Well chopped the room! Lots of pretty colors and wild aromas. Let the plants hang for 4 days at 59.6°F and 55%rH, then separated to single sticks for 2 days only change was in rH to 60%rH, then separated all the bud off the sticks and allowed to sit for 1 more day. All plants were plucked and hung and we dry trimmed. 1395 grams coming in at .6975 grams per watt. CO2 burner shit out day 20 I ordered the wrong one lol so this whole grow was down CO2. Not a bad harvest but ill be disappointed if I don't see 4 to 5lbs next harvest with CO2 and plants with a full and proper veg.

Will be posting post cure and dry weight total was 1395 grams. Comes to a total of .6975 grams per watt. Not terrible considering the co2 burner shit out week 3 of this run ordered a new one and woops it was the natural gas model lol corrected that mistake but didn't get the burner in time to finish the run, Thanks USPS hood job 5 week back order on a return very nice lol. Next run is up potted to 4gal containers and ready to rock in a couple of days. Still waiting on 2 more lights to arrive and some more uv bars. Thanks man I was proud of this run it came out stellar even though I was low on yield I still got over 3lbs on a 4x8 table so I'm happy.
As you can see I lost the table (round one had very little veg time and round 2 everything from here out will have a proper 2 months of veg and be close to 4 or 5ft tall going in. Stake em out with bamboo and let em fill right in with no need for the table anymore) I use great white myco every time i transplant and well check the root porn the plants spent 2 months in these pots and white beautiful roots busting through the bottoms. All the second round is 4ft or taller and the tallest coming in at 4ft 8 inches tall. Going to be a good run with 2 more lights some more uv's and proper co2 saturation. Ipm once a week till harvest with lost coast plant therapy as a preventative against mold and pests (like to be ahead of anything that could cause a problem). Post cure pics from round one in the Cultivists Asylum! Thanks for tuning in everyone stay tuned for more more more, its perpetual so she ain't ever gonna stop till they come get me!

Well round 2 is up and as promised some post cure pics from last harvest and a couple pics of the next round, today is day 3.
So round 2 has some added uv bars (came with the lights) I hung them horizontally across the wall, only on one side atm but about to toss 2 above and removing the lowest 2 on the wall currently to go to the opposite wall at the same height as the higher ones.
This round I also took the table away and vegged out this round the whole 2 months so the plants where a fair amount bigger then my first round in here, I also hung another light above the plants as well. This round will have CO2 enrichment as well lol finally getting the new units I ordered in the mail this week.
The post cure forlato is amazing. Smells like pungent sweet fruit and red wine, flavor profile matches perfectly. Trichome production was crazy across all the phenos but this was the keeper. The triches were ridiculous, big yielder, tall height, deep purple coloring in the bud all the way to the stem, strong flavor and smell, wicked stony head and body high, def wouldn't recommend doing anything super complex as you will be troubled trying to generate thoughts and ideas much past the fridge or couch. Stay lit n grow Insane!

Are you in a legal state? I think all that exposed wood may cause regulatory problems? Exposed wood with high humidity and heat in a basement is a recipe for disaster IMO. Good luck in your endeavors!

Yes I am in a legal state. The exposed wood has not been an issue as of yet the rH never goes above the set point more than 1 or 2% and I ipm my room on a 3 product rotation weekly. Lost Coast Plant Therapy, Cease, and Dr. Zymes. Leaves the room with zero pests or problems. No mold, mildew or bugs in there at all. I'm also only here for a limited time, upon legal retail going into effect in a few months I will no longer be growing in this space, we have a commercial location picked out and rented and will be setting up our legal retail facility. We file for licensing in the spring, im going to be coupling a craft tier license and nursery license together for year one and then going full seed to sale year 2 to be completely self sufficient. This is just the home grow that is scaled way down to emulate our legal retail set up and give us some realistic projections for next year. I recently moved to a new house and had to rebuild my room to keep growing but after legal retail hits I doubt I'll grow more then a few plants at my house ever again because I'll be too fucking busy to tend to more then that outside my facility. So I'm not worried about the exposed wood I'm not feeling like it should be an issue with the limited amount of time I'll be growing in there.
Well thought out and nicely done. Welcome to RIU.
I would paint it with some Killz just to make it easy to sanitize. So there's no place for pests or fungi to roost. My RH never really gets above 30. I'm mostly running around 10% and I even painted non-exposed wood with some Killz for that and easy wipe down of pollen.

That is actually a really good idea I hadn't even considered yet. I'm gonna look it up, is there a hardware store that has this in-stock or will I have to source this online? Thanks for the tip too btw much appreciated.

Almost any hardware store should stock killz or a similar Primer. Good luck on the commercial grow. Grow it big and grow it fast. Then sell it.

Awesome thank you very much I'm gonna go check around the local hardware stores and get some of that Killz for the exposed wood. Most likely this won't happen until I chop these plants and then reset the room. The plants are too big to come out of there now so I am going to have to hold off until the end of this round.

Day 16 and everything is looking pretty good
Headed to the terptown throwdown event in Mass tomorrow gotta leave my ladies for a couple days, gonna water super heavy and turn the lights down low on the whole place to drop the water requirements while I'm gone. Plan on watering heavy today and tomorrow before we leave. Hope to come back to praying ladies and not slouching plants lol. Tested this approach this last weekend worked really well. Plants stayed growing, pots stayed moist, I went camping for 2 days and came home to beautiful praying plants. Hope it works out again lol. Wish me luck and stay tuned this run is already huge! Can't wait to see these things really fill out!

Terptown was awesome, had a fucking Blast there, got so fucking stoned there and watched Collie Buddz kill it on Saturday night. Actually all the bands killed it all weekend. We got some new lights to check out from a local company that made the trip down, got a killer pipe, and came home to happy plants. Turning all the lights down low and watering heavy worked like a charm pots were still wet when I got home. Anyways here's a look at day 25
