what do you expect to yield from those ladies?
I normally dont weigh, so I have no idea about the hard numbers.

More than enough to hold me over till next harvest, thats for sure. These GG X LS are fattening up like nothing I have ever seen before!

that would be due to quality breeding,trying to combine yeildy indica with yeildy sativa,thats what you get :headbange :rasta:

HARVEST TIME! :D

1 Amager Outdoor showed (very early) hermi signs 4 days ago and I retired her/him rigth away. The smoke is nice, a little late and very gentle. Really nice daytime weed. The yield s00000ked! :D

Took down my other 3 "Amager Outdoor" tonight. I suppose their's smoke are even better, so its all promising.

Spacewise these took up similar room in the cabinet as one LS xx GG. In that light, the yield is acceptable. One vegged for 2 days, the others are 12/12 from seed.



So whats left?

3 Lemon Swiss x Godzilla Grape frosting and fattening up @ day 59 12/12.
2 Royal Danes, the legendary Danish Outdoor strain @ day 49, 12/12 from seed.
1 Apollo 11 @ day 47, 12/12 from seed.

Its the Royal Danes on the right hand side, and the Apollo 11 at the front to the right. The 3 Amager Outdoor are hanging there as well.


Peace everybody!

These genes are the bomb! My plants look and smell sooooo good. Cant wait to try the smoke.

Which reminds me; Im planning to cut them down after 9, 10 and 11 whole weeks (thats a harvest every saturday from now on). To get a feel of the difference in the smoke :D How does that sound?

A few words on the ventilation as per request from Matti.

Here's what comprice the ventilation:
Fan: http://hanfburg.de/store/product_in...products_id=317
Filter: http://hanfburg.de/store/product_in...roducts_id=2132
Dimmer: http://hanfburg.de/store/product_in...roducts_id=1293
(Are these links allowed?)

I dont know why that particular filter is cheap (or whether it is at all). It's not that complicated and probably doesn't cost a lot to manufacture. Afaik it can be refilled. I've been running with mine for a little more than a year and it needs to be refilled soon. I can smell my plant more than usually. I plan on buying some regular activated carbon as available within the aquarium business. It should work fine.

The dimmer is very easy to "install", especially with this diagram:


A little flexible ducting is needed well. Fan and filter are simply ducttaped together. Everything is hung in bungy cords.

HARVEST

HARVEST

I harvested the top 2/3 of a Lemon Swiss x Godzilla Grape yesterday at day 70, 63 days 12/12 - thats 9 weeks flowering. It's a big wooping fat main cola :headbange
Now I have the bottom left, with 5 new mini-colas budding up.

I wanted to harvest some as early as possible and now im gonna spread out the rest in small harvests over the next 2-3 weeks. In the end, when its all up in the air, I might be little more clear on the connection between trich color and effect.

I transplanted the Apollo 11 into a 3.5 liter pot, since I have some new space (left by my own outdoor cross'es). The old pot was too high compaired to the other containers. I dont have the patience to mingle with CD covers under the individual pots to get the hight even... :D

I had a little test-smoke of the outdoor cross yesterday. Damn it was fine. Its the first truly organic weed I've tasted. I really liked it! :D

On a final note, I think its safe to conclude that I might need to try and finetune my soilmix a little. Check out the yellowing leaves. It might just be the normal yellowing in late flower, but I think its obvious that the Apollo 11 miss something. A the last watering I suplemented the regular weed extract with a (among others) kelp based organic 3-3-6 fetilizer I have and a little BioBizz Grow.

ICMag still cant handle uploads, so pics are hosted on photobucket.

Im gonna spare you guys of seven instances of the clever offsite-notification, so here you have the pics in medium-big :joint:

Please ask away If you need to know something.

Who What
Good grow. Very neat fan and filter. Nice dimensions. You've still got some spare room. Reflective Mylar on the walls would increase the available lighting alot - maybe you won't to avoid making it look extra splashy.

IMO The pot size height is good to stop the roots hitting the bottom. Plants elongate when roots start congregating at bottom of pot. It's good to have yellowing at end of bloom. By end of flower, plants grow for 3+weeks without nutrient. Chow for now.
