Round 3.
I originally started a Green Crack and this Lemon Walker under a screen. I had propped up the GC on a milk crate since it was started 3 weeks after the LW.
Fast forward to day 19 (today) and the GC just wasn't kicking into gear, see pics below. So I cut out the screen and gave the GC to my buddy to finish outdoors so I can give the vigorous LW the whole tent.

There's gonna be a ton of buds on this plant and I want them all to get ample light. I'm pulling 240 with just the lights and am tempted to crank them up to their max of 320 to hit all the sites down each stalk. But at that wattage I'm getting into diminishing return territory. I've seen guys run 400w hps in this size tent with great results so even though I'm more efficient I wonder how unproductive it would be.

You can see the GC on the left just wasn't keeping up even though they were flipped together.

Looking good! Definitely love anything DNA, always killer flavor and resin production. What size is your tent?

Decided not to increase the power so far. I feel like if I increase I will of course need to raise the bars so it's like a toss up. I'd rather keep each bar as close as possible while still getting decent coverage. Everything seems to be getting light.
So far so good. I'm glad I made 2 bars and not just one big sink as you can see where that helped me, even with a single plant.
She's sucking down feedings. I used to go 2 gallons every 3rd day but she was ready to drink today even though her feeding day is tmrw. So looks she'll be getting 2 gallons every other day..bless her little plant soul :)

She's chugging along. Spent 10 mins plucking little pre-nuts yesterday and plucked one out of a bud so I'm praying this isn't a seeded run. That would be a real bummer considering it's just this one plant this run. It's definitely not my environment.
I don't know if it's Luke or Leia.. This probably has something to do with them making out.
@coolbreez1 that's a 3 gallon

Day 57. I think those empty seed shells were just a scare. Started water only yesterday and she'll come down next thurs. It definitely lived up to DNA's
claims of golf balls up and down.

As much as I would love to build a cxb fixture I don't think it will make that much of a difference over these cxas in my application. I think I'll wait till the cxd's come out.

Really nice grow! What is that strain called again? Im getting 8 cobs for a space slightly bigger than yours, 2x3. How do you feel about the penetration? Im thinking whether to divide my space into two scrogs or diong one tall. And would prefer to do the tall one, but I would need to make sure that I can penetrate at least about two feet of canopy :)

Screenshot_2015-11-05-17-12-45.png Harvest was a success! 193.6 grams off the single Lemon Walker. Didn't hit my 1gpw goal but I kept up with the same numbers I've been getting from 2 plants in the same area. 26 of those grams were popcorn which I'm gonna let a buddy blast for me. Rolled a joint last night and it was smooth and the high was nice for only a 6 days dried and jarred for 2 days. I'm sure it will be even tastier in a few weeks. I tried running my exhaust for 15 mins every 60 mins while hanging the branches in my tent which I thought was working well but by day 5 they were really crisping up too much for my taste so next time no fans whatsoever. Except a little 5 watt down bottom blowing air around.

Beautiful grow!!!

I have similar watts/COBs, but in the form of a pair of Optic 120's, in a home-built half closet that is about 2x2.5. I pulled a little over 4 ounces from mine last time (one Alien OG in a 7 gallon!), and felt good about it... but its good to know that there's room to grow, so to speak! I have a LOT to learn, but it gets a little better each time.
