I am not great grower lets get that out first.
In a 4x4 with a 600 watt I NEVER broke a pound, usually like 12oz or less honestly even though it looked like more till dried.
In my 2x4 first run I pulled 16.85 oz with 376 watts

Interesting. My first run with cmh 315 second half of flower and cob lifjt first half inoukked half a pound off of one plant dry. Then two more autos under the t5 two zips each. So that's my comparison. The vert grow I got killed with bugs and being away too long so jist got a qp of one plant. Third run the GG run that never flowered and now here we go. Figured fuck it it's like a reset let's get two clones and see what happens

My second run with cobs was bug ridden, and yielded under or close to 10 zips, but I pulled it 2 weeks early
I ran 4 Blue Dream, and 2 Clemenine
2 of the plants yielded under an ounce, 1 of each I think. There were definitely problems with that grow. My current grow I flowered early because I am low on smoke, and good thing as OD was snatched.

First round of pulling tops today! Hit some marionberry and sour d, then after lunch here we're gonna top a big city lights, a few chocolate mint og, and a blue dream. These are plants that are ready now, we'll slowly creep up to full time harvesting soon enough.
We'll do 3 rounds of harvesting per plant, letting secondary stuff ripen up a bit I think it makes a difference.

Likely some serious callouses and/or blisters from hand trimming by hand with that field of dreams Who calls his backyard!

I'm correcting myself. I have plants that are 8" from the ushio bulb without burn....open hood with good ac and fan.12" to 18 18" with an unvented hood.
Hold the back of your hand under the light. If it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for your plant.

Yep; the trim will be used to make BHO
Last time it turned into a bueatiful golden sap with the best high i've ever had; and i got 16% return off the trim.
Needsless to say I was very happy.
I used Teripinator for that grow; if I get consideratbly under 16% return off my trim this time around i'll probably re-visit that product
Unfortunately I can't find any of the BHO from the last run.
---------------------------------------------------------
I've been on my winemaking/brewing game pretty ham lately; everything i've been making has turned out amazing. This craft is tedious as fuck; but very rewarding
Hefe-weizen (original recipe)
Citrus IPA (original recipe)
Blueberry Pinot Noir (winexpert island mist kit)- The kits turn out absolutly amazing. The Island Mist kits get you about 32 bottles for ~$90 (including the bottles themsevles which cost like $1 a piece).
I would pay $15/bottle for these; i paid about $2.80 a bottle to make them.
These kits are the shit. They take like 6 weeks from start to finish; unlike a lot of wines that take 6-24 months.
They are only 6.5%abv; but next time I make them i'll prime them up to 10-11%abv. Aparently upping the ABV by ~4% doesnt change flavor much; these go down like soda. Complete crowd pleasers. To up them to 10-11%abv you would just add ~4lbs of corn sugar at the beginning of fermentation
I ran out of green bottles while bottling; so I had to use some clear ones. I think the clear ones look better in general; but the guy at the brew show said to use green bottles for red wines. I'm pretty sure if I keep them in the dark it doesnt matter- but I havent had time to learn a bunch about why wine bottle color is important. Once I do i'll make science decisions instead of go with general consensus lol
Brunello di montalcino; this was a $170 kit (+ bottles/corks) and i messed up and lost ~2 gallons. The wine is amazing though; but won't be prime for about 6 months. These are Sangiovese grapes grown in Montalcino Italy. This is one of the highest regarded wine styles in italy. In this region the Sangiovese grapes apparently ripen very evenly which is why they make great wine. I hope mine does the grape justice. You usally cant find a bottle of Brunello for under $30; most are $50-120

Yeah I used to work at a hydro/brewing shop. I got a brunello kit and a pinot Gris kit at a sharp discount (although they were both top quality). I really didnt know shit about wine when I worked there; I mostly worked on the grow side hah.
I'm very happy the wine expert there pointed me towards the Brunello and the Pinot Gris (slightly different than pinot grigo; but made with the same grape). Once i've perfecting the hobby i'll probably drop $170 for another Brunello kit and make sure I do it justice
The Pinot Noir/blueberry is defenitly a dessert wine. Very sweet. The type of wine that people who don't like wine will absolutly love hah.
^"Island Mist" kits are fucking amazing if you don't know shit about making wine. https://www.homebrewsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=island mist
They finish in 4-6 weeks and they taste amazing. 6.5 gallons of wine for a $50 kit + some re-usable supplies + 3x12 packs of bottles.
^I strongly suggest everybody tries making these. They have won a lot of blind taste test awards against some very prestigious makers. The $50 price tag doesnt make them cheap; it makes them a steal hah
------------------------------------------------
-6.5 gallon primay fermenting bucket with lid/ airlock ($20)
-6.5 gallon glass carboy ($35-40)
-Auto siphon ($15)
-Star-san no-rinse sanitizer (I get the $20 bottle cuz it will last a loooong time)
-Stirring spoon ($5)
-bottling bucket/bottling rod ($25)
-Hydrometer and beaker ($15) - this measures the density of your water; lets u know how much sugar is in it
-------------------------------------------------
^This is all of the re-usable equipment you need; i maybe left a thing or two out. Once you get this stuff you can make wine or beer with it.
