Just checked them this AM
It has been 1 week and they are still not dry.
I have tried to keep the temps up but it has been really cold around here.
Maybe another week to dry.

Final count from last CFL Harvest
After drying on rack for 14 days.
Final trim and placing in jars.
As you may notice I didn't manicure these as I only use for edibles.
Then I put into pint jars.
Total weight after 14 days drying just a smidge under 5 oz total.
This is a personal best for me on an indoor grow.
As you can see I am using the "integra" boost humidity packs.
The only thing I could find locally was 8 g packs.
Is this going to give me problems since I am using pint jars?
Very pleased with my outcome.
Looks good man! You should be able to harvest way more and way better yield with QB. I am building a DIY grow box atm. Just wondering.. is your intake and exhaust fan placed next to each other? In that case, you should get more fresh air to your plants by dividing the two. But love your grow box!

good work man looks like you nailed it for using such low watts

My exhaust is upper left corner (two fans), and intake is lower right.Looks good man! You should be able to harvest way more and way better yield with QB. I am building a DIY grow box atm.

I think I have pretty good air flow, and a small fan blowing across the canopy.

Wow. Great job Mike. We are almost on the exact same page. My cab is same dimensions and I am also about to switch to led. Here are pics of my cab. 2x3 and 4ft of height. I also used a homemade cfl light at 420 watts. I’ve pulled 6oz out of here but I’m hoping to step it up with the new led.

Thanks
I have finished my first QB grow and I doubled my yield.
Check it out
I am ready to be amazed!
So I have started my first QB grow. New HLG 260w QB, with driver mounted on the outside of the cabinet. Check it out! I had one Northern Lights mother (5 months old), and my last clone off of this mother. As you can see the mother plant is a bit tired. She was in a 1 gal fabric pot and needed...

Nice setup SoMike, who's real name is definitely not Mike . Impressive electrical work in there. I don't know if the tin foil/aluminum foil comment was serious or sarcastic.. either way terrible advice. The white walls you have will work good. Looking forward to your next grow with led. Now that you have technique down, should be a breeze with better yield.

Very nice setup, so you grow hydro, 6 plants at a time?
Must really fill that cabinet. What is your dry weight from harvests with 6 plants?
I have only done two at a time in 2 gal fabric pots.
Did you build that cabinet or repurpose one.

The cabinet is repurposed. A friend of mine found it at a thrift shop. I would like one a little taller but using a Scrog I’m not sure how much difference it would make. The fans are bathroom exhaust fans one pointing in and the other taking air out.
I usually do two or three plants at one time and I usually pull just over 6oz dried and cured.
I’m hoping to follow your lead and get somewhere near double that with the new light.
My seeds arrive tomorrow, Dos Si Do and Blue Gelato. Everything else is set so I’ll be ready to get started right away.
