My first CXB 3590 run...

[PerroVerde]

I sure wish I had a female of Toney's strain. I'm a 1 plant scrog in a small tent guy and not sure how I would sex them before getting to the flower stage. Great postings Perro !

Thank you for checking in here @ChaosHunter . Depending on what part of the country your in that may be a possibility...

Week one in the books, seven days later. These are some happy girls, stretching and building nodes for bud sites. I have trimmed up the bottom of the girls a bit more then I usually do and I'm going to not use the reflectors as well. Not to much else going on so on withe the show...

 

[PerroVerde]

let us know when you get your dry weights and GPW figured out looks like a good haul

With everything dried, trimmed and wieghed out there was 24 zips of primo bud and a healthy hash pile of small buds and trim. That give this run 1.68 GPW or 2.24 ounces per square foot of flowering space. The hash pile was given a couple extra this round cause I'm making a big batch of infused coconut oil for my mom.

Thank you @Stonironi , I spent last night prepping and today trimming. I have a bunch of frosty trim and lower buds to make coconut oil with.

I heat the coconut oil to 210° and keep it there with a candy thermometer staying in the oil the whole time. I mash up all the dry trim, grind up the buds and mix them into the oil. I then mix in the dry sift if I have any. As the it all heats up bubbles start to form from decarboxylation and when the bubbles stop your done, about 45 minutes to an hour. I use a stainless steel strainer to take the bigger plant material from the oil and cheese cloth for the final filter. I have been told to only use Pyrex glass and stainless steel but I don't know if that's true...

I hope I get something like that lol but I might not as I'm pushing 850W in a 4x4... But if I get over a g/w I'll be pumped lol

Sounds like you have enough light for sure. I you have run the cultivar that you will be flowering out before I would say you a real good chance of hitting 2 units. How many plants will you have in your space?

4 in a 4x4, scrogged and even all the way around. Waiting for the stretch in the next week and just flipped to flower.. The clocks on and in 2 months we will see. Only thing is I'm running 4000k 70CRI, the next light I make will be 80-90 Cri 3000k or 2700K for sure.

If you run that low your plants will stretch to the ceiling. 3500k . It's the best . Stick with the best

Wait what? You mean running the 3000K? The 4000K isn't going to stretch to much.

Yes 3k or lower and they stretch bad !

 

[MeGaKiLlErMaN]

I'm watching @Rahz CRI comparison to pick my next ones. Right now they look to have better growth. Time will tell as well as yields/quality. That's important more so than picking the middle ground for veg/flower

I'm aiming more so for 3 but two would be Ok I suppose

My bad, 3 it is... I hate trimming 1.5, 3 would put me in the dirt... Lol

Sacrifices need to be made lol. I might need a trimmer and then touch it up after as needed.

Very true @MeGaKiLlErMaN ! @Greengenes707 can trim up a unit in 6 hours, me I can do about 3/4 of that in the same time. I need to build a trim bin light like @Growmau5 so I can see better what I'm doing...
