Great pics Richi! Looks like some tasty shit you grew there.

Here's my two cents.

3 months veg! That's one heck of a veg time. But pretty incosistent with your yields. Granted I know nothing about your grow set up but I have a few pointers that I think will drastically improve your yields with that type of veg time (prolly double your yields).

Looks like you allowed the :leaf: to grow straight up during that long veg time (any topping or LST?). With this type of veg time, you need to incorporate some type of technique like LST, topping (more than you may have done), or fim'ing. This will serve to spread out those tops on a more even canopy. You can do any one of these techniques by week 3.

Next, SCROG that vegging plant. Scrog that bitch like crazy ;-). Planning a 3 month veg time with a 600wHPS for flower, you could put that screen about 6" off of the medium and pull your many tops through into a 4' x 4' space. In flower, just continue pruning anything below the screen (nice job pruning by the way).

I speak from experience with this technique and I would imagine that you could easily be pulling 8oz dry per plant. I do the same with a 400watter (with 2 months veg) and pull 7-9 zips a plant on a relatively dialed-in op.

I agree with letting the pictured plants go a couple of weeks longer. That aside, for plants that had a couple of weeks left, they look ridiculously healthy! :clap:

Not a tinge of discoloration on those babies. Well done sir and congrats.

You pull 8oz dry per plant with a 400 watter? :shock:

Hot damn!!
How do you do it?! kiss-ass

The sad truth is, I did top, lst, fim and lollipop each and everyone of those plants.

Guess I didn't get lucky, eh... :?

The White Widow has about 4 or 5 colas but they're not that fat, and they aren't looking too whitish like they're supposed to be.
The Hashberry has about 2 or 3 colas, one of them is really huge. I think she weighs at least 50+ grams.

Oh well... It's my first (and probably last, unfortunately) grow.

Wish I had known about scrog before... I only really understood what it meant when I was almost a month into flowering.



Anyway... as for dry weight. Well - Indeed a shitload of weight was lost. All the buds have dried quite well during the last 3 days, even though it's not long at all, I know.

I've put them into jars now, and with all the plants put together I have just over 100 grams.

I've already sold near 20 or 30... Can't remember.

Anyway - I'm really waiting for the 4 other plants to finish so I can flog those too. Should make for some nice smoke I imagine.

Thanks

P.S.

Getting good smoke reports from people who purchased. Even the biggest stoners got mashed after one joint lol

In case you ever grow again boss, here's the general setup that I have that pulls so much. This is one plant about 1 month into flower in a 2.5' by 2.5' space:




The LSTing and topping you did was probably fine dude. But without the screen, there is little to hinder the vertical growth, creating an uneven canopy and inconsistent growth outside of the "flower box" (i.e. the ideal range that you want you plant budding from).

Glad to hear your Hashberry is looking fat. That's a GREAT strain and you're gonna love it. :weed:

Why are you weighing this before it's dry? For future reference, you should be yielding a dry pound off a 600, especially with a veg time as long as yours. Good lookin' product.
