I didn't get any picks of week 8 or harvest but I got 33.96 oz dry best harvest too date the buds turned out very solidand have been quoted a 9/10 for quality as for the quantity it came with the density oz's didn't look big but sure weighed well, next grow has just been started.... The same as usual 11 plants 4 weeks of vege in the 1.2mx1.2mx2m should yeild me another good run mostly pineapple again with a couple earlys as lost track of what cuttings was what

The best decision I made in the last 3 runs was too use a sprayer far better uptake of nutrients and near nothing goes too waste when feeding atm I feed each day, 2 days from the top one day from the bottom by flooding the bottom roots in about 5mm of nutrient, they suck that up really fast, the problem I had with auto pots was the roots would stay submerged in nutrients and get root rot so by only giving small feeds each day it gives them an opportunity too dry out between feeds

Girls got a pot upgrade today they had no root room left, very much so looking forward too seeing how much they expand with the space they now have

That's a good result in that space, what are you using to flower? 600 watt HPS and a 300 watt LED?

Your using 2 x 600watts and 2 x 300 watt LEDs in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent over 11 plants?
That's correct, in doing that alone I managed to double my yeild and quality from what was originally 1lb or between 16-20oz too near 34oz with minimal training effort (basically just tipping the plants afew times) of which I should next time gain another couple oz with refining my methods with the pineapple express as long as I didn't mix up too many of my cuttings with this next run I'm about 5oo under take, with this run I took alot of cuttings and didn't pay attention to what was what(was stoned as hell) but now I've rectifyed that by marking each strain with different numbers of twisty tie (I would have used tags but none are available to me at this present time)

I've done sog and scrog in the past both seemed useless for my style of grow as I like to get amoungst my plants and clean any pop corn out to improve my overall heads/push those much needed sugars and groeth too where they need to be also reducing chances of mold developing lower in the canopy

I scrog in a 2 x 2.4m x 1.2m x 2m tent using 24 x 36 volt COB's CXB3590's which is 864 watts in total and got 74 ounces off 6 plants from my last run using the complete Flair form nutrients and medium being coco and perlite....hoping the 2020 referendum goes the right way:weed: Here's an image...

Nice one bro good too see another kiwi here my goal is a 1.2x2x2 when I get the space I'd most likely just add one more 600 digital and put my spare led in.... The things I could do with that kind of space, how do you get on with heat with the cobs? They look great for light penetration, I built one awhile back but a power surge killed it unfortunately hence why I went to the led panels,in one sense I'd like it too be legal makes life easy with work and all but then when I smoke I'm all or nothing (hence the debarkle with the mixing up of cuttings) but then in another sense the extra coin goes a long way tbh I'm not worried what way it goes but I know alot of good people will loose that extra income if it does pass, I personally feel that the lil guys won't have a chance at getting a foot in the door, was good too see a positive doco on the hooter with old patty g he did a good job I feel.
What strain you running?

I think your right the large pharmaceutical will dominate the market if we go recreational legal or other large companies will try and monopolise the market,
I thought Paddy doco was good too good balance of information for people to think about...I do think there will always be a bit of a black market or if you have good green fingers
distributors will still want the better quality product...The COB's are really good with heat I run the passive/pin cooled version instead of the active/fan type, been running them now
for about 3 years with no problems and would highly recommend them especially considering the gram per watt calculation..Veg time varies a bit depending on time of the year but usually
4 weeks is all I veg for...run a variety of strains been trying to weed out the non performing indoor strains..the main strain we keep using is White Rhino, but also have NL5, Money Maker, LA Confidential, Purple lightening, Orange Kush, California Orange, and Girl Scout cookie...are you in the NI or SI?

Fully agree there bro a couple people I know are quite worried for that fact alone they are voting no I'll be voting yes tho, my worst non preformer was bomb thc bomb it was crazy strong tho made you feel sick was quite the sativa, one of my favs was money maker, but top of my fav list is Dr krippling incredible bulk, kera Jack herer, world of seeds northern lights big bud cross (yum)
I've grown lots of strains over the years this is all I can find that I got in through herbies before they stopped using visa's, last time I used seedman too get the pineapple and early girl/skunk they're pretty good like how herbies used too be I used to get 9/10 orders but in the last 2 years it's more like 3-4/10 get through
Here's the majority of what I've used in the last 8years

Dehli friend was a failure both seedlings were insanely difficult to get too pop and even then only got too 100mm tall before they died for no apparent reason they had perfect humidity/temp/ph and very very weak nutes I checked with my tds meter to get them going but no it wasn't ment too be, De sjamaan purple was beautiful lovely purps through the leaves before flowering but everything hermied and through nanners just gave me trouble with pollen and I couldn't be stuffed with it in hindsight I should have kept a seed or two for breading, all hermied except one turned male and I wasn't as prepared then as I am now due to a bust we went through pryer that we lost half our equipment due too a idiot flat mate who did a hit and run and got caught with 13g of mdma in my drive way(absolute tool)

Cool..your bringing in your own seeds? There is quite a network of small growers around where I live and all have been accumulating different strains through friends, always clones though
no seeds. It's just been a time thing to see what likes the environment I have going, but subtle changes or scheduling can have a big difference in the end product, the White Rhino just seems really
consistent in flavour and technique to grow....just takes a bit longer in Veg but flowers in 9 weeks average yields but fuck it's nice..a vibrant high not a couch locker don't like those highs anymore getting a bit older and need all the help I can get at times to function! Lol Got ta love your mates aye?! Was that the reason for the move?

Yeah I did a drug rehabilitation years ago through work....got caught with it in my system so during that 26months I couldn't smoke I honed my growing skills from all my mistakes and I made alot if them tbh I think during that time I had nearly every deficiency and mistake you could make but before I started to really really grow at the start of my rehab I decided to step away from peoples crappy clones or so called strains and took a risk well it paid off would you believe, I wanted to try something real and proven and in the long run I learnt alot and every one started to want what I had which had its pros and cons. But incredible bulk was my top dog you'd feel it in your fingers and arms like a slight body stone then bam the heady high got ya was amazing for sleep and you felt ten times better after it wore off you actually had no need too smoke after having a good hit and snooze on it also had mean munchies but for me it was the perfect night smoke, I moved due to the 2008-9 recession had to follow the work and tbh I wouldn't go back, I found people mind there own business down here
