@Madge, ok I see 😅 And I agree it’s gonna be hard to find bamboos under the snow 😄😄😄

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Couldn't find anything much local. Most of the stores have put away the gardening supplies. I'm in a small town with a foot of snow on the ground. Most people aren't gardening right now! ;)

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I agree, BUT I really wanted to be able to lift the pots to check for weight (while watering) and I wanted to be able to switch the plants around / rotate them to the light so that was the best I could come up with. I still have two to finish, ran out of string yesterday while the stores were all closed.

@Ripper, I never did see any more of them. I really couldn't identify them as any of the common crop pests so I will chock it up as an abnormality. Thanks for checking in though! Props.

Looking lovely buddy :D

Very nice, Congratulations on your first harvest! Great Job.

Had a little hissie fit today when I saw those bugs, but I think I'm calm now... ;)

Looks awesome! I just weighted my CKS NL Auto yesterday and was 316g wet (with stems) and 58 try and after a second trim job. Congrats on yours. Now I am wondering if I over dried mine... I moved it curing jars now.

@Sillyasswhitedude,Thank you! Yep, last night was tempting to pull the second one! LOL but she managed to make it through without the crazy guy cutting into her! So much restraint is needed. I know I need to do the right thing here and let her go longer. BTW, I am using a cheap $20 USB microscope off ebay/amazon. Nothing fancy but it is perfect for taking snaps of the trichomes. Yep, holidays are great, that reminds me, maybe I should go get a glass of some eggnog or apple cider.

@Sillyasswhitedude, thanks, I apreciate that you took this much time to reply. yes I realize I probably cut her early. I was impatient and wanted to try it so bad not feeling it anymore for the second plant. I am watching the second one closely to understand how it fills out. (I learn by trying) I added a second 315W CMH to the room yesterday. The table is now 3 feet x 7 feet so each 315W covers a 3x3.5 area. I think this works well now and am not worried about light coverage. I figured about 8 plants at a time in this space. I agree I really need to cull the lot. 16 plants that are in there will be reduced to no more than 8 once I decide which ones to keep. I talk about this in more depth in my other grow.

when you start to see that color change your looking for here are some tips fellow grower: 1 it comes during the end of your plants life cycle 2 it is your plant cannabilizing (eating) itself...3 as the plant consumes its own leaves it absorbs the nutrients from them 4 it then puts that energy in the final swelling of the buds...flushing is crucial in bringing about this process fellow grower...I think your first plant was cut a lil early as the cannibal stage had just begun...even though your second plant may not look like it has as much as the first one did if you hold out and do a proper flush and let them buds swell you may end up with denser buds and thus more weight...and the first one you cut could have been even more too...I know having a small cramped space can be over whelming trying to raise center or lower/balance them all to get light to them...and also having to feed each one separate can be time consuming to...but you only robb your plant of its full potiential and your self better quality smoke by harvesting early...look ahead on your next grow...everything in your tent your cant support through the next run scrap it...I have a 2x4 space and have learned...no more than 2 or 3 plants...and even with 3 it becomes a side show act real fast...just a little honest friendly helpful adivice that I hope helps you along...and remember flushing/cannabilazation is the most important part...Happy Holidays!!!

Nice photography and good job on the macro shots too...I look forward to seeing more from you...
