Also, is it my imagination, or are the 90's flopping over more? It looks like the 80's are standing up straighter (because they're lighter?)

Day 75
Lights out!
Will keep them as they are in the dark till Sunday night then clip the stems at the base and leave them in there till dry and ready jar.
Might try an iso or everclear wash with the popcorn. Anybody know any fool proof methods with those?

Clones of Sour Legend are in the dome and will take over these tents hopefully within the next week, stay tuned. Sog time

We used to wash popcorn with everclear, strain through a 50micron stainless filter and dump it on a completely level 4' x 6' picture window. Scrape it up with a straight razor.

This was of course many years ago before I'd ever heard of rosin

I was thinking of pressing it but it's just more time consuming because of the little press I'm using. I just want a one and done.

What's up fellas!
This will be an 80cri 3000k vs 90cri 3000k Quantum board side by side grow. Everything in each tent is exactly the same. This grow is not for gpw but to see what if any difference on bud size, quality and finish time.
Two 2x2.5 Gorilla tents with 6" Hyperfans and interior fans.

There's 2 plants in each tent. A #1 and #2 pheno of Headbanger from Karma genetics (Sour Diesel x Biker Kush).
2 gallon pots with nutrifield 70/30 coco and half gs-2 Growstones.
Plants will be fed Jacks 321 with a tbls of Ful-power per gallon. Mammoth P at week 2. I'll introduce .5 gr of Jacks blossom booster around week 4 or 5 this time and Terpinator at week 6.

Each tent has 4 3000k QB288 boards mounted on two Slate 2 heat sinks. These things are sleek!
Each tent powered by HLG-320H-C2800.
The 80cri has the a version and 90 has b.

These girls were already over 4' tall when I crammed them under the screens so this is a very unconventional scrog.

Each tent is being run at 200w and today is day 1 of flower.
Any technical questions please refer to the diy QB thread here https://www.rollitup.org/t/diy-with-quantum-boards.927159/
You can purchase the boards @ https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/
Big thanks to @robincnn and @Stephenj37826 for making all of this possible for myself and the LED community. These boards are the future and the future is now!
Hope you guys enjoy the ride.
Let the summer showdown begin!

No I had a previous run with them and got one of my biggest yields with the fattest colas yet. Will replicate that or better on my next sog run. Pretty much the best way to fly imo.

Either your buddies grew the wrong seeds or cuts or just had a rough run, much like my present one. It happens. But here's some small fruits from my last QB grow. Every bud pulled off the plants was like this or bigger. Sog ftw

Buds are dry and smokeable.
80cri yielded the most but a little more popcorn. Both batches produced solid buds. 90 looked done done a few days earlier.
I'll try and get up some pics tonight after work. I would still do a mix of 80 and 90cri at this point. Waiting for the rest of my clones to root to start the next side by side sog.

Gratz to the 80 for higher yield but did 90 win the best smoke test:confused:

did u notice more resin on the 90 buds:confused:

Thx for great thread & pics:clap:

80 gave me 5 jars plus about 2 jars worth of popcorn and 90 gave me 4 jars. Didn't weigh them. This grow wasn't about weight as some plants got trimmed back way more and were just crammed under the screen last minute. I was just going for quality of smoke and finishing time with this test.
They both smoke great but I would personally give the 90 a slight edge. Slightly more greasy and triched out but 80 is a little more dense.
Will have some buddies do an unbiased comparison without mentioning anything after another week in the jars.

Here's a few rough trimmed buds from each jar with flash.
90 left and 80 right.
