Very nice man. She looks great. I trimmed for 10 hours yesterday so I hate MMJ right now...
From about half way through yesterday. I think I used up all my pandora radio.

Im having a hard time believing ill get 1gpw off these two 315w cmh.
Thats 11.11 oz per plant and ive never gotten more than 8oz per plant. And that was nicely scrogged.

I almost always get 28 oz out of that 4x8 tent with those 2 600w lights. I'm hoping for more this time, but I doubt I'll make 2 lbs. At 28oz, that's .6g/w. I'm sure it would be better with the same wattage with more space and better lights. They get really crowded in there for only 6 plants and I'm only harvesting the top of the canopy. Everything below usually goes into the hash bin.
Your plants look really nice though. I think we are limiting the flower production with the smaller bucket sizes we are using. My roots fill up those 5 gal buckets pretty quick I've noticed. I just got some 8gal square buckets to see if a larger root volume will give larger flowers up top. I wanted to go the 13gal route, but didn't want to buy a bigger chiller.
Since I just keep it all for myself, I don't really care about yield anymore, just as long as it's delicious and the best I can do. I only smoke maybe 2 oz per month, and am going perpetual, so now I'm getting creative with what to do with all the leftover. What strain is that? Is that the fruity chronic cookies?

Girl scout cookie haze from connosieur genetics.
Decent bud development so far. Nearing the end if week 3.
The fruity chronic cookies are actually coming along nicely.
Chopped Dank#5 last night. Was gonna wait till this weekend but having a clamboil Sunday. Saturday I have a wedding. Need to finish an AutoCAD final by Friday and fit out my kayak cart with new tires possibly today or tomorrow.

After all these plants are harvested im going to give RDWC a try and use the chiller thats been sitting for 9 months unused.

Gonna veg 6 more plants starting in 5 weeks when my main flower room is done. Veg in the rdwc under 600w MH and then once the CMH grow finishes (probably week 2 of veg) ill move two to the CMH flower room and continue veg in both rooms. until big enough for flip. By then hopefully Ill have a new flower light. Either 600w DE or 860w all start.
Can the all start be used in the phantom CMH hood? Was thinking I could get another adapter and fit out the blockbuster with a horizontal 315w CMH and use the vertical phantom CMH for the allstart. Sure the spread would be shitty. Maybe ill jist sell the xtrasun for like 30 dollars and buy an OG

But yeah @blackforest the rdwc has 27gal totes. Probably hold 20 gal of water. I cannot wait to make the switch. I suspect ill have much more stable pH and EC and healthier plants as a result.
Got my feed and ratios on point now. Different than what @ttystikk gave me but it works for me and plants never been healthier.
Not sure how much learning curve there will be from dwc. Dont expect much difficulty but im growing a supply right now to last me if I have issues.

I'm interested in your ratios? Do share!

0.9EC 5-11-26 mix (about 6 or 7oz...2-2.33oz per gal) 1.28oz per gallon is what you told me to use for 2g/gallon at a 100:1 stock.
0.3EC CaNO3 (this is about 1.33g per gallon) I put 4g in 3gal bucket.
0.1EC MgSO4
0.2EC MKP
1.66EC with my 0.16EC water.
Im experimenting with 0.8EC mix and 0.3EC CaNO3 with a plant thats showing N deficiency.
Havent worked out the elemental ppms as thats not my strong suit. Though they do have a calculator online somewhere.

It did stretch a lot. Ill post some pictures tonight and do a full update.

The EC thing is strange for me. Can you do those in grams per gallon, or liter?

I'm working on it my friend. I don't like bho, but live rosin is pretty good. I'm just going to collect a bunch of keif and create a dye and press it with heat.

I don't think there is a learning curve to be honest because rdwc is basically just one big dwc. Super easy to change out and re-fill and I would think a larger volume would be more stable too. Literally building my new one this weekend. Exciting times!

0.5g/gal MgSO4 (for veg and flower)
0.5g/gal MKP (starting week 3)
1.33g/gal CaNO3 (for veg and flower)
3.125g/gal 5-11-26 mix (if i use 6oz of mix)
1.28x3 gal used = 3.84oz.
6oz/3.84oz = 1.5625 multiplier x 2g/gal = 3.125g/gal

Interesting that you run so little calcium nitrate. You don't get N or calcium deficiencies?

seems like it would be fairly easy to build a rosin press. cheap-o hydraulic press from harbor freight. not sure about the heat part. maybe 2 clothes irons taken apart and attached to the press? i saw one on craigslist new for like $1300. seemed way too much for what you get.
