Yea I mean it's hard to not do a little barn yard math with it....I've pulled down realistically much less then 1/4 of the small one. Netted 2oz. So playing it safe say I get 8 off the small one the big one is twice as fat solid 16 potentially..... I mean I know I got bud in the eyes and time will tell but I'm pretty giddy with excitement. Knowing I at the very least achieved my needed/desired 12 is very comforting for the investment of money and time that I have made.

Edit: seeing that I have even the slightest possibility of doubling my goal and not realizing it until harvest is pretty priceless.

Your seriously on the verge of setting the world record i think. Im checking the veg times log list now over on mmj records.com
 
Lol well before you go vouching for me let's wait for me to get a actual total harvest dry weight. Once the jarred up weed stops rehydrating I'll re-weigh. It's my first grow so I could have buds in the eyes and be seeing what I want to see when it comes to speculation.
 
Wow, so it's pretty cool smoking it in different stages. The latest cut, although a tad moist cherrys and burns fine when ground up. Man I'm still trying to catch my breath. Smoking stuff that has been cut one week a part is worlds of difference. Glad you guys got me to slow the knife and ride this proccess out.

Edit: maybe if we are looking at records I shouldn't smoke anything more that's unaccounted for lol
 
I guess also lets shed some light on my killer secret ;-) lol.....I had excess orca, and even though led is supposed to be directional I knew I still had light scatter. If you move them you can see intensity change on the outer buds so they definetly have an effect. I did this probably like a month ago.

So I think CLW should sponsor me and send me another light lol. I really wanna do a 3 light system kinda like a vertical grow. One on top then one angled on each side.
 
What about arranging three plants in a circle, three LED above and a HPS in the middle, vertically?

Do everything the same, start using the HPS after the stretch stops and with the RDWC you can even rotate your plants.

I could see a 250W HPS adding ~250g to the yield.

:leaf:
 
To maximize the room I built I can't see needing more then one on top and one on each side. The only thing with more plants is it's still illegal in my area and they charge based on number of plants no matter what the size. I never got any stretch at all this round. My girls are only about 2 1/2 feet lol. I did so much lst and adjusted daily it was almost like I was scrogging with out the scrog. I'm actually thinking a high powered COB would be best for my overhead lighting. None the less to get a substantial amount more ill need to increase plant size going into flower. Since I'm doing so well without HPS I hate to resort to adding it in the end.
 
With the plants so small into flower (2 feet) I feel like without all my fumbles and having larger plants I could tank more out of the current setup. I'm still a fan of defoliation but I think I would defoliate slightly less through flower next time.
 
But I think the chilling system and water pumps is going to total about 300watts, expecting that change to give me another 300 grams I think is completely unrealistic. But the ease should make it worth it.
 
I really feel like I can stick with all LED equipment, and with cobs being higher powered and not struggling at penetration as much as the smaller diode LED would be the perfect for light up top.
 
Well jar dosnt seem to be rehydrating anymore so I'll re weigh tonight. One open jar session seemed to suck out any remaining moisture so I can't imagine there's much of a weight difference. Also I have a smaller scale that fits a quarter comfortably on the tray and I was weighing them out over so that way the weight I state is on the conservative side. So it's possible even after some
Moisture loss I still have over 2oz in there.
 
And as far as running the last week with no nutrient. Deficiencys won't start to show up in the buds? Only the leaves?
 
With me being conservative after smoking out of it and getting it completely dry still 2oz. Found a tray to make weighing it a little quicker(more at once)

Dude you need to start a commercial operation getting as many patients their meds. You are doing a social injustice not flipping your whole garage into a grow room.

It really sucks man, you should see what my dr would like me to take. I would be a zombie. Instead I utilize MJ medicinally skip the pharmaceuticals and can function fine. I also use it recreationally. But my state is not one that has the same feelings as me....
 
Did something that I should of done a cpl weeks ago..... straighten up my canopy. Never too late right? Lol
