Well from those picture you posted that you said were taken a week before harvest it looks like you've been chopping way too soon. Those were just starting to fill out and haven't started swelling at all. Those needed another 4 weeks or more. And yes you'll get a significant amount more weight.

edit: say they paid cost for their SS1100’s, that’s 36k total, meaning they would make up that entire cost right before the warranty expires in 5 years JUST from electricity costs.

CLW makes some of the nicest blurples on the market, but their prices are fucking crazy.

I used to grow autos but switched to feminized a few years ago. Autos just dont have that smell and taste i am looking for. Although lemon haze auto was the bomb

When you say feminized, you mean hermie bag seed right?
I ask cuz my room hermied on a pheno hunt once n every seed was a female. 21 planted seeds / 21 female.
About 40% of them were unstable, causing another hermied room after trying to grow the new crosses.

Generally speaking most get more yield off Coco, Pro-Mix, or one of the 100 methods of Hydro.
Also, if you're chooping 30 days early based on trich production, then maybe you have the wrong idea of cloudy? Or your eyes?
Under HPS my old lady used to bug cuz an 8 wk strain would be done at 8wks. Receeded hairs, mostly cloudy, lil clear. But then, the next day, tote & chppers in hand, i would go in & see all new growth.
I called it the second growth spurt & it happened primarily under HPS. Then I'd go another week with all new white hairs bursting through the orange, receded hairs.
End result, extra pound or 2 id guess & cloudy with some amber starting.
Strain dependent but most did this n id have to here : "You n your GD second groth spurt" cuz being a woman, she wants that doe yesterday, ya know.
Chopping early is why you're not getting the 1.5 - 1.75 off each light.
MH will increase bag appeal, trichs & aroma
when installed the last 10-14 days of flower.

I top the plant once, usually right out the cloner, then do a series of pinching new tops growing to keep it even & make it bush.

I would Dial it all in before going LED unless you got some doe to go. Even better, start by buying supplemental leds to boost your hps spectrum & corners. Then, later combine the led to make one unit & try that vs. Your hps. Most to switch after seeing the difference.

Now thats some good info. I will try these things you have mentioned and definitely let you know. My new spot won't be ready for about a month. Give or take. Just want the best product i can possibly grow. Maybe i should start another grow and do all these things you guys suggested then start my new spot

I dont know how they get it to be feminized. When you order seeds they have a choice of regular seed, auto seeds or feminized seeds. Feminized seeds has a 99.9 chance of being female. Why waist time eith regular seeds when you can buy feminized

AK hey? I had a run of AK48 actually but it just didn’t seem very potent... It was a bag seed though... I know they’re not really very related either hahaha! AK47 one day, eventually :)

Oh , i missinturpurted how you aquired your seeds i guess.
I buy both now that i recently started growing from seed for new phenos/genetics/strains.
Rumor has it a good female reg is better then a feminized seed but i can't tell & its allot easier when u have a plant count to use fem seeds.
I stil don't get why you haven't picked the best AK47 n just clone that?
Growing from seed will highly increase your chances of one plant hermie n ruin the whole room.

Worth every minute of your time. My customers LOVE IT. As you read though i have been harvesting to early and have been for almost 2 years. This time this crop is going full term. That means it going to be even better. Smells soooo good. Very sweet tastes.

Cloning is something i will be looking into but haven't done yet. I know nothing about it snd count on almost every bud or useable trim. I make hash and butter to. As i said before i maximize all of it. Hell if i knew how to make rope i would use the stem lol

If you want to use all of it, cloning is for you. You won’t need a seed ever again and your worst baby will look like your current best baby. It’s really easy I highly recommend it especially if you’re running so many babies :)

Math? Based on what?

What are you asking about? The electricity savings or the CBD/THC/Terpenes? They explain both very simply in the video, did you watch it?

edit: Electricity is based on 20 lights and an $1800 price point and the data they provided in the video.
