The box that we used for drying failed to be honest, it smoked great and gave a really nice high but smell and feel wise not so great lol Next time we're just going to hang it in a closet. Thanks mate, I think we did alright to say we were on a pretty tight budget for that first grow and to be honest they went through quite a lot of stress.
We are going to get a 600w with a cooltube pretty soon, the temp in the tent sometimes reaches upto 90F and thats with just a 400w it doesn't reach that temp very often so it's not too bad but with a 600w I think a cooltube will be needed.

Cant wait to hear how ur bud smokes and I wanna keep watching u grow Good Job Bro
also how much weight did u get dried? thanks bud
Thanks Dr
the strain was 'Ice' and they were vegged for 2 months. They were grown from seeds and were femanized. We decided to go with fem seeds for the first grow so that we didn't have to worry about males and could just use it to learn the process. The smoke is great and has a really nice high but like I said above we kinda messed up the drying stage and the smell/feel of the bud isn't all that great. From both plants we got a little over 5 ounce dry.
As for the White Widow, it was all kinda messed up really to start with. Without going into too much detail we had to move where the grow was taking place due to unforeseen circumstances and because at that time the 2 main plants were already in flowering and the White Widow were only just starting in veg we had nowhere to put them since we didn't want to just put them into a 12/12 cycle and were sadly left in a room and had to have just normal sunlight through a window until we had a place to put them.
That meant that they became very stretched in the process, however we actually got that problem resolved and now have a box that we built for vegging sitting next to the tent. Since they were so badly stretched and since they were regular seeds only 5 out of the 12 made it which in a way is a good thing even though it was a waste but I wouldn't really want to have more than 5 growing in the tent, there just wouldnt be enough room really.
I took a few pictures of them, aswell as a clone from each of the 2 Ice plants which are sitting in the vegging box which still needs a little work doing to it. The light in the vegging box is actually closer to the plants than in the picture, the light was just raised a bit while we were doing something in there.
3/5 have been fimmed because I wanted to have a go at it after reading T4's GJ lol we left 2 of them as normal so we could see the difference.
They are on 6th week of flowering.
