very nice indeed! I have a few questions if you have time:
1.) Did you get that yield without using CO2? I saw your setup in the beginning of this thread and didn't see any CO2 tanks. Those buds are huge for this small of a plant. What are your general thoughts/opinions on CO2 usage?
2.) Why don't you just start your seeds into the 3 gallon grow bags instead of transplanting them?
3.) PLEASE describe your drying/curing process a little. I see that you simply mention that you do 24 hours with a continuous fan blowing on them, then 12 hours in a brown bag, then into the jars! Is that it?
Thanks,

Thanks,
I Had co2 going for the first couple weeks of the grow, but it got to expensive and became a pain because i had to swap my tank out every week. So I used inline fan 24hrs a day pulling in fresh air from outside, which gave me a good enough amount of co2.
I use small pots to start because they drink up your solution faster in a small pot so you can feed them at a more rapid rate. For me I seem to get a faster grow rate then just starting them in a 3gal bag. When flushing or watering you want to have plenty of water/nutrients running through the bottom drainage holes so you know your plants roots are totally saturated. I was told good runoff helps prevent your roots from haveing a nutrient lockup. It also helps because your using less nutrients while the plants are small in a small pot because it takes less water to soak it.
I hang my plants upside down in a dark closet for anywhere between 1-4 days. I keep a small fan oscilating on low to keep good air circulation. After 24hrs I check to see if anythings fully dried such as some of the small side nugz. From there I put them in brown paper bags for a day or 2. Then on to the curing jars. I check my jars every day because they start to get some moisture back when they are in the jars. If they become moist I put them back into paper bags until they are fully dried again. Some like they're bud a little moist, but i prefer a nice fully dried and fully cured nugz, which can take 3-4wks of going into the jars. Just make sure you check your nugz for moisture when they're in jars you dont want bud mold.
