lol well they should never be yellow. they will start clear, then go milky and finally amber like a coca cola color. clear means not ready. i like to harvest right when they start turning amber. they are never goin to be 100% milky you might have a few clear and a few amber just as long as majority of them are milky you will know. keeping track of the weeks that your letting your plants flower and harvesting at different times is also a great thing to do especially if you plan on growing the same strain. it will let you experiment!
 
yea i use promix kinda like coco, as of right now i got 7 difrent strains i went kinda crazy, and i am keeping the 4 best ones only got through 3 of them so far, but id have to work at it fiting 4 difrent scrogs under 2 400watts maby sounds tricky.
 
im always trying somthing new i love to experiment, most of the time i mess up but one day i will get it right , this stuff looks so good but tast like cat fur :cry: my plan for this harvest is to only let hang for 48 hrs and go right into jars, and burp them all the time, i normaly hang them for a week or longer, i think i always overdryed my buds befor i even got a chance to cure them. is it possible?

Dry times are not your issue. You should be drying at least 5 days in optimal conditions(65-75 degrees/45-70% humidity/dark room with light breeze not directly on buds) Do not dry for only 48 hours. But try to begin cure right before stems snap.
Your room pics are awesome, and how you are growing all sounds fine.
Do all your strains taste like shit or just this one?
You do not need to flush for 3 weeks. I've done this before and in soil have found 5-7 day flush is perfect, no matter how heavy you feed nutes in peak flower.
After 3-4 days in cure my buds aroma comes back to life fully, a month they should be amazing. The fact that they are not leads me to believe your issue is neither dry or cure.
You definitely need HIDs MH in mid-late veg, T5s are great for early veg but not full.
Your main stems are stretched, more light closer to tops earlier on.
You are really losing lumens. Your grow rooms should be much tighter and too many plants per light being it seems as if you are attempting to grow them out fully.
The first pic, that corner top left where the taller plants are should be enclosed to about 1/5 of the size of that room.
The ones closer under the t5 reflector should be in a even smaller area. I suggest you build some rooms inside a room with some 2x2, 1x3 or 2x4 framing and panda film or something.
I'd love to have those sized areas for grow rooms.

a 400 will fit 2 2x4 scrogs under it side by side. and another light nes=xt to it will do the same. fill from the center outward or just put a few extra plants under it. u should be able to pull 5 ounces or so per screen.

5 plants under a screen with a 400hps. screen is about a 2x3 or just shy of 3 ft wide. didnt measure when i cut the screen.
expecting about 4 ounces out of it. day 4 of flower.

My goal it to net 12.5 oz every 2 weeks i need help. What are my best chances of doing this, if its even possible.
have u ever considered doing a sea of green? also u will need a lot more lighting and knowledge to pull 12.5 ounces every two weeks. 2 1000 watt lights for flower a mom araea with a 400 mh a clone area with a nice t5 a veg area with a 400 or 600 mh and a lot of practice. lol.i have 2 1000 watt lights and 3 400s and i cant get that yield yet. without a screen. it takes practice. practice getting ur plants right before going all out on lots of yield. do lots of reading and research and then plan every little detail out.

eventually u will pull pounds every few months and then u can ration it off every two weeks if need be. besides i wouldnt advise undertaking such a job unless u were well prepared.

yeah its ur best bet. grow some for the time being while u experiment and try dif techniques while u plan out ur next grow op. do a lot of research and a lot of thread browsing. also youtube videos help once u get an idea of what u would like to do.

got some good genetics there. should be interesting. :)
