Gorgeous buds my dawg ...... HOT DIGGITY DOG ! ....

Here is another benefit from your grow ....
Your grow is a testament to the quantum boards and those old school holdouts still
trolling over HID and blurple. Any noobs still on the fence about HLG and their gear ...

“ Beta Rekonize ! “ ........ lol.

Final Harvest Numbers and Pics!

Everything was hung for between 7 and 9 days. I got off to a poor start with my drying strategy but quickly recovered. I was able to keep the drying room at exactly 64 degrees and I chose to let the RH bounce between 57% and 66% from day 3 on. Everything is jarred up but I still have some manicuring to do - I've gotten thru about 75% of it so far. Waiting on some more hygrometers and boveda backs to get delivered.

The total harvest amount came as a really big surprise. One of my closest friends was home for xmas vacation and he got to see them all hanging. He estimated 2/3rds of a pound. The following day, I studied them for about 30 minutes and came to the same number - 2/3rds of a pound was my guess too.

I didn't weigh anything until the jars were at 62% or less so the numbers are not skewed by moisture content.

TOTAL WEIGHT: 891 GRAMS!!!
31.43 Ounces
1.964 Pounds

I was shocked. Because this strain did not produce really huge donkey dick cola's like many of the others I have grown, I was expecting a poor yield. Where the cola size suffered, the flower density did not. These flowers are incredibly dense and that explains the surprising yield.

The other thing is there was no larf. Literally none. The only buds that would be considered sub-par would be the ones that were inside the plant that got no light. But even these were fantastic. They had about 75% of the resin and 50% of the density compared to the flowers on the outside but there was absolutely no throw away crap...none!

I usually resize the images I upload to around 1800px wide but I chose to upload higher quality pics for this post. Be sure to click on them!

(There is one large jar that is not pictured - but this represents about 90% of the harvest)

It was really fun getting to try new stuff. Was buying 18 quantum boards just for one plant crazy? Of course it was. But to your point, I got to learn a ton. And yes, this technology is legit. I have to wait a month or two and negotiate with my wife what I can do next but it will def be something using QB's. I want to revisit my earlier work with 12/12 from seed - small plants in quantity. Just have to see what she's cool with and go from there.

Don't give yourself a headache trying to figure this out. The GPW for this is not good.
From the day I planted the seed until the day I harvested, 151 days.
The QB's were operating at near 100% power early on and then were reduced to 50%. I began the grow with 1 QB and steadily increased by going to 2, and then 4 and then 8 and then finally 16. I also had overhead lighting. Initially overhead was done by 1 QB. Then it was 2. Then it was a 600W Cool Blue MH. Then a 600W HPS and then for the last month of flowering, a 315W CMH. It's just too hard to try and figure out and really not worth the time.

I'll spare you the suspense - this was not an efficient grow. It was never meant to be.

BUT - my next one will be :)

I'll be watching this one too Hot Diggity, I've been running everything under 12/12 from seed also.

Nice!! Close to two is badass. Those look to me like half gallon masons.
Takes some bud to fill those bad boys up. It's fucking awesome to enjoy a great harvest.
Trust by now you are quite enjoying the smoke.
