aBout what?, you do know that 1gpw with 278w is over 1/2lb in a 2sf space, I appreciate your confidence in me but its highly unlikely buddy.

Got some quick pics of her right after I fed her, and changed the res.

I really liked them especially the guy that scrogged with like 196w and got 30.5g dry, but that is still only .2-.3gpw if it were a .5gpw he would have yeilded about 90g which is a lil over three ounces. To be honest I wouldnt mind getting 2oz dry off my harvest because this is my first hydro grow and I didnt expect it to turn out this good. I would prefer to get .3gpw which is 83g in my case, but like I said its my first time dealing with hydroponics, ph, and all the other ups and downs of grow hydro.

yea i hear you. and u growing hydros the thing. that was a soil almost no nutes used and with hydro u can expect a 25% in growth and yield. did u see his haze scrog. that shit yielded 90+ grams. with all that said, if used a small cab a little bigger then his, scroggd, hydro, with nutes of course i see you easily getting a quater lb.thats wat 112 g .4gpw. i think if u started lsting as best as you can u can see those numbers.

Yea the thing is it would be hard to clean the reservior if I had the plant in a screen and cant move the plant. I like being able to clean my res twice a week to keep my plant healthy and free of pathogens. I didnt really do much LST to this grow I just stapped stems and supercropped a little bit. I dont know how the yeild of my blue moonshine will be yet so i cant really guess what my yeild will be accuratly but hopefully its nice. I can see the buds starting to fill in and become solid and its not even in forth week of flower yet, this picture is the one showing the buds starting to fill in.

yea they look good nice and green.... were u planning on defoliating at all? if u think its too late to lst i would read into defoliation to help swole those flowers up 2x more later on in ur flowering. they look bigger then avg at 4 weeks if u ask me, imagine with some advanced technique to increase yield and some molasses would increase ur weight a good amount.

Its funny you asked about the defoliating thing because I posted this thread earlier asking about defoliating.

I defoliated alot and Its seems to already be taking well to it so far, I just checked her just now right before lights out and she is looking good. I expect 2-3days with some stress because I took at least half the fan leaves off of her, it opened her up alot for better airflow and light penetration. The only reason I took a chance at stressing her is because this strain takes stress pretty good, I have nute burned her, dropped her, forgot to change ph of nutrient batch 2-3 times and she still looks lush. All those mistakes I just listed were of course at the start of the grow and this is my first hydro grow so I expected to mess up a little at first and I did but she made it through with flying colors. The only thing I cant figure out is why are my roots a stained color?, could it possibly be my nutrients or Hygrozyme because hygrozyme is brown.

nice, i would like to see some pics whenever u get a chance. im not familiar with the issue ur having with ur roots, even though ur plant seems very healthy and a nice dark green color. that chemical ur using could be the cause. i kno hydro roots are suppose to be like an eggshell color and all but seeing ur plant is very fuckin healthy growing like a weed, i wouldnt worry to much until u start to see physical issues with ur plant. im about to start my first hydro/aero grow myself so this will be a learning experience for me as well

The roots havent been white since the start of the grow.

When I checked her this morning right before lights out all of her remaining fan leaves were pointing strait up light she was reaching for the light, most of those leaves were touching the bulbs but its cool I have so much air flow through there it wont hurt them the bulbs are not hot enough. I usually just keep the bulbs within 1" of the budsites so I cant help it if every now and then she decides to reach and touches a few bulbs and doesnt get burnt, who knows maybe this will help my bud density in the end. I got this pic below from ICMAG.com a guy harvested 90g dry from 3-42w and 2-23w cfls.

yea bro that was one of those links i sent u. now u understand what i was sayin in those pm's?!?!? thats like .6 gpw according to ur formula which i personally dont think is a bad formula its good to get a rough estimate, but if u take his specs 172w divide by his yield. it says he got almost 2gpw (1.91) (wet) but after his cure, which everyone has a diff opinion of what they consider cured which varies dry weight if u know what i mean. 2 people can harvest the smae amount wet but cure to 2 diff weights dry. dry weight is a personal thing in a way. what if the guy blynx cured to 150g dry instead of 90. that would give him .9gpw with ur formula, seeing his wet weight was almost 300g. he crushed the 1gpw if looked at in wet weight. just what he dried it to makes us think he didnt get near .6gpw.

Yea I was just posting so others could see it, and by the way I will have some new pics up in few minutes of my defoliation and my added cfls to the underside of the canopy for better light penetration on lower growth.

Every night before I go to sleep I prop my grow cab door open and add that 42w cfl for the undergrowth, then at 7am I wake up and take the 42w out and close the door, then go back to sleep. I think it will show in the end with that extra 42w. If I get .5gpw 42w would give me 21g extra, so I think its worth it lol. I like spending time with my lady anyway it doesnt bother me, heck most of the time I dont go back to sleep I either go to work or go fishing I usually am up at 7-8am anyway. I dont think I have ever mentioned that I found a blue dream seed the other day and it is most likely feminized because my bro had alot like 3lbs of it and no seeds just 1 and the funny thing is it wasnt in the little bit of shake it was stuck in the side of one of the bigger colas inside a seed casing. I was so happy to find that because I love blue dream, it is dank as hell. That is the same way I found my 2 blue moonshine seeds stuck in the side of the bud barely visible inside a seed casing, yea thats right I still have another blue moonshine seed lol. I will be re-vegging my blue moonshine and taking clones to put outdoors for this upcoming year. My friend ordered some bad ass seeds from some seedbank online and got 10 alaskin thunder fuck seeds, and he gave me three of them for 10 bucks. I have seen people grow the blue dream outdoors and it grows very well and produces pretty heavy so I think I will save it for outdoors, and maybe take a clone off of it and start a indoor blue dream next winter. I would really like to reveg my BM and take plenty of clones over a period of a couple months just keep cutting clones and adding them to my outdoor patch, that way they will all be different ages. I plan on adding clones to outdoor patches all year up until plants start to flower even after I have harvested most of my plants I will still be adding them. I have a friend that still is flowering plants outdoors right now, it has not gotten cold enough this year to kill plants so they are still growing great getting real purple because the temps still get down low here but they havent reached freezing yet this year but like once and it was a light frost.

I added a 14w cfl under the canopy as you can see it is very close to the undergrowth budsites but it doesnt get hot so its cool. I will probably be adding 1-2 more 14w under the canopy throughout the grow. I have a total of 300w now and will probably have 330w by the time this grow is over.

yo, have u been lookin at my profile bro?? i am in the same boat as u, i can fill u in on lots of info about that cuz i too have a blue dream seed. did i tell u that ever?! wow fuckin weird but not impossible. blue dream is a clone only so be prepared for folks to tell u that the seed u have isnt it like a bunch of clowns. me myself have about 31 bd seeds from all female crops over a year time. what we posses is called an s1 seed. ill tell u now when i seed is s1 u can only bare a female with hermi traits or s flat out hermi. you could find out probably alot easier then me what cause that bd plant that u got ur seed from to go hermi, becuase it will carry to the female if u ended up with a female. so say if the plant hermied cuz the grower was nute stressing, or transplanted or any type of stress would cause ur female to hermi from any stress. but say if that batch of bd u ran into stressed out very very late in flowering from old age then ur seed wont hermi until it was an old women just like its mom. the only thing that suxs is 1 bd isnt a stable strain. there can be (ive read) up to 12 diffrent phenotypes from the cross of blueberry and super silver haze ( also refferd as santa cruz haze because it was a unique phenotype of super silver haze). long story short someone crossed blueberry and that weird pheno of ssh, grew those beans and picked the one to his liking (the current bd) brought his clone around to events where it won many times, and clones were taken so breeders could have that strain. bd is a sativa dom pheno with an indica flowering time of 8-9 weeks. so me for instance could plant all 31 of these seeds loose 15 to hermis. leaves me with 15 females that carry hermi trait. some can carry it more then others and vice versa. now i would have to shoot for the known phenotype. satvia looking. so i grab the sativa lookin one and flower it and come to find out at 10 weeks its still not done, i would then know its not bd like the one that came from cuz bd flowers in 8 to 9 tops not 10. the shittiest part about the whole thing without a doubt is that phenotype = 50% genotype 50% environment. we will never know the environment of the place were the original bd was from. knowing all this isnt going to stop me from plating these beans. i suggest it dont stop u either. u could be the lucky one, perfect environment similar to the original for all we will ever know so give it a shot.

My blue moonshine is a hermied seed and its doing fucking awsome, I still have 1 more blue moonshine seed. Ok well here is a count of all my seeds.
Master Kush-40
Royal Kush-50
Blue dream-1
Blue moonshine-1
Lemon Skunk-3
Grand daddy purp-3
and my faviorate Alaskin thunder fuck-3
so thats 101 of some of the dankest strains I have ever had.
My faviorate strain is definatly real original multi-generation old OG Kush, there is just nothing in the world that compares to the real OG. I describe the taste to be like a lemon head or lemon drop, the smell is like fresh cut pine and lemon pledge cleaner, and the looks are usually very light in color and compacted, it trichome covered and very resinus and sticky. Sometimes the OG has bright orange hairs on it and sometimes it doesnt but you can definatly tell that it is OG Kush by the smell and taste, even more so than blue dream way more.
