Why did you not manicure them before you hung them up? I know they take longer to dry that way but what positive effect does it have?

Why would it take longer? Going his way makes trimming a lot easier.

i usually give them a good 'hair cut' before i string them up, but i wont be trimming alone this time around (thankfully). so im leaving more work, for better pay. rather than having a bummed trim buddy, i want a high, happy, paid professional trimup job. also i have always went towards just taking the fan leaves and leaving the rest, making drying slower. the slower the dry, the better the high. to each their own.

the Harvest Weight Update is in. i took a hit on yield this round, both HPS and LED. final dry weight is 107.6g. for my next test i am going to need to keep the units much closer to the canopy. it will take me a bit to get things fully dialed in. i am not disappointed one bit though. the quality is out of this world. gotta be the best i have ever grown. major bag appeal. lets see some trim pics.

Thanks for posting final yield. The buds look very nice and compact, but only 107g from 330w is not that great. I think 330w of CFLs would do better. All a learning curve, I suppose. Keep up the good work!

I don't think it can be said that 107G is not enough, or not great for 300 watts. I think its freaking awesome!!!! Consider the fact that Cali has realized he could have done some things better, such as individual pots, which I know hindered the yield. No offense there Cali,simply in your defense.

Also, show me some other LED units that grew plants that looked like those...they are bad ass peeps! Bad ass! This light is also American Made!!!!!!!!!! Nothing against Chinese manufacturers, but I enjoy supporting our American companies. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt, CFLS could outperform this unit. If they did...I would eat my words in a heartbeat. Consider the area that was grow under, and the amount of plants that were there as well. I think it turned out BOMB!

You did good Cali! I personally thank you for posting your journal, as it was a FUN ride! I can't wait to see your DUAL-Lumi setup!!!!!

Props to Cali, and props to Lumigrow!

Great stuff Cali! Everybody...show some respect, and only provide positive feedback.


Peace!!

Stay in touch Cali-

I don't think sweetherb was being critical as much as
observant of the watt/gram ratio that has been the
talk of the town(RIU) lately.

1watt/1gram being the objective.

I was thinking the same thing at first and then PF
posted what I was thinking. The next grow will be
even better.

Cali, thanks for sharing.

EDIT: I also think a lot of people are weighing too
early to get a correct watt/gram ratio. It's not an
exact science. Cali's finished product looks perfect.
