    Hey guys and gals
    So I harvested my girl and just wanted to report back what the results were. This was my first grow and twas a little bit saddening as two of my plants were stolen. I had three different strains, two of them in the ground, so huge and bushy and happy, but you can read about that here http://forum.grasscity.com/outdoor-marijuana-growing/1110041-time-year.html
    If you are interested. After the two were stolen, I took my potted plant indoor in a make shift grow room I put together quickly and grabbed a 250w setup and just figured something would be better than nothing.

    Well the results. A branch or two herm’d on me and the plant was just not shaped for a 250w light after branching out naturally growing outside its whole life. However it was decently far into flowering when I took it inside and surprisingly the buds filled out decently, just took them forever to “finish”. The buds look alright but it seemed they were on such a better path if it had stayed outside. Just don’t think the full potential was able to come out the final weeks being inside.

    I ended up getting just shy of 5.5 oz of dried KYskunks (it was unknown bagseed so I named it). I know now that had I harvested the plants that were stolen I would have easily had over a a lb, no question about it. My trim buddy and me cut em down in the morning and did most of the big trimming and hung them in my basement with a dehumidifier and fan sucking air off of them. Kept them drying at 70 degrees and about 50-60% humidity. After a few days we did the shape up trimming and placed them on a rack for another two days.

    Have had them in jars for about week, some of them a little bit longer and have been burping the jars on schedule. Just recently started to be able to smell the weed transitioning over the drying bud smell and it has a great sweet odor. The look of the bud doesn’t give the high and smell and taste credit. Even fresh it tasted a little citrusy, sweet although it was harsh and had some chlorophyll taste.

    It was an indica dominant plant and was harvested right when the trichs turned and resulted in a good strong body high that isn’t overwhelming and gives a little bit of a I wanna do something rather than sit here effect. I’m pretty happy with the overall quality.

    I should add that we had plenty of trim to make about two grams of hash and a super potent batch of dem fruity pebble krispy treatzzzzz. Not to mention we probably smoked a quarter of the weed before it ever made it into jars :)

    Now that I got some indoor equipment I’m going to set up for a single plant dwc hydro scrog, or a two plant soil after I make some amendments to that room. Need to seal it up, figure out exhaust and line it was some mylar.

    Oh yea and on harvest day I found out I’m going to be a father. Unplanned pregnancy with my girlfriend and she waited till I harvested my plant and was cutting it up because she knew I wouldn’t be as mad as normal scenario. Haha, kinda scared out of my mind but a little excited too. She said I can keep growing as long as it is in a locked up room in the basement so I guess it gives me incentive to get the room up and going.

    Thanks for reading my long post, I ate a krispy treatzzz and smoked a bowl of hash roughly an hr ago :smoking:
    Love to hear any comments, advice for next grow, suggestions, anything. Thanks guys, this community is dope, I don’t post a lot but I read a good amount and have found answers to so many questions and learned so much just crawling around the forums. PEACE DAWGS

  2. Wow dude, congrats and congrats again! Get your room set up, get yourself ready for the most wild ride of your life! Having treats and smokables around will most definitely help you when you have a kid. My daughter just turned 7 and she is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I am a single dad... Oh, the herb looks good too, glad you managed to salvage something, I hate getting jacked like that.
     
  3. I'm so happy for you! From my perspective, there couldn't be a better day than harvesting and getting some great news like that. It may be an unexpected pregnancy, but hopefully it's still a wanted one. And the growing skills you are learning can help you supper your family later on. Or at least save you money on buying buds. Good luck with the family and the next grow.

    Do you plan on doing outdoor again next season?
