First Outdoor Harvest

Well, outdoors/indoors, but mostly outdoors.

I started growing these on a whim with no research done, halfway through I decided I wanted to get serious with growing, so these became kind of just a test or experiment for my actual grow coming up.

Anyways, my first mistake was a had 5 plants in one 3 gallon pot. I planted some in the ground nearby as well, but eventually I had to harvest those early because of security reasons with the location. I think this really hurt yield as I'm sure those roots were getting tangled. My second mistake was I didn't get rid of the males soon enough, which there were only 2 and both happened to be planted in the ground, so all my females were pollinated. This is not so bad, because I have about 50 seeds now.

When I harvested the plants in the ground, these plants were moved inside under CFLs for 2 weeks. I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of this bud, you can't tell from the pics but there are a good amount of trichomes covering them, and they smell pretty dank too. These look a lot better than the buds I had to harvest 2 weeks early; the time they had under the lights really helped make them more dense, the pistils finally turned, and I have milky trichomes now. This is good news, because the buds I harvested early were still good so I know now that they are actually ready these will smoke good.

My only camera is on laptop, so sorry for shitty photos. Can't wait to finish drying and curing, starting my 1st all-indoor grow by Christmas. :sifone:

 

Ooh those are some sexy buds man!! Good job!

 

if you brought them inside, I suggest you get rid of the dirt they came with,.. Bugs looking for a nice winter home have already made their way inside with the dirt you brought in..

nice job otherwise..

 

not bad for your first time

 

not too bad mang! looks like ya got some smoke to hold ya over for a lil' while!

 

Thanks everyone. The only money I spent was on 6 - 26w CFLs and 2 bathroom light bars, a total of about $20 I think. So I'd say it was a pretty good turnout for the effort and money put in, which was almost none. Ended up with 2 ounces now that it's dried and cured, solid mids, perfect for blunts and bongs.

 

nice harvest for the first run man props.

 

that's really good for the first time. they look yummy

 

congratulations on your first harvest!
