Wow. What a shitty yield. I ended up with 7.1g total. Sucks that I couldn't let it go longer. Mother plant is still alive, but in bad shape. I'm going to give it to a friend who is in the position to build a grow box and buy an HPS light.
It's a very potent, very enjoyable smoke, so hopefully he can work some "grow pot the right way" magic and get a decent harvest with this plant. I'll be sure to send him here for any questions. I'm going to teach him what I know (which isn't all that much) and I know he will do a TON of reading cuz he's a very smart guy. Hopefully we'll be seeing a "lasereyes plant take 2" thread sometime soon.

I would ignore that site honestly, it's full of bullshit.
My favorite line so far (before I gave up after getting a headache from the crap) was "You must use a greenlight when transplanting". :sigh: seems like people will buy into anything.

I agree. That site is full of garbage, bullshit information! I think this was pointed out in another previous thread before.
It should be titled "How NOT to Grow Weed"

Not giving up, just not in a situation to keep growing. My landlord is a cool guy and was fine with the grow... Until other people in the building started asking him if he thought it smelled like pot. Plus I'm going to be moving soon and I doubt I'd be fortunate enough to have another landlord as cool as him. I'd do a dresser growbox with a carbon scrubber if a) I could afford it and b) had room for it. But I don't have either one

Alright, here's pics of the buds after being cured 5-6 weeks in a jar. This is about 3/4-1/2 of total harvest. They aren't as dense as they could be but do the job quite well. Pics were touched up with Lightroom.

site! sorry, had to do that. I read a couple of random sentences in that page:
Quote:
A nice test is to drop the seeds on a hot frying pan. If they "CRACK," they are probably good for planting purposes.
The seeds should be soaked in distilled water overnight before planting. BE SURE to plant in the ground with the pointy end UP. Plant about 1/2" deep.
Anyone ever use this frying pan trick? Does that not destroy the seed? I've read that many places. I dont know what so difficult about germing them. Put them with the pointy tip (I presume he means the rootlet) UP is not recommended. that root tip grows down then other roots start to grow in all directions from that one. pointing it up would require it to work extra hard to get aimed downward into the earth, causing some unneeded stress on the infant.

Hey FurrowedBrow, for the sake of the Growery and all the noobs here trying to learn how to grow, PLEASE stop posting the Greenmans link. That site is full of worthess, garbage information and is probably the most USELESS site on the net for growing information. It should be titled "HOW NOT TO GROW WEED."
The author of that site should be hung from the Growery gallows.

I quoted it and corrected it in one particular instance. If people read what has been written in here then they will know it's a bogus site. I'm not in the wrong for quoting.

Don't take it the wrong way Furrowed. I know you know better. The fact that you had to correct the one sentence you quoted is testament to the god awful info on that site. However you DID say that it may "help...to learn" from. About the only thing that site will help you with is failure.
It wasn't meant to be a shot at you or anything but I cringe every time I see that link.
