Day 62 -- Little Cheese Squared has been Reduced!...
Hey AFN,
Well I returned from my weekend away to find that one of my nearly finished Little Cheese have been stolen. I figure, based on what my roommates have said, that it must've happened on Saturday. Only a handful of people knew the whereabouts of my plants, and four of them I live with and have known for a long time...But I unfortunately live in an area that is crawling with students, and also junkies (with the methadone clinic up the road)....I figure that it must've happened at night, and it must have been a single person without a vehicle (otherwise they'd have stolen all my plants instead of simply lugging away a single 6gallon pot)...Unless cannabis thieves are known to be sympathetic?
In any case...It's water under the bridge and all I can do now is make the most of what I have. I'm pretty upset because I feel like I put some serious time and effort in tying them and taking care of them as best as I could.....But ultimately it's a drop in the bucket once I can get a more efficient grow space going as a future home-owner (however that will not be for a long time...)
The attached pics are where I'm at now. I inspected the other plant for bugs, and crushed a very docile baby potato bug, then constructed a make-shift enclosure out of cardboard, mylar sleeping blanket, and some thumb-tacks. I put my shitty little hood atop my main cola of the plant and am hoping this will suffice to get them through the next couple weeks --- UNLESS you guys suggest that I chop it instead?
I also took apart my desk lamp which is proofed for 100w and plugged in another small 26W (2700k) CFL to give some side lighting.
Please let me know how my setup is looking, and if it will suffice for a couple more weeks. How long do you guys think I should leave 'em? They're starting to get some orange hairs, but aren't completely covered. I was thinking I'd like to aggressively fertilize over the next couple weeks, then flush a couple times and chop 'em up. After this, because of my limited space, I might look into micro-growing.
Sorry for the rant folks! I kinda feel like I lost a friend or a pet or something...LOL...and feel like I cannot trust ANYONE....
Time to pop over to the GF's house for a brownie and some playstation to ease my woes...
Stay cool and stay green AFN! Thank you for reading!

Ended up chopping down the Little Cheese. I left it hang up for around 5 days (room was around 55%RH) and it seemed to dry out pretty quickly.
I smoked some when it was pretty wet, and it was still delicious. I've been smoking a little bit everyday since it's been drying and it keeps getting better.
I just popped my buds into the curing jar with a big ol' clunky hygrometer -- the jar is staying around 65% RH.
I'd say my yield from one plant is around the 22 gram mark. I'm happy with that considering Little Cheese is advertised at producing 15-20g, and my conditions weren't exactly optimal!
Critical Jack is looking nice inside beneath CFLs (I'll get pics up soon).
Sorry for the poor camera quality.
