Doing some final cuts. So Last time I posted I was sitting at a total of 8.3oz. I cut 4 little solos that gave a total of 1.3oz. And the Sweet tooth was 1.4. So 11oz total. I have the Glass slipper is about to go in jars, about another oz. The Chunky diesel is hanging and the headband got chopped. Should beat that ~14oz+ mark I was looking for last time. :hump:

Dang nice, skunky! Everything looks stellar!

I'm shooting for a similar 12-14oz from my tent this round, and after seeing your success, I feel confident I can achieve this too.

Thanks. Next round going to try running the others in the bags to see how that does. Both plants out of the fabric pots were more dense than their air pot sister/clone.

Some more updates.....

Well definitely beat my 14oz mark. Weighted the glass slipper again today and weighted the chunky. Still got the headband which should weight in right behind the chunky. Took down the last solo cups yeaterday. Those will probably be close to an oz, kinda hard to tell. They were all really small. But anyways. Glasss slipper weighted in at 46g, 1.64oz. And chunky was 58g, 2.07oz. So I'm sitting at 14.7oz total for right now. Headband looks like it will weight somewhere in between the GS and CD. So probably add another 2.5oz to that with the HB that's still hanging and the remaining solos by the time it's all said and done. Might still loose a little weight off the CD in cure but either way I should be right around 1lb dried and trimmed for this haul. Cannot not complain!

Here's come pictures of the room with a couple newer girls about 2 weeks or so in, the solos I cut, a picture of the cupboard currently, and the room with some fresh talent placed. Now with the cupboard pic mind you I have already given 3 ounces to a buddy of some of the Jamaican D and Sour diesel. There is an ounce or over in each of the 11 jars.


Oh and decided to give that hotshot I had lying around a shot since i got some gnats buzzing around now. IMG_0905.JPG IMG_0906.JPG IMG_0907.JPG IMG_0909.JPG IMG_0910.JPG IMG_0911.JPG IMG_0912.JPG

Great grow skunky. Was a pleasure to read. I just got my new Area 51 light and plan to get another very soon.
I just wanted to mention that those hot shot pest strips are not safe to use in your garden. The back of the package actually advises against using them in any area that you spend more than 4 hours in at a time. Several books advise against using those too. Just lookin out bro. Very nice work

Also just wanted to mention that I had gnats pretty bad once and I got some stuff called gnatrol for about $8 from my local hydro store. Only had to use it a few times and still have a bunch left over. Worked great

Yeah that's why I never used the hot shots before. I bought it a long time ago and never used it because of that. But with the constant on active exhaust exiting the house I decided to give it a shot real quick since none of the stores had anything I could use. I've already removed it from the space and it has already killed everything that was there.

Didn't ever post my final numbers over here yesterday.

Well for all of those The total was 463.7g or 16.6oz, so beat my .93g/w best with a 1.34 g/W. Of course those harvests of everything spanned about 3 weeks from the the first to last plants chopped. But I'm stoked. Probably just keep the stagger in and out due to the differing flower times. I think that will help keep the efficiency. I don't think yield would be as high had everything been crammed in there together the entire time harvested around the same time, If they even had similar flower times and that was possible.

That's going to be like a sweaty elevator after lunch in a Weight Watchers building. This should be good I'm subbed. With you're skills should be good to go,I just get nervous with a bunch of girls

Arranged the larger 4 ones in the bags to where they got optimal PAR readings, rearranged the other 3 then squeezed another 5 in. So there are a total of 16 plants in ~2gal containers..... (12 fabric bags, 4 air pots).

Hey gk, awesome harvest yield you pulled out of your flower room. I really like the way you staggered it. Just curious, how long are you jarring before you take your dry weights?

Also wanted to say thanks for your help with picking out an LED. Your posts and responses to my questions were pretty much the main reason I pulled the trigger on the RW-75s. I pulled my first harvest with them and am very happy with the results. I started a thread to post updates of my grows with these lights, hopefully it can help anyone interested in buying some RW-75s the way your thread(s) helped me. So thanks again and happy growing!

It really depends on a couple variables. One the strain, since density plays a big role, stalk size, and how recently i had watered last before chop. Sometimes it seems when they are done they are done and they stop drinking as much so if I had just watered they can be very saturated. That's one thing I need to pay more attention to in order to fine tune. Currently in a nutshell the process is water ~3-4 days before chop. Do a rough trim and hang from 3-5 days, then remove from the stalks, place in either bags or screens(something I can spread them out on) for about 2-3 days, then into the jars. I consider my "dry weight" at the point in which I can place a hygrometer in the jar and over a 24hr period it does not fluctuate outside of 58-62% RH. If it rises over 62 i wait until that's the maximum high RH point. Seems to maintain weight through cure, and adds a little weight compared to drying to a crisp out right. I like firm, no spongy but not "crispy", definitely not "powerdy" that just disintegrates when breaking up. Like a nice snap but also some body to it that when you break into it you get that "Oh it's still fresh!" type of feel. If that makes any bit of since. LOL

Makes perfect since, I know exactly what you're describing with the way you like the buds to break up, its exactly how I like mine. Your dry/cure method sounds a lot like mine but I don't put them out on a screen and don't measure the jars humidity, I just go by feel. The hygrometer in the jar would come in very handy though.

Ohhhhh Just had something come to mind for comparison. Bread! LOL So think about just general bread. You don't want it too "fluffy", but you don't want it on the verge or stall. That happy medium where it had body. Firm and shit in an inanimate sense "confident". Like a french baguette. Don't want it doughy, but don't want it like it's already been through the toaster or hanging out in the open air all week. There are layers, Nice crust, firm body with some chew in the center. Where as bud it's somewhat crisp, firm and dense to the feel but more aromatic then more pliable to some extent while manipulating. Essentially to the point the caylxs are dry, retain form as well as a little moisture so when you squeeze they seem to stay fairly consistent with minimal give. Good lord.... Maybe I should just lay off this chunky and revisit tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm making my self more clear or running in tangents. LOL

Ahahaha I get what you're saying. I would have been happy with an answer like "one - two weeks" but thanks for going that in depth with your method :lol:

Update time. Everything coming along fine. Though I believe as things are moved under or kept under the RW as opposed to the XGS the feed is higher. Next round, maybe sooner, I will be lining the walls with mylar just as a protective measure of the walls. Keep getting close to watering the dry wall, so want to prevent that other than just being careful.
