3 lbs a light publication

[coughphee.connoiseur]

I'm on my third run with it... have done the 20 day defoliation today. I was making a timelapse but the damn camera couldn't handle multiple gigabyte movies and kept crashing after about 5-6 days so I gave up.

In a nutshell it can hurt yields if not done properly but done well the yields and quality are great (1900g from 1200w of COBs on the last run and I'm still figuring it out as I didn't actually buy the book). The timing of the defoliation is strain dependent IMO. You need plants vegged longer before you flip to flower than if you were not defoliating. You also need to be selective about defoliating the smaller fan leaves. I think I have it sussed out but I can't say for sure until this run is done.

Give me 4 weeks and I'll post up some finished pics.

Before and after 20 day defoliation pics attached... (excuse the small plant in the front Right, it wasn't ready but I had a space to fill so it got flowered anyway)

@loftygoals is that wet or dry weight?

And to anyone and everyone commenting and contributing to this thread are we talking dry or wet weight?

I always state dry weight.

 

[714steadyeddie]

G-13, Blue Dream, Blue Mango and a bunch of personal crosses. 12, 9 liter pots of coir in a 4x4. 25 day veg under MH, 63 days of flower under a 600 HPS. Feeds between 1 to 4 per day depending on size, nutrient strengths between 350-400ppm.
Really that only comes to about 1.4 grams per watt, so it's not like it's an outrages number.

There's no way you hit 2lbs of dry product

Dry. I don't bother weighing before the buds are dried, trimmed and jarred.

this one dried to just at 2lbs, and it was the smaller of the two last run...

That's with a couple of plants removed for a better shot.

Right now i'm going for 3 lbs with a 5x5 with a gavita 600-750de ran at 825 to see if i can produce the same as a 1,000 watter se

Holy fuck dude!!!!! Is this a DE run? Those are the blues? Looking absolutely beautiful!!!!! Look at the color of those!!!!!!!

 

[BobCajun]

Maximum yield is usually around 45 g/sq ft. 3 lb in 25 sq ft would be almost 55 g/sq ft. Seems unlikely that would be possible. More like 2.5 lbs max. You see a lot of growers mention how many grams per watt they get, but if you calculate it out by square footage it will come back to about 45 g/sq ft. That's exactly what I got last time, 200 g from a 3'x1.5' space. Work it out, 200 divided by 4.5 sq ft = 44.44 g/sq ft.

No, single ended 600 watt hortilux.

I looked at this girl and thought lb for sure but nope 212 grams dried before cure. It was about 6'

That's going by canopy space, think of it in 3D , or i have 16sq.ft of canopy but 30" of penetrating depth. I can get 720 grams from my 4x4 with 10 plants in the room

With 600 watts?

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

how do you cram 10 plants in a 4x4? guess i like to grow shrubs, be lucky to fit 6 of my plants in a 4x4 when they're in full flower

 

[jarvild]

yes, 600 watts. Tutorials coming after the first of the year soon as I get my rooms rebuilt.

I usually do 12 , 4 rows of 3. 9 liter square pots, cola dominant plants as shown in my post. Dr. Greenthumbs G-13 after around 6 years of cloning clones of clones. no mother plant.

what about when one adds a scrog/trelis? that adds to sq ft yes?

Well she is pretty deficient in some areas it seems ..... so she didn't reach her full potential. She may have well produced 448 or close... did she receive enough sunlight? Any clue of the DLI she received ?

By the way not bagging on u at all .... very rarely do i see a complete in-deficient plant from seed/clone to harvest.
