It makes sense then why I haven't seen you. Welcome back.
Like I said, I'm flattered by you thinking little old me could get a lb with a 400. For one, I'm only using 7 sq.ft. For 2, I've mostly used a 1000w hps and have only gotten a lb one time (in maybe 6-8 shots). I average 14 oz with the 1000w. Not super efficient I know... but it's what I can do... and I think it's pretty decent cosidering the space I have to work with. I don't see many people pulling that kinda weight from that small a closet. 0.55 g/w is my biggest harvest (that was 20 oz from a 1000w) in terms of g/w. It's not the greatest measure of a grows success but it is a number to compare one of my grows to the next. If you want to use g/w as a measure than I just have to get 9 oz off this grow to match my best ever. And I'm pretty sure I'll get that (i hope at least).
Weight isn't everything... smell, look, taste, effect also count. These are the nicest smelling flowers I've ever grown, and while it's a new strain for me I don't think it's all down to strain. It just smells different. I don't think it's the light that is making it different, but the temps and humidity. With my 1000w in that closet I have to run a 6" fan all the time to keep it cool. That sucks all the air out the closet quick and humidity is basically pegged below 10%. With the led's I am only running a 50 cfm bathroom fan from home depot. The air still circulates but not at warp speed. The humidity has been around 35% most of the grow... dipping now at the end because of weather here in the mountains.
About the looks, I'm not sure how I feel about this one. My buds usually look pretty interesting from getting slammed with light, be it in a good way or bad way. This time they look prettier, but not as mean. If that makes sense. I also feel this look think I may be imagining. To be honest I tried soil last year... it was a pathetic failure... so it's been over a year that I've seen proper buds in my house... I may have forgot what they looked like.
Effect... super excited to see this one. Oh, and the trichs on the plants is oily. Never had that before. I feel like it could be down to the grow conditions. Maybe strain.... supchaka and fmily, if you have read this far, can you say if your headbands were oily feeling?
Like I said a few posts ago, sorry for being defensive. It's a bit of a trying time for me right now... can explain later.
And like I said before... welcome back. And as far as the powers that be are concerned, I've been convinced since early on that the wizard behind the curtain was not what he would have us think.
