Yeah really weird. Yes Amare was about 10% higher throughout the whole grow. I’m gonna go back with the meter mid day after they’ve both been on/warmed up a bit. Growth on both sides looked pretty similar except HLG had more leaning branches due to thin stems,where amares leaning branches were more from weight with decent stem size. And hlg was harvested only one day after Amare at about 5-10% amber. Sorry these are the only ones I took before harvest

Roughly how long before harvest was this taken?

wow, ok.

sooo I'm really not trying to be rude, but is there a reason you harvested what look like pretty healthy plants a month early?

No offense taken, yes my dehu crapped out and my exhaust couldn’t keep up so I was having day/night RH too high in the 60-70% area constantly, that coupled with all the branches leaning/stacked over each other i was extremely worried about mold/bud rot. I held out as far as I was comfortable and am okay with 5% ish amber on the HLG side. Amare is slightly farther along.

Why do you say a month early?
I harvest when cloudy. Sometimes they are clear, cloudy & have some amber.
Cloudy with 5% Amber is perfect timing IMO. But his hairs did not yet receed, is that why?
When that happens i try to go as long as i can w/o to much amber. Lack of FR/IR will keep those hairs white for a long time.
Mike, whatchu about a week early as to what the strain calls for?

I hated trying to take pics since they got so tall. I couldn’t get above them at all and barely inside

Looks like you do the same thing like I do all the time. Grow trees! I have started forcing myself to measure measure measure once they hit between 16 - 18 inches I flip them only way I can keep them below the lights in a tent. Nice Bud Porn !!

Like to harvest at 20% amber. Actually will do several samples starting at week 7ish to gauge where they are at. How long do you flush? Normally go at least 10 days or til the older leaves start to fade...

Finally finished trimming the HLG side and am pretty pleased to weigh it in at a little over 2.3lbs. Amare appeared to be visibly more yield so I’d Guess at least 4.5lbs for the total weight which I’m very happy with. Was shooting for 3lbs to be conservative.

Great Job! Bars are the way to go for me.
I noticed with the Bar configurations there is some heavy side branching. In your case it shot out past the area. Almost weird Compared to single source les's or small packaged, central lighting points if thats what you're used to.
So its nice to be able to spread the bars & crank her up to 900.

I like to go up to 20% amber if need be but all cloudy with a lil amber is good for me. Unless there is a second growth spurt like under hps.
I like the earlier harvested stuff for the high & i feel there's more terps that have yet to burn off. My theory anyways & how i like it.
I'm a 10 day flusher too.
Always have white ash n clean hits.

I think wedding cake calls for 8-9 weeks. Wish I could’ve went a little longer but oh well.

Sweet !

I heard him say that his 250 a pack is validated and going to 500 before 60$ because he/they are elite (summarizing) .

Good to see the AutoPots still in rotation .

I said it because they were that early.... those plants were clearly still growing fresh buds and hadn't even began to mature yet. Its ok though, he had issues, and understands whats up.

I am a little confused. Is this a 10 count or a 50 count pack?

Copycat genetics has/had a bad rep but I got some seeds during a sale for $60 a pack when they’re normally $250. Someone asked in his live stream if he’ll ever sell $60 packs (10seeds) and he said no, if anything he plans to raise his prices to 500 before 60 because he feels his method of making S1s is so far ahead of the game compared to everyone else.

He claims to use a special blend of natural hormones to self plants with very low germ rates passed on to the seeds where STS and CS generally have a 50% herm rate
