Wow!!! Just burned through that whole Journal.. took about an hour, but it was well worth it. First off just let me say bravo for the HID, Flouro side by side experiment. i know you are busy with harvest, but I posted a comment in my journal comparing the benefits of HID vs. Flouro.. and the experiment you did with the stadium scrog for HID is brilliant. You took advantage of the fact that the Hid was producing the most light in the center and less on the edges which you raised. I had similar results with flouro tubes. T8's tho. I have a current 2 plant scrog under flouros 4 days into flower.

Excellent job my friend, I like the experimentation in your growing style

I will be continuing this journal with the summer round I am doing in my flouro cabinet. Here is what I do:
~I Top and LST during veg period.
~ before they go under the screen I transplant to a larger container
~ I let the shoots grow above the screen then tie them down to the tp of the screen.
~I veg the screen out this way till it is close to 2/3 filled
~Turn 12/12 and continue to tie down for the first 2 to 3 wks of flowering
~After than just let the shoots go vertical

tips:
~Remove ALL vegetation under the screen by 2 weeks flower and then keep it clean.
~thin the fan leaves out so bud sites get light, but dont over-do it.
~remove smaller/weaker shoots to help bigger ones.
~Be patient.

Thanks for taking the time out to read the whole thing! I'm glad you liked it. The flouro has benefits but is definately not as efficient. You will see here in a minute. Ill try to catch up with your journal in a few days. Glad to have you around.

Thanks Doc Glad you enjoyed it. final harvest pics here in a few and then Ill get some in a few days of the new round.

 

[SomeGuy]

OK!! FINAL HARVEST UPDATE!

I chopped the hps parabolic scrog. It took several hours of chopping and trimming.

Final result for all three plants: 542grams wet

I am pretty satisfied with the results. My Blue mystic isn't a high yielding Plant and neither is my second phenotype of PPP. If I had used first Phenotype only I would have got even more. Here is the break down:

PPP1: 226g
PPP2: 194g
BM: 122g

Unknown amount of trim at this point. I have the last batch dried in a bag and this batch was even bigger. I think some edibles will be in order. LOTS of little budlets in the trim bags.

Enjoy the pics:

Holy fuck!!!

That is a beautiful thing...

Rock on brother!!!! Rock on!!!

Thanks Gypsy. I am thinking close to 6oz dry. Then maybe 3 or so from the other one. That makes for a decent haul for 11 weeks of waiting. I need some new strains though. I just got a clone of Sour Berry. (Sour Diesel x blue berry) But I am not sure I want to grow the BM anymore and I am doing away with the 2nd Pheno of PPP. The first one is a KEEPER though.

 

[GypsyBush]

Maybe 6...

I was thinking 25% of 542g is 135.5g...

!35.5 g is 4.78 oz...

You may get a little over that... but not much...

I could be wrong... I never dry a bunch at a time... but in small quantities, it seems 25% is right on the money...

Hope I'm wrong though... and you get 7 or 8...

Its hard to say. Ive been between 25/33% depending on density. Either way I am at around a 1/2lb, thats not too shabby for 2 28"x14" spaces...LOL

 

[SomeGuy]

Another update. Flouro cabinet dry yeild was 76g or 2.7oz. Not bad. these werent nearly as dense as the ones under the HPS... I think I hit .34g per watt or something like that...lol

 

[Mammath]

Great job SG.
That's a decent haul from those screens and the buds look mighty fine
Rep when I can mate.

 

[GypsyBush]

OH DUDE!!!

Your grows was amazing...

Nothing shabby there... 100% legit greenthumb action there bro...!!! no joke...

 

[sup@baked]

Nice grow dood .Gongrat's !!!! lol it won't let me rep you anymore until I rep some others . I am really trying to copy ur grow , good luck to me

 

[Boulderheads]

Awesome job my friend. and hella job with the floros. Nice documentation!! This is A+ material for the grower with very limited space, heat issues, cost, and all of the other issues associated with HID. This is truly a great comparison, which I hope to be replicating in the near future, except with T8's(Just picked up a ton of HID hear uber cheap). Can I ask you how far away you kept the T5's during flower? Gonna post all my new toys in my journal. Cheerio!

Thanks guys, you both are too nice. Both of your grows are a beautiful thing. Someday I hope to have a little more space. It would be nice to just do one or two big grows a year. As you both know this eats up some time..LOL. Thanks again for following my journal, really glad your here.

Harvest looks great man, the buds look very stick. I bet that is some bomb stuff dogg congrats

Thanks Sup! I will try to drop by your journal today sometime and check it out again. Ive been a little swamped with the harvest and getting things cleaned up for the new batch and all. Sending good vibes to you and your grow!

Boulder. I kept the t-5s about 1.5-2" from the tops. However...I lie..LOL because I have some computer fans at screen level the light can only come down to that height. So for a while the bulbs are probably 4" from the top of the screen. Then as they grow above the screen I just try to keep it pretty close to the tops. AIR MOVEMENT is a must across the tops though. T-5s still create a bit of heat.

Glad you found the flouro/HID comparison interesting. I was curious and it worked out OK. In fact, I will do it again. If I could afford it right now though I think I would just buy 2-250w HPS and do both cabinets with one each. I think my 400w hps is a bit of overkill in the 14"x28" space. I had light bleaching on two colas and the lamp was almost 1.5' away...

I will stop by your journal soon too.

Was a nice run man still things looked good. Eegads .34 per watt. Def not something i wanted to see.

Quick question. Do you think that 1g per watt is actually doable? or is it a floro pipe dream?

Thanks Tom! They are dank, plus I have some variety to play with. Misty, Pure Power Plant-1, PPP-2, and Blue mystic.
