Holy shit old timer. Thats an impressive plant.

You really scrogged her to hell, All of a sudden in those pictures she got GIANT. I'm really very impressed by your results under a 400. A giant scrog in that closet of yours is probably PERFECT for that light.

Fuggin a, good job.

Thanks CB, I have no clue what happened must have been too baked at the time, :D

Gorilla, Thanks dude. That closet was 2.5' x 3' = 7.5sq feet, I got just under 1Lb of her. My new room's closet is 2.5' x 7' = 17.5sq feet So I'm hoping to over triple my results this time.

It was excellent smoke, a bit harsh but it had excellent fruity flavor and it was rather potent
