Really looking forward to flowering (eight 288s + four 96s + far red bar) vs (six 96s + far red bar).

Just finishing up grow with the 288 array above - 776w at the wall:

Big “diesel” (back left) and haze (back right) lowers not yet harvested:

0E60684C-C254-425E-9DE7-EE8D0A7B5FAD.jpeg

Front “diesel” - 270.5g/9.7oz
Front haze - 304.0g/10.9oz
Back “diesel” tops - 386.5g/13.8oz
Back haze tops - 413.0g/14.75

Total so far: 1374g/49.1oz/3.1lbs

Still to go:

How long you veg those for?
I don’t keep log book, just track on these threads. Specific info is somewhere on the grow thread, but something close to this:

Seed to 6 nodes/1st topping - 30 days
3 toppings for 8 mains - 21-30 days
Vertical to 12:12 ht -14-28 days

Dug up some info on this grow:
1st topping for 2 mains - July 1
3rd topping for 8 mains - July 18
12-12 (delayed 10-14 days by previous grow) - August 25.

So, 56 days 1st topping to 12:12.

Today is day 92 of flowering, approx 178 days seed to today for long flowering sativas...i’m looking forward to this grow being over...288 vs 96 smackdown will be with shorter flowering strains....hopefully!

3.5-4.0...pfamazin!

How’d yours go, got a vid comin out?
No harvest video. Did post a video of the next grow coming up. Been drying in the garage. Need to start trimming it up, getting buds off and curing. I don’t plan on doing a real trim but more of a quick trim to get the crap off that I won’t even really use. I’ve been trying to read if curing untrimmed bud is ok.

I think you want to get any green without trichs off...imo, the more green off the better the cure, but at some point, you start taking off too much sugar...especially if you’re not concentrating the trim...

Quick dumb question. The 22" spacing for the 2 Qb 96's, is that center to center or edge of heatsink to edge of heatsink. Probably will be going back to hodepo in a minute. Smh I already cut the damn alu angle,most likely too short.
Cut it at 26.5" and didn't think about it until AFTER it was cut.

I’ve posted several sets of pics for two currently flowering grows. Both guys are experienced growers, they think the 96s cause the plants to mature faster, speeding up flowering by a week or so.

Day 54 of 8-10 wk strain, Flush begins tonight.
