its the size of the space really.... a 4x4 it might be do'able ....... even then a 4oo just don't grow em dense enough....... wouldn't put it past one of the hydro guys tho

Yes about a pound may be a lofty estimation. How many of us haven't made lofty estimations? Only to be a little disappointed when them suckers shrivel up to about half the size when they are dried. Then put em on the scale and be like waaaaaaaaaaaaas?

Anyway, that's a lotta good looking bud. And most certainly the majority of us fall well short of being the best grower on the RIU. I would just congratulate ole boy and let it be. It is what it is! Looking good to me.
 
How are you controlling the humidity in your grow environment, especially at night when it increases significantly? You might want to check a bit closer for mildew:

need a wider angle shot for a good eyeballin but im gonna say just shy of 11oz max. probably closer to a hp. looks a a little fluff, to pull a pound off 8 sqft is gonna require some density or vertical height and it doesnt look like theres much below the canopy. looks good tho, just doesnt look like an elbo.

what does the closest geusstimate win?
 
16.8 Oz. Let me Know what I win. Lol
Looks awesome.
Opening my 2x4 back up after a long hiatus. Not in my wildest dreams did it look like yours. If I get the heat figured out im shooting for 600 w.
may I ask what method of training you are using.
 
Maybe my dreams are a little wild but idk shit looks crazy I really can't believe how good it is honestly I'm amazed every time I see it lol I use 2 petite Eva dry plugin dehumidifiers and the house stays at 76° constant and humidity is 49% rh. This is a 2x4x5 tent with a 240 cfm inline fan and then another exhaust fan in ceiling of closet that has a 454cfm inline fan with a carbon filter on it. I'm using canna Terra and do a feed, feed, plain water schedule. And its only a 400 I couldn't get the heat below 90° when i tested the 600 and 78° with the 400 and I've grown in extreme heat with a 600 and buds were so fluffy it wasnt even worth it. I'm just glad if i pull over HP honestly but looks easily more but wont know till its dried an weighed I just want to see what everyone thinks it'll be and winner gets some free seeds from when i bred this plant lol idk if anyone wants them but bud is bomb can't lie

what's in the pics that you magnified I didn't see any mold on any bud and have had mold before so know what it looks like and humidity never gets over 50 and so much air movement I would really doubt mold anyways

LOL bro sounds like you had some. Sweet AINT it. Feeling the goodness of your grow. Knowing you did well. Fuck the numbers bro. It's all about the chill man. Good job.
 
Right I'm just happy this is my first grow where I didn't fuck up lol my last couple were horrible but I studied before this grow and went with what I thought was the best for the space given and 7g smart pots were perfect fit and everything just came together and I used the canna nutes for first time and love em plus used the fox farm trio additives for flower and never got any nute burn

Hey Bro, everyone's dreams are their own, Dream big. Having had a couple grows in this cab with just a 150hps and pulled a couple grows over a QP. But averaged about 2 bags of premo every three months. I played around with it today ice water and a fan big (enough the plant placement would be an engineering marvel) at 300w all to no avail.
Next: Bigger fans and cut some bigger holes. I want all 600w in this baby and I am committed to not using a cool tube. Gotta hurry though. With the low headroom im wanting to start with short plants,
Thanks for the info on your setup,,,,,,,,keep up the good work and... be true to your dreams

The 240 is connected to air ducting with a tube attached that is directly in front of light and pulls hear off the light. The big one pulls air out of the closet into attic and has carbon filter on it
 
Nice setup here's some new pics I did chop a couple to see diff in highs but 90% is still on there growing lol and I put a pic of how I ghetto rigged my bat wing to help keep heat down the tube is like 3" away from bulb but fan is strong enough to pull the air over it fast enough to keep it cool. Some up close shots of the buds too

I never got stable below 86.4 and 29% yesterday. at 300w. I'm thinking of cutting a hole to raise the light above the shelf and adding another exhaust and intake just for it. But that would make the light fixed position and that's not really a viable option. I guess Im off to source some bigger fans. I hate the idea of a cool tube robbing light quality.
 
Agreed which is why I made a ghetto one but my 240cfm only truly kept the tent cool once I put the 454 in the ceiling to exhaust the hot air. You gotta get rid of the hot air your pulling out of the tent or your temps will never drop low enough
 
Brother that's not ghetto, we call that red neckin around here. lol Some of my best working things cant be bought. THANKS for the idea. you can see the upper exhaust in the pic it will be easier to run the duct something like you have than cutting the hole. I cant wait to see what I come up with.
Kudos : that's some nice looking bud. looks like its thickening up......it wont be long now.
