Wow.

Wow.

Awesome looking plants, that automatic trimmer must save so much time and doesn't kill your hands. Great pictures, you should take a look at the auto white balance feature on your camera. You can set it so it removes the yellow/orange color from the HPS lights and shows the true color of the buds. Props and hope you keep on doin what your doin! :smokeit:

well, final wieght is ...................36 bows and 6 z's, much l, ower than i expected, but then again 1/4 of the room was longer flowering plants and i still have them going about 13 plants all diff strains.

also i cut the 39 about 1 week early, maybe a bit more, as i found 5-6 main colas with bud rot starting in the middle and we all know how that is, and i didnt want to loose my whole crop.

buds were rock fukking hard on the plant so i was expecting them to be hard when dried and i was wrong, mainly due to early harvest i believe. wish i could have let them go longer but like i said with the mold and how dense they WERE, i dont think i really had a choice.

well im presently clone hunting for something new, i made a shoutout to a few guys in my area and theyll get back to me and see what they have availible, then ill come on here and tell you guys what i can get. then im hoping a few ppl will say what is the best for me(hoping they previously grew the strain) and ill most likley get that one. i did mak an order for som nyc deisel, but no news on the clones, but he did give me 2 z's of it with about 50 seeds, all very ripe so im thinking i might start 30 deisel bagseeds just to see what i can get.

well, ive run this strain a few times, and this is how it usually goes:


10" buckets
jacks professional ferts(cheap comercial fert)
3 week veg
no c02
1kw lights

average yield was 1.5 lbs per light


this time i upgraded as follows:

14" buckets
25 day veg
advanced nutes
with c02
1kw lights



i guess i was expecting more because of bigger buckets, added co2, and better more comlete nutes.....i was expecting 40+....maybe next time

joe one quick question, but first gotta say nice job, even if it wasn't what you expected. i just was wondering when do you like to harvest, basically with trichrome color and what not. got another week or two on mine, and would like to know what you usually do. once again good job brother.

well i like my trichs amber, and i have really good vision and a really good eye for these things so with a good close looke i like to wait untill trichs are just turning amber, as i have noticed that with a good cure the trichs continue to amber up and become a better smoke not too over done, but thats just me

^^ Forreal bro lol.

Did you finally get the final weigh in with the last 13 plants included? I love this setup for the simplicity and one helluva yield. Especially considering you have so many different strains.

nah the last 13 plants were cut down at diff times and jarred immediatly with no weight check, but my guess was 2-3 lbs,

Job well done Joe.. Plants look great and the numbers you aim for brings a sense of sanity to my own personal goals. I am very impressed! :) Good luck and smash 40+ on the next run ... Bless.

As previously stated, very nice work Joe. Very cool that you are willing to share all this with us. You truly are living the dream. Keep up the great work and stay stealth my friend. Look forward to seeing your next round.

Questions... what was your feeding schedule and did you feed all this by hand? How much water per plant? Looks like you did all this on your own, how much time do you have to invest daily? Also, any pest issues and how did you avoid/deal with them? One more... Did you have mold issues before using co2? Obv I find my humidity levels rise big time when adding the co2. I waste a lot trying to keep the levels down, but feel it is worth it in the end.

Thanks again bro.

already started next round, plants are as follows:

5 blue widow----fem
6 widowrella-----fem
8 iced grapefruit-fem
5 original berry--fem

9 pineapple punch--reg

and i had made about 60-80 clones all SSH that are already planted a few days ago

and i also got about 200 bag seeds from the nicest batch of diesel i ever got, and all seeds are super ripe so i might do some this round but i think ill wait till next round, as i still got some clones that i ordered comming next week, but roughly i got half my plants planted, last run i had 140 plants and this run i wanted that closer to 100-120 to give better air movement.

i also baught 2 dehimidifiers that i need to install each rated at 70 ppd and still have a water removal rate of 25 ppd @ 60%RH, best of all they dont use heat, forget how these work exactly but they dont have a heat pump built in so no heat:)

and i also have a few othger mods i still have to make but within the next week or 2 i should have everything done and the room should be greatly improved.


another big buy is the water cooled co2 burner i plan to get, havent baught it yet but plan to get it this week. it looks like it might be tricky to install(i hate working with anything that can potentially blow me up), but i really need it cuz im tired of filling my tanks


skunklover--feeding schedule was the AN calculator, and yes it was all done by hand, couldnt tell you what each plant took, i just use about 400L per watering, so thats about every 2 days as well. i use 7 gal pots. the only pest i had was thrips, and i let them go till the harvest then i bomb the room, just to make sure. takes about 4-5 hours a day for a garden like this.

this round i think i will be changing my nutes to the good ol "jacks pro", and see the diff, AN cost me 3500$ for the last run, the jacks pro should cost me about 200$ per run, and as i remember i had better buds with the jacks pro, less weight was lost when drying.....we'll see
