Right on brother, it looks supreme! I am getting a small tent so I can grow the lower yielding quality strains for my head stach and use my bigger tent for quality but production strains. The best of the best never yield very well so I've come to realize that but I still want to grow them :p
I'm the same way with smells man, my gf has to decipher the strains that I can't figure out :p she came to the conclusion the tangilope smells like body odor and rotten oranges mixed with some sort of spice. Yeah, gross is all I could say lol, my 24kwg really smells like nothing, it's weird, it smells good as a concentrate but as flowers there's only a very slight lemon smell, not the in your face og smell that burns the nose :p

First off I want to start by saying that I am pretty happy that I finally grew a pair some months ago when I decided to get into HID and 600 watts has been treating me pretty well. Usually I don't really have too many questions, I mostly like to just do my own thing and try out different products when I can afford it, so that I figure out what works for me. I have some questions here and there or like to double check and get others opinions because I still lack confidence and a lot of the time the answers I get end up being something I had forgotten about but had heard or read some other time. I still don't claim to be pro but I'm getting pretty good or at least I'm happy with the results I've been getting, for the most part and I have been continuing to get better results each grow. However I've only been serious about applying myself to indoor since February 2014, when I finally got setup with HID. Prior to getting setup with HID I was pussyfooting around and only had indoor experience with gear that really didn't have much potential, 4 foot flouro shop lights, cfl's but not very many, LED's with huge hype but I wasn't impressed, and so on. Aside from all of that most of my grow experience is with outdoor. Either way indoor's or out I haven't been weighing my final results till now.
This is where my latest question is, because I don't have enough indoor grows or log's from prior grows to know if my numbers are looking good.
I'm content with what I get, but for the amount of time, money, work and what not that I've been putting into this I feel like my final results should be even better.
My most recent grow I did 8 plants. Which this is a medical grow and there are two patients living here so I'm still legal. Two of the plants I was told when I bought the clones that they grow stringy. So I was prepared for some stretch. I harvested those two early and the smoke was still good, but I didn't get much off either plant. Never even bothered to weigh the bud. Those two plants were basically just a growing experiment anyway. My main grow that I was focused on was the 6 Blue Dream. From these 6 plants my dry weight of just bud was a little over 11 ounces. Again I'm happy with what I got but I was expecting that I should be doing better. I read a long time back that for indoor a grower who is doing things right should be able to get 1 gram per watt. When I do the math 11Oz x 28.4grams only comes out to 312.4 grams which is a bit shy of that 600 or so mark I was dreaming about. I still pulled close to 2Oz per plant. Maybe I just needed to put more plants in there?
Then again I'm not sure if growers usually go by wet or dry weight. Mine still might have a bit more curing to do even, but I'm calling it finished for now.
One thing that was mentioned here was dry Kool Bloom, and I picked up some of this for my next grow. It didn't get here in time to use any on this past grow.
I'm also going to be trying big bud coco formula, as well as some other products, and I'm even going to grow from seed this time too which I've not done for some time now, so I'm getting excited about my next grow. I'm just not too sure if the weight I've been getting is reasonably or if it really is like only half of what I ought to be pulling. Any input on this would me much appreciated. If you don't mind let me know what type of weight some of you are getting with your 600 watts and what nutes you use, soil verses hydro and so on. That way I have more to compare with.

The beans I ordered for my next grow are Sensi Skunk #1 auto/fem x3, Dina Fem White Widow feminized x1, and two afghani regular. The last three were freebies. I've also got two trained Jilly Bean plants that I've been messing around with under some t5 and I will probably just bloom these two plants instead of keeping either one as a mother for a different experiment I was working on. There is also a Blue Dream monster crop clone cut from my last crop three weeks into bloom. I'm mostly aiming for some intense smells out of my next grow and want to see how some of the gear I picked out works. I don't really care that much if I'm not hitting that 1 gram per watt range but it sure would be nice to be getting a big more out of it, or a pat on the back and a gold star for doing good enough I suppose haha. Sorry for writing so much but in a nut shell that pretty much sums up where I'm at for now.

Don't stress too much on gpw because NO SETUP is the same so that's not a good measuring stick for everyone to base of the same strain. Blue Dream is a big yielder but I don't see where you said what medium you were growing in but soil runs don't yield the same as hydro but taste oh so much better but hydro is good too when done right. For 6 plants under a 600 you did very well to me. I'm not big on yield I like quality but who doesn't like a good quality yielding strain and you have one there with the Blue Dream. Keep trying to perfect your conditions and learn the strain that your growing so you can get her to perform to her abilities. Training helps yield too but when it's all said and done yield comes from genetics and how well you grow the plant. Focus on that and you should be good. Was a great run to me so keep it up. I say long as you get over 10oz and close to the lb your doing good. Maximizing your setup for optimal conditions and knowing your strains will get you the most out of them. Also root space is key to yield too. Don't expect to harvest 4oz plants in 1gal but it can be done with right genetics and person keeps it happy but very hard to do as I one like this now.

I do a mix of organic and hydro plants but only organic soil right now. Hydro coming back soon and I only do a couple hydro plants anyway as I grow the very big. You may like the autos but I'm not really a fan of them. Yes they're good for some people and some of them are fire too but no preference for them. That White Widow should be good and would be interested to see what's in the Afghani. JillyBean is loved by a few on here so treat her well. Hopes this helps. I'm sure more will chime in for ya

I grew them in 3 gal smart pots with TGA super soil and additional additives.
SunShine advanced ultra coir for the top layer.
The taste, smell, density, color, frosty, hairy, is not so rock hard that it is tough to grind, or too sticky to where it gums up my grinder, thick smoke, stays lit, nice weight per nug, leaf to bud ratio was good, didn't have problems with mold or bugs, or otherwise any major issues during the entire grow. The effect from the smoke is just right for me too. It performed pretty well. I would grow that cut again for sure. I might not change anything except maybe more plants, if I grow that cut again. Maybe add the dry kool bloom, or big bud. It turned out really nice. I say I keep getting better each grow so going with that in mind I wouldn't hesitate to say this was the best grow I've done yet, indoor or out. haha, the only thing about putting more plants in there just means more trimming and trimming is one of my biggest gripes about growing, so maybe I'm fine with the number I've been growing. Trimming is such a pita.

Make sure you are freezing your bud and ISO, and stick to the 30 second light shake. Non frozen bud or long shake times pull too much plant matter into the final product.

Good info. Most people think you need to shake for very long time or let it soak for long time but like you said pulls out to much plant matter. Need to make me some it's been so long. Got some Blue Dream trim too
