Great job all around.
I'm guessing 1062.
I'm about 5 days away from throwing a very similar grow into flower. There are some variations I'm doing that might be interesting to you.
My room size is nearly identical to yours, and I will be using the same nutes. However instead of 2-1000W, I am going to use 3-600-HPS. bulbs with no reflector. I am going to drop them down into the middle of the plants and try to take advantage of vertical lighting.
I will only be flowering 12 plants that I took from clones but I am going to experiment with putting 4 of them in five gallon buckets too see if I notice a difference in growth. They should be around 20-24 inches when I start flowering.
My pot spacing is going to take advantage of light on both sides of the plant when possible.

Everything is now dried and manicured and are now in jars for curing besides those final three White Widow plants. I put the three plants worth of still slightly moist White Widow into a large paper bag and will let it sit overnight. I will rotate the buds in the bag when I wake up in the morning and will jar them as soon as they feel dry enough. With some luck I'll have the final weight for everything tomorrow. This has been quite exciting. I can't wait to announce my next project.

I have access to some very nice Bubblegum clones from a friend of mine who has been growing that strain for years, so that is a possibility.Congrats! Do some bubblegum next or some super silver haze
No thanks on the Super Silver Haze though. I don't like growing pure sativas and I am pretty much done with Greenhouse for at least the time being.
More to come...

Dill is there a specific reason why you don't like growing a pure sativa

I have great success rates with Greenhouse seeds.. And SSH is my favorite strain.. wish I had the space to grow some

They're too tall, they stretch quite easily and the flowering times are way too long. Plus, they're not nearly as ideal for a SOG setup compared to a pure indica.

Tomorrow for sure. Those last three are still just a little bit moist.

Great job, Dill. Just like 'uptosumpn' I love Extra Stout too, so you using it in your BBxWW picture gives me more than just visual perspective. My mouth is watering X2. Will be lurking to see the final numbers + the final harvest in jars pic.
Well done.
Well done.

im excited aboutt harvest pics and the final weight im gonna guess 1111 
I'm an utter n00b when it comes to growing, and I've been lurking on this forum for a while, dithering whether to post or not.
I've got a first time hydro grow in its infancy at the moment comprising 8 White Berry plants which are taking off like fucking Concorde, I'm pleased to say.
I must say, Dill, after following your journal, that I'm incredibly inspired. You rawk the sawks, mate.
I'm also Irish, so your taste in Stout only endears you to me more. Keep up the exemplary work.

Well I have spent the last hour and a half glued to your journal. It is very detailed and such an inspiration for a newbie like myself. I am almost done with my 2 x 1000w set-up... about $2500 later. Just bought my lights and ballasts today.
I hope I didn't miss it somewhere but do you have a thermostate for your a/c to control the temp or do you just run it on a timer? I am going to run a window a/c with duct into the room also.
Can't wait to see the final yeild.. I will guess 1111 grams
