They want to argue semantics about behavior in public instead.... A bunch of guys that got picked on as a child or something. Can't ask a question without getting pounced on. Unless your in the cool club.

Ok after given some thought those LED guys don't even deserve to be associated with my plants. Let's just say I've been growing by way of HPS?

So the batch I caught drying half way through and relocated. Either was finally just ripe enough or the remainder of time drying under 70 had a major impact. After being jarred up for a little over a day smells great. So with the new drying location and harvesting soonest not this Saturday but next Saturday we should be solid. Lights on in 45 update then.

Edit: my hygrometers should be here by next sat as well. Allthough I won't really need them until about a week after the cut.

Day 46/53 Flowering

Remember when we were younger and we thought our new tv looked just as good as it could get (whether black and white or color) and now today we have obviously out done that with 4K TV sets ect, that's how I feel about my trichomes. It's been covered in trichomes. Today I didn't notice the buds being fatter, what I did notice is some how some way it seems to have noticeably even more trichomes! Yes it done did it again!

Give it at least another week, they aren't ripe yet.

I think you'll pull more than your buddy on this one, at least it will be a much better smoke if you fall short (which I don't see happening).

Woweee this is going to kill my expectations! I wanted at least 12oz between them. I now have over 2 oz dry from the small one and you can see it above, no way I've even cut a quarter of the small one.....

Someone earlier in the thread asked me if I actually knew what I had going. The correct answer is no I really didn't have the slightest clue!

So actually after inspecting them over a bit, I think the 24hr no nutrient really did a toll on them, or maybe it's just the fact they are finishing up. They are showing all kinds of deficiencys in leaves. Buds look fine though.

The leaves tend to change towards the end, I'm sure the lack of nutrition sped things up a bit.

They look fat as hell, I'm impressed by the LED so far.. let's see the total dry weight and we'll have a verdict!

Yea I mean it's hard to not do a little barn yard math with it....I've pulled down realistically much less then 1/4 of the small one. Netted 2oz. So playing it safe say I get 8 off the small one the big one is twice as fat solid 16 potentially..... I mean I know I got bud in the eyes and time will tell but I'm pretty giddy with excitement. Knowing I at the very least achieved my needed/desired 12 is very comforting for the investment of money and time that I have made.

Edit: seeing that I have even the slightest possibility of doubling my goal and not realizing it until harvest is pretty priceless.

I also will admit I don't think it will lose much weight but I will re-weigh. After jarring up what I thought was dry weed(and still waiting on my hygrometers) it did rehydrate after being jarred. I had them on the whole branch drying, and the stems snapped and it felt dry. So I got the lid off for a bit to be on the cautious side. I'd rather end up with 2oz uncured, then 2oz moldy.

I'm honestly thinking I'm gonna have to find my oscillating fan wattages so we can see if my setup yielded a true g/watt used. Depressing thing is I'm looking at adding the chilling system.....lotta wattage....lol I think even if it yields the same the lower frequency of maintenance would be worth it.
