Total = 13 oz.

Took twenty pint 1/2 jars to hold the buds.

really nice. if I remember correctly you pulled off nine oz on your last three-week veg grow under the other lamp, which would roughly mean an increase of 33% in total plant-growing time and a 44% increase in yield, right? cant remember how many strains you did last time, so Im not really taking any factors into account. I guess youre quite pleased!! During my last transplant from 1lts to 5lts I saw what looked like an unhealthy root-gathering, so Ill try and see if I can get some 5-gal geopots send here since your roots looked really healthy and not that big. looking forward to see if you find the buds different from the other ones, have a nice weekend.

Hey benbud, thanks for the post. That's correct, 9 oz. from the last grow in the same space. I have come to understand that the grow space plays a significant part of total harvest. Unless I start growing vertical, I am limited by the 2' x 3' grow space no matter what I do, there is a limit to my max production.

I have increased my efficiency dramatically by using the 160w LED instead of the 400w HID. The bigger plants (2 mo. veg cycle) allowed for much greater bud production.

The roots definitely had plenty of space in the 5 gal Geopots. The containers did a great job air pruning the long roots and keeping them untangled. I was looking at the buds today under different lighting and they just sparkle. I believe the LED and organic soil contributed to heavier trich production on this grow and it should be pretty potent over most the strains.

I will post a smoke report in a couple weeks. I'm looking forward to that too :eyesmoke:

I think you read my mind since i'm starting up a new grow at the moment and day 1 is right around the corner. So are these the last of the prosperian journals for now? or will you be tempted in to bringing out the garden earlier then thought?

Hah, you know me pretty well. Last time I could only stay away from growing for three months. I gave away most of my stock and had to get back in the closet. This time I have to be more conservative with smoke handouts. Gotta make it stretch through 2014.

What are you thinking about growing this year? Still running the LED panel?

Right now im just throwing up some random seeds I got for freebies in a promotion, so idk what exactly I am growing but I know they are good strains. I plan on using both MH and LED in this grow. Ill put something up in a few days when they sprout. Yeha you must be giving out alot since last I checked you said you had enough through 2015

Promo grows are fun and free. Yeah 2015, I gave a lot of it away, and of course I smoke more too :weed:

I still have half of the harvest from March. It gets better the longer it cures, pretty amazing how it changes in the jar.

I am looking forward to following your next grow. Not like I have anything pressing going on around here to do.

I will start building my brewery as I can budget equipment. Last weekend I cleaned out the garage, attic, and storage shed. Tossed a lot of junk to make room for the beer brewing contraption in my sunroom.

trueg what growing media are you gonna use? If soil, then what recipe are you gonna use?
Im not doing anything fancy at all. Just picking up some organic soil from the local store and feeding them with Dyna Gro when needed.


To Pros:
Maybe we need a brewing thread from you, huh? Ill post a link to my thread in a few days

hey again, Pro! just went through you thread to find some photos of the plants' size before going 12/12. it seems like you vegged some nine weeks or maybe more, is that right? Another question, are you able to see the sex of your plants before starting flower? I have a plant that's growing really well and accepts whatever topping I feel like doing, but I dont know if it's a she and Im dying to know.

Hi Ben, good to see you man. I did a 7 week veg from 12/12 on this last grow. My day count from germination was 72 days before flipping 12/12.

Longer veg periods will sometimes show gender before flowering, mine did. You can drop a plant into 12/12 to induce flowering and sex the plant and then return it back to veg photo period. This stresses the plant and will add to your day counts. But if you have to know, it will work. Personally, I use only feminized seed because of my limited floor space, can't waste it on males. Lucked out with a bag seed on this last grow and had a heavy producing fem.

I did a test smoke on the white lavender @ a month cure last night. Killer resin on this strain and harvested just right with a strong head high that doesn't drop me on the floor. Picking up ripe fruit aromas and flavors and a spiciness on the tongue. This is a keeper and recommended.

I will get more smoke reports later as I get more of the jars cracked back open. Catch ya later and good luck with female, hopefully.
