Only a wardrobe corey...approx 3ft by 2ft...only small hence the one plant..What size is your grow space Ace?
Cheers Bilbo...iv counted 42 sites so fingers crossed there all 3 grammers haha...im using the full canna range nutes..just started with the boost, apparently that will help put on some weight...As a rough but accurate way of estimating weight as you go along Ive found that a largeish single bud weighs 3 grams dry--a medium sized bud weighs 2 grams , and the smaller popcorny buds are 1 gram, as you are scrogging and pruning etc, there wont be many of the small ones and more of the larger ones. You don't say anywhere I think how many plants you got flowering but 3 -4 ounces per plant is possible. If you get more than that then Hats Off to you man, I will be delighted for my own future harvests under my Viparspectra 450, good luck.
Thanks Bilbo..Good to hear. Yes 20 days since i flipped to flower..all under the vipar 450w. im delighted with the way its going...will be very interesting to see how it performs in the later stages of flower...ill keep u postedO very nice Ace, remind me again --sorry -- is that 20 days from the flip to 12/12 ? if so that is stupendous.Your leafs look so healthy, which is more than I can say for mines, which I vegged under a 250W metal halide. If those are an example of the vegging job the Vipar does then I think its time to get maybe a 300W Vipar in the attic to take over the vegging. Great stuff man---good thread this for anyone trying to tune in an LED grow.
looks like some nice big buds on that...lol...awesome..hows it doing?@
450w(As it says on Amazon, but it only eats like 200ish watts)
I had a bunch more CFLs on the sides but I removed like 5 on each side, it had heat issue lol
My first grow ever
Cheers dodge...ill go for a staged arvest i think..totally makes sense..i grow fruit aswell and i never harvest all at once as there never ready all at the same time...it makes good sense to me...Bilbo, sorry, been busy so haven't been on here much. So much to do, so little time!
Anyhow, the staged harvest...keep in mind I'm not a professional, just grow for personal medical use. What I have found is that the bud sites that get the most light (top of plant, sometimes sides, depending on how your light is distributed), tend to be ready to harvest earlier than other sites that may get a little shadow. So when I see those buds are ready (calyxes swollen (as mentioned above), hairs "browning", and how the trichs look), I will harvest the ones that are ready...that's always been the ones at the top of the plant (keep in mind if you scrog or LST, it could be different...I'm talking about just straight growing plants) and maybe a couple on the sides if they are hanging outward and catching a bunch of light. All I do is just harvest those buds, and the rest of the plant stays in on it's normal cycle. I do check the buds daily, and I continue to harvest those that are ready. Usually, the lower buds are ready at the same time and you can complete that harvest then. The first time I did this, I kept all the buds harvested at the same time together, then once cured, I compared the smoke quality. I guess I did something right because they were all awesome! Prior to doing this, I had one plant where I harvested everything all together, but I kept the buds from the top separate from the lower buds, and compared them after curing. I didn't like the difference between them, so I "stage" harvest all the time now.
Trichs aren't the only thing I look at, but I do base a lot off of them. Just personal experience.
Nice! I just harvested mine using a 600w vipar. 4 plants 4.5 oz dried20 days into flower...plenty of bud activity...
Total? Or per plant?Nice! I just harvested mine using a 600w vipar. 4 plants 4.5 oz dried
Total and one Plant was stunted all I got off of that one was the main colaTotal? Or per plant?
All of the buds were a bit on the fluffy side and the first 4 1/2 weeks all the plants runner need just compact fluorescent lightingTotal? Or per plant?
