Decided this journal needs more pics you don't have to 'click' on... but don't get used to it, 'cuz it's entirely too much work to post pics this way
Pic 1: Helicopter view of the flower room at day 54 with 7 or more days to go.
Pic 2: panning down...
Pic 3: the helicopter has landed.
Pic 4: ALIEN INVASION !!! Turn away if you are squeamish!
(If You Pan Back Up Again... the Helicopter Will Rise !! )

ya, i'll either make a weekend of it... or just start at the plant tops and work my way down, across a few days, by order of completion. though i'm looking to yank about a lb. next weeked as i have a 'timeline' that i'm working with. A few of the auto-flowering white russians as well as the durban poison should be ready by then. and i'll be yanking the smallest durban poison plant today, just to get 'back into practice'.
(EDIT: so i manicured the buddies on the smallest plant / container in the room and got about 72g which will dry to about 18g. The manicured buds go right into a paper bag on 'open-weave' shelving in the clone room for drying. The buds will be turned once a day. When the outsides start to get crispy then the bag tops will be closed up. When they have reached the target weight of just over 1/4 the manicured wet weight... then they will go into jars and tupperware for the final curing. Even if every other container in the room only put out 18g's i'd still pull 3 lbs... so i don't think i'll have trouble hitting the 4 lb. mark. I'll hope for more

Well good luck. You get a nice little bit of finger hash. You planning on making any with the trimmings or are you just disgaurding them?
ya, i'll be nibbling on the finger-hash as i go, i'm sure (confessions of a marijunana-eater)
and i'll try to stash some of it back for smoking as i have already done.i'd love to make butane honey oil some time with a Honey Bee extractor. but right now i'll stick with the old 'bagging guidelines': anything covered in trichomes goes into the bag
so that won't leave much worthwhile trim. we'll see..

Solid bro!!! way to finish off strong!I'll harvest mine the same way down the road.........(EDIT: so i manicured the buddies on the smallest plant / container in the room and got about 72g which will dry to about 18g.

Sounds great man, looks like hitting your goal shouldn't be to hard!!
ya, my expectations weren't out of this world seeing how this is the first go-round with this setup... that and i had to chop about 30 of the plants... and was down to about 3 lights for 1/3 of the flower time due to a ballast problem. it'll take a couple crops to dial everything in. for example, i just over-nuted the current clone batch again (simultaneously jacking the pH way too low) but they will recover over time... just needing another week or two in the flower room to veg. once they get there.

It always takes time to dial stuff in. My current grow went from trying to get 2-3 harvests from clones, to just this one harvest. So no dialing in is gonna happen, but next time. I'll be able to go perpetual, and get shit figured out.

perpetual is the way to go man, it is very hard getting it started right tho eh? My problem is that I am doing a seed run, so everything feels like it is going in slow motion because there is room I want to fill up but cant b/c I dont have the seeds yet, o the woes of growing eh?

Looks simply awesome! Clean and healthy grow. You'll get your target yield without trying.

Pics of the drying rack would be cool.
