Strips vs cobs grow

...well, I tried
No, you did good.
So if anyone is interested still I have at least some preliminary numbers on what 270 watts of strips can do.
I did half of the plants last Wednesday and the other half Saturday. Total for the ones done Wednesday totaled 270.7 grams. And I'll expect at least a 20 gram weight loss through the curing process.

The one from Saturday are still hanging and I'll get those numbers and totals out Sunday evening If anyone is still interested.

are the ones in the tupperware bowl wet?20 gram shrinkage out of 270 from wet seems low.or are you saying you got 270 grams already dried?
from both pics together looks about 10 ounces dry to me,about 5 or 6 each

that tupperware bowl looks kinda deep so i say about 9 to 10 ounces dry in that container if they are all the way dry,but still depending how dense they are.the ones hanging looks like its around 6.
so roughly a pound from under a 270,Not bad at all.

That's 9 days into the dry and ready to jar for the curing process, I'll lose a little more with burping that's where the 20 grams less comes from. Even if what's left gets me 100 grams I'm still well over the gpw mark.

Now if you ask me if I'm happy with that mark, then no, because I know I can do better on the next run in progress.

What's in that Tupperware looks to be about 8 to 9 ounces.
Hard to judge from the angle of the tupperwar

So the totals are in.
6 plants flowered under 270 wall watts covering 12 sq ft of floor area.

Totals are slightly over 527 grams for the harvest excluding 10 grams of larf and around 10 grams lost to bud rot in the dense's cola on the single Cherry Lemonade plant. So we are looking at 18 ounces of buds after 9 days drying time or 1.9 grams per watt.
These were vegged for 21 days from rooted cuttings.
Questions, comments bring it on and I'll do my best to answer them.

Left is 9 lmc561c samsung 3K strips powered by a HLG240H-24B with 70 watts of supplemental diodes.
Right is lmc561c samsung strips mixed spectrum 3, 3.5k powered by another HLG240H-24B.

And if anyone cares read through any of my post to see if I claim to have the best lighting out there, whether it's LEDs , HPS or any other of my lighting systems. All I do is show what a experienced grower can accomplish under said lighting in the hopes that others can reach there potential goals. Not proclaim one lighting source or type of lighting is better than the other, they are all just tools in our arsenal to achieve our goals.
Do you see a difference with the supplemental diodes? There appears to be a difference, but may be strain, angle, lighting or all of em.

Sorry lights on time and nutrient mixing got me away for a few.
As far as with supplemental lighting in the mix the judgement is still not quite clear yet at least for me. I'll probably ditch the uv's and do the next round with just photo reds, reds, fer reds and IR. Really don't notice much difference it trich quality or production from the use of UV. This next run, which comes down later this week will be my deciding factor. These are grown under strips alone with no supplementation.
