Thought I'd introduce myself and show off the goods since I've been trolling but not talking for a while now

Dehumidifier on continuously, 32-40% humidity. Oil filled heater set to keep room temps at root level 65 degrees during winter. 1 8" rotating fan at floor level in corner.

I've been growing for the last 3 years since I received my recommendation, and have found the right strains and methods to get what I feel are pretty good yields and quality.
Right now my mainstay is a really nice sweettooth pheno I picked out of a 10 pack of non-feminized Barneys Farm seeds. I picked it because of its tight nodes, heavy yield, and overall quality. some phenos were of slightly higher quality but stretchier, but this pheno had a 15" tight main cola, soda can diameter, and it was still really damn nice quality. The clone I took off of her is my momma. I veg for about 8 weeks, lots of pinching, and flower for 9-10 weeks. 6-9 oz.'s/plant is average, depending on how lazy I am in pinching, and how much my veg room temps vary (seasonal).
I'm experimenting with a tangerine dream plant I picked up, and a wonder woman plant I picked up. Both are showing promise, and were clones of clones purchased from a dispensary.
Anyways, happy to be officially on board, hope you enjoy the pictures. Any questions, I'm glad to help.
