...

...I'm taking a break, going out for something to eat...

Well earned.

[ZBeebs]

Instead of going out for food, I smoked, then started trimming some more. I've got 62 grams of the pineapple express in jars, with more to go, and now I have no choice but to stop. I'm out of jars.

[ZBeebs]

Went out and ate a really good burger, got some more jars and did another errand or two...

Just finished trimming the pineapple express...and just a bit over 102 grams!

This plant was shortest of them all, but gave the densest nugs. The nicest looking plant too. Id grow this one again, just for ease and yield for its size.

This puts me at 380 grams dried and in jars, with one more plant to go!

[ZBeebs]

Didn't make 400, only got 16 grams out of the last plant...total 396 grams. I got tired of trimming and ended up with most of the buds in the bho pile...most of the buds were airy, not worth smoking.

Not too impressed with Vanilla Kush...3 of 5 plants turned out like shit...all the other single seeds turned out better than those three...

[SkinAnother]

So you were a couple of good bong hits off of your target, bloody good going!

[Boner]

Yeah thats pretty good going for your first attempt, half a gram per watt of light is an average weight so you've busted that, congrats.

[Cal X]

Agreed!

[Cisco]

And considering you used smaller buds etc for BHO i would say you have defo hit 400G well done dude

[Uncle Ron]

So, 396gms, plus other samples along the way(?), what else is there to say - good job. Thanks for sharing your grow experience with us.
Now that the dirty part is done, time to let the bud stew. What is your criterion for deciding when the gear is cured sufficiently?
I'm looking forward to reading your epilogue, if you decide to write one.

Happy farming...

Are we going to see a photo in the jar
