Nice! But it is totally unacceptable for you to post pics of your veg plant and deprive us of the mass bud you have on the other side of that wall...get on your job Red! We want BUD!!!

Ok seeing as you asked so nicely

I took a few of the top colas out of the middle of the plant 2 days ago and dropped the light a little, you can see the light green in the middle of the last pic, the rest will come down on sunday

This is simply AWESOME I can't wait to hear what you yield

So is that lighter green area where you took those colas from? Beautiful as usual man!

Oh, and i vote BOTH!

Yes mate, thats where i took of the colas, you can see the patch that wasn't getting as much light is a lighter shade.
When i next run a scrog i will probably take off a few more fan leaves to get more light penatration

Thanks, from a great grower like you that means a lot
I'm hoping to get somewhere near the 7-8oz mark as i need to sell some to pay for my growing costs (electric bill/nutes etc) but i still want enough left over to last me until the next harvest, i'm not a big smoker though so it should be fine although both of my lads smoke too so i'm sure they'll be around to help me get through it

you should let some of it go a little longer to see if it will fatten up. I think it will get a little bigger.

I'd like to but i dont have the time, the veg plants are begging for more room and i don't have the space to bend branchs or to to top them again

Crazy Production.... Nice... Im myself am growing in COCO first Grow im using 5 gallon pot 70%coco/15% perlite/ 15%worm casting. MD1914 recommened me here and i can see why.. i had a few questions if you dont mind. 1) I got sensi COCO Boom part A&B, is that all the plant needs in coco to fully grow healthy and productive ? 2)I water them every day, FEEd FEED plain water, fourth day i rest. then continue, good or bad?

Thanks, i really like coco, it is easy to grow with and you get good results
Not sure how much space you have but with a 5 gallon pot you can grow trees with coco
1) I haven't used sensi but any good coco specific nutes should be fine and will see you through to harvest without any problems, although you will get a better yield with a pk booster around weeks 5&6, i also used cannazym to eat up any dead root matter as well.
2) Once you have a well developed root system its difficult to over water so i dont have a rest day, i also feed every day once i'm in flower and feed to 10-20% runoff. Keep a check on the runoff and if the ppms are climbing then drop the feed strength a little until it evens out as you don't want it getting too high and locking out.
Ph the feed to 5.5-5.8 in veg and up it to 6.0-6.2 in flower, as long as you feed to runoff there is no need to flush until the last week.

Thats how i grow but i'm still a newb with only 3 grows under my belt but so far my average is 7-8 oz from each plant

These are the tops i removed 4 days ago from the middle of the plant along with my zippo for size, they have shrunk quite a bit and are starting to feel dry on the outside now but still need about a few more days before going into the jars

I took about half of the remaining tops off tonight and the rest i'll do tomorrow

Looking like a pretty nice harvest so far Do you dry in the plastic tote? I usually hang mine but think that may be a bit of a challenge this time considering they are all wrapped up in the screen and each other

No, i hang them to dry but i only have short lines so i was taking them down to move them around so they dry evenly and thought while they were down i would take a pic. I do put them in that tote for about 3 days with a humidity gauge before they go in the jar to make sure its not going to spike high as i only visit once a day and in small jars it could climb quickly and i dont want mould to form if i couldn't burp them every few hours at the start

Really cant wait to hear the bud report taste high smell all that good stuff. Might want to try out the AK48's at some point

ur trying to say you vegged for 3 weeks and flowered that monster in 7???? gtfo! I guess I can believe it though if you keep that giant root system nice and fed

No mate, from seed it was vegged for 10 weeks as i had to keep cutting it back until i had space to flower it and from flipping to 12/12 to finish was another 56 days

Ahhhh ic! Hey well regardless you got amazing results. I may just try chopping clones like 2 months in advance and let them get that super stocky/branchy build like you got. I figure that way I can be selective on what to use/cut in a very dense photo zone come the stretch period.

A final update, the total dried weight from this plant was 314 gramms or just over 11oz, not bad for my 1st scrog

Not bad at all! How much space did the plant fill? I'm a little upset that you didn't hit the magic 448 per m^2, because that means I'm sure as shit not. Regardless, epic job!

Also, hook up a smoke report!

I also have 10x feminized AK-48 seeds from Nirvana, will try them out, because your pics look delicious

Sorry for the newb question but why is that a magic number?

I actually have 0.67m^2 (2/3 m^2) of floor space and got 314 grams so 314 / 2 * 3 would equal 471 per m^2
