You sir are the man!!!! WOW. Gonna do another run?
Thanks guys! I'm shocked too 
There will maybe (chances are small though) be another run after this coming summer, and I'm thinking either grapefruit or some Mandala strain will be in it. Nirvana's Bubblelicious seems nice too, but I'm afraid it will smell too pungent/skunky.
If you have a suggestion on strain that doesn't smell like skunk, I'll be very happy to hear it!
Unfortunately, I dried the buds too much, so they're crispy and can be ground just with the fingers. I recently "smeared" some water onto the inside of the lids, and hope the buds will absorb some so that the curing will work anyway.
Green9: The white stuff in the scrubber is from a motor filter for vacuum cleaners.
Ran out of batteries in the camera when trying to get a nice bud shot. I wish you could see how frosty the buds are!
So here's what the 38 grams look like:
Peace!

Dont worry about them being to dry a few days in the jar and they will be fine they still have some moisture in them. Dont put anything in the jar I've lost a whole jar to mold before. It suuuucccks. Cant be much help on strain been ages since I did anything and back then I was big time into BOG's stuff. As for Nirvana I think they all smell like they fell straight out a skunks ass and it's lovely lol but hard to cover up. The exception was their white rhino which is lovely but stinky in its own right def worth growing out tho.

Hey pinstripe, you watered them with HESI bloom all the way through flowering, right? Do you think it was a good idea?
I'm currently using HESI Bloom + SuperVit every watering, still no sign of nuteburn. Think they were mighty underfed before I got the Hesi stuff a few weeks ago.
The harvest is great tho, hope I'll score a third of that with 108W CFL.

Good advice on the curing, DrGreenFingerz. I was actually about to put a lemon peel in there, but now I changed my mind. Not worth the risk.
615, yup, the only nutes I had was Hesi bloom complex. Let the plants completely feed off the soil until signs of deficiencies showed up, and that's where I slowly started feeding.
Seemed to work out well, but what I did was I added nutes every watering, and I don't think that's either good or needed.
There's a thread "Fertilizing Wizely" in the Mandala seeds section that you might wanna check out. Haven't read it myself but from what I've heard, there's some really useful info in there.
You know, when building this grow box, 15 grams was the all time goal that I'd try to achieve. So in my opinion anything close to 15 grams is awesome Dunno how much space you have, but I'm sure you'll get an ounce once you get dialed in.
Anyhow, remember most fun is in the process, not the result. Happy growing!

water is ok imo just not anything that can decompose because it heats up, and thats how the mold grows

Incredible grow, I've learned a lot about L.E.D.'s reading this thread. How do you think a hempy bucket would work in this type of grow?
oooooOOOO dammm thouse buds look really really dank. wow.

Un fucking believable. I registered here just so I could post how blown away I am at your haul. I just replaced 100 watts of cfl with 50 watts of DIY LED's in my server PC case at day 38 flower, so it's good to know what these can do. I'll be happy if I can get remotely close to what you were able to do.
I've got 8x Red 4.13 actual watts at ~140 lumens each and
2x Cool white 8.89 actual watts at ~880 lumens each for the added blue and other wavelengths
