So, i'm starting a similar setup in a 40"x40" footprint. I don't remember seeing info on ventilation, I see a fan blowing on heatsinks, are you using a scrubber, and venting out, (what size inline fan). I plan on running cool , (floor level) intake fan and running a 4" inline fan in line with carbon scrubber

Always have the scrubber at the end of the lines suction. Always the first thing your vented air touches.

Yes, yes, The carbon filter is in the area, it is connected to the 4' VORTEC inline fan, that pulls air out and through a fan muffler, i'm just curios as to Perro Verde's cooling/ venting process

I have two high powered duct boosters like 220 cfm. One pushing in at the bottom 4" and the other pulling off at the top 6" of the tent. I have fans in the tent to circulate air and keep things fresh and content air moment. I filter the air twice before it leaves the room... :)

Last night was day 35 and 5 weeks in. Adding the 660NM and running them during the lights on cycle has changed the girth of these flowers. They seem much fatter at this point then the last run. It will be interesting to see this run dried and weighed out. The kb steamroller pheno is starting to foxtail like crazy and the kb face rush pheno is super dense and frosty. I may be over feeding a bit so that has been being cut back over the last couple days. The tent hits 81 at the warmest point so I may dim to lower that also. Now on with the show... :)IMAG1139.jpg IMAG1140.jpg IMAG1137.jpg IMAG1145.jpg

Last night was day 42, 6 weeks in. These girls are chugging along quite nicely, getting thick and starting to swell. They are ahead of last run at this point maybe due to healthier plants starting out, dialing in the cal/mag with the cobs, 660nm wake up or all of the above. I'm stating to lower the EC as they are not eating as much. I shut off the 660nn during the lights on cycle because it appeared to be exacerbating the foxtailing to some extent, just a feeling. Running the 660nm from beginning of flower till week 5 seemed to really as bulk to these ladies. The 365nm are running for the full lights on period now which is back to 12/12 for weeks 7 and 8. Now on with the show... :)

7 weeks in, day 49 and I'm feeling good nearing the end of this round. I didn't check runoff EC as much as I should have in weeks 5 and 6 so it's a little higher then I like. A week of a semi flush should take care of it though. The girls are getting heavy and starting to sway a bit when moved, and branches are sagging some. Feed back for the first round is still coming in with the cob grown crushing the dispensary swag and local dro by leaps and bounds. I love hearing the feed back when folks have no idea where it came from... :)IMAG1220.jpg IMAG1218.jpg IMAG1209.jpg IMAG1200.jpg IMAG1196.jpg IMAG1216.jpg

I can't break my SOG self down to try a net top my girls yet brother Dawg... 10" x 10" per plant, 16 plants in a 40" x 40". I'm definitely beating the 17 zips from last run, question is by how much... :)

That's a lot of beans to pop per run, but I want to try SOG someday. That said, I love popping, topping, LST and super-cropping. It is just amazing to see what these girls will do when you beat them up a little. I don't even panic when I break shit off any more, I just tape it up, they heal 90% of the time. Really nice looking run GreenDog.

These runs have been all clone. I couldn't imagine trying to have a seed SOG but I'm sure it has been done.

It's funny you mentioned beating up some plants. I dropped one of the pots with a freshly potted clone and it landed ass over head upside down. Being a fresh 7" clone she was flexible and didn't break. The dropped clone will be the biggest yielded of that pheno.

The next batch run will be White Berry Kush from @40AmpstoFreedom . She is Blue Bonic x White OG V2 from Karma. I have vegged the moms from clone and we will see which of the girls turns out best... :)

Harvested this morning, and this haul will be better then the last, larger plants with larger buds. I pulled 17 zips last run so we will see this time... :)View attachment 3704614

Is this how you always dry? Whole plant until ready to trim? Or do you cut individual branches off? I'm planning on doing something different than wet trimming each bud this time. I feel like my buds could smell better after the cure if I do a different method of drying.

I like in a very dry environment, so I do hang the whole plant after I cut the major fan leaves. Then I hang dry till the stems stiffen but don't break which takes 3 to 4 days. Then I cut the branches into brown paper bags and let dry till the stems snap. Once the stems snap the buds get trimmed from the branches into 2 gallon, black food grade buckets about 3/4 full. These bud are still untrimmed at this point and the humidity is checked and the buckets are burped till they hold 65% humidity. The final trim happens about and the buds get weighed and placed in one liter wide mouth Mason jars for the cure. It's a two week process till complete. The RH in my area can be 20% for weeks at a time...

I have never had buds that didn't smell up an entire room or half a house after the cure. Most patients want a few Walmart bags and drier sheets to transport a sealed Mason jar. Even in a med state the cops will harass you if you smell like that. I'm running a purple kush x blueberry cross and in flower she has a very pleasant berry floral scent unless bumped or molested. After drying and the cure she gets loud, same goes for the hashberry but her undisturbed smell is faint fruit mixed with pine tar... :)
