Just read the whole thread. Nice work man! You did an awesome job putting together those cobs. Your crop looks fantastic! And would it be such a bad thing to find a few beans in your Cotton Candy? *wink* Sub'd for future posts =)

so turns out the final yield of the big flower room was 3.2 pounds. i think i have 1200watts in there so thats about 1.2 grams per watt. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT< was going for 5 pounds.

problems with the grow:
1. organic mechanics soil!!!!!! it sucks for the roots. barely had roots touching the bottoms of the pots, where as in my other rooms using only roots organic soil had solid root balls. i don't recommend using organic mechanics ever.
2. many holes in the canopy which certainly effects yield.
3. i used a new nutrient line (roots organics) rather than nectar of the gods like i always do, and I'm just more accustomed to using NoTG

Still a very nice yield imho Thor. I'm on this "quality over quantity" kick atm. Rocked hydro for the last 5 yrs but switched over to organic soil 6 months ago. Have you grown out your strains before? I know yield is a combination of good genetics and the care they receive. Your quality looks fucking spectacular though man....wouldnt be so disappointed if I were you ;) Next run will be better for ya. Looking forward to watching

hey man! thanks for the nice words=] I've been growing these strains for about 4 cycles. but this was the last time i was going to run thc bomb and critical super silver haze. only because the clones i took I'm making seeds with=]

next run will be 4 cotton candy, 2 black sugar rose, 1 strawberry sour d, and 1 chocolate mint og. i know the cotton candy will yield ATON. but we will see about the rest of them. goal is 5 pounds or more..

@Thorhax.........Big kudos to you mane. This grow was pretty epic if you ask me.
Your use of diy leds in my opinion was quite masterful. Well done dammit!
More impressive was how you handled the question from the op.
