Looking good! Nice harvest! Can't wait to see what my fce4800 can do, soon!
Im very happy with it. Can't wait to see the yeild. It's down by about 20g of testers I pulled the last week or two of harvest
but still looks like it did good. Drying at 65°/59-61%. Here's a shot of one of the nugs from the Blue Dream x Brazalien which is drying quicker than the rest. Super whispy nugs with some crazy sativa effects. Can't imagine the yeild is very high from this one.
We will be waiting for the final numbers.

Ok I'm back. Been busy lately we recently found out my wife is pregnant so we are now trying to find a house in this crazy market on top of all the doctors appointments so I have been overwhelmed to say the least.
I started trimming after a solid 10 days of drying at about 65°/60%, I couldn't get it colder. Trimming took forever. I really didn't lollipop them enough and I didn't remove enough fan leafs before hanging so it was a heck of a job. Next time I won't leave that to the end and save myself the headache.
Without further ado here's the numbers:
Fire: 622.7g
Larf: 348.8g
Trim: 668.2g
So if you use the fire and larf to calculate g/w you end up at 972g/960w so 1.01g/w. Not quite as good as my first run but still more than happy with it. From the trim I washed I ended up with 49g of bubble total. 49g out of 668 comes to 7.33% return but only about 40g was between 45-119u. The rest will end up infused and baked into edibles in some form of another.
I took the bubble and pressed it on the dabpress 12 ton. 25 micron bag for the bubble and a 120 micron for the outer shell to keep it from bursting. This left me with about 32g of hash rosin. One of the presses was 14.61g in to 12.04 out for over 82% return.
Some hash pictures:
And some rosin:
Now the 4x8 is about 4 weeks into its current cycle. I've done my selective pollenation of the plants I'm interested in and started hitting them with 5 feeds a day. The 360 camera has been in there shooting a timelapse video which should be awesome when it's done!
This Balkh Hashplant x Skunk is towering over everything and has the most amazing grapefruit scent from a stem rub.
And some Guava gelato from overgrown looking great as well.
And some calyxes filled with seeds:
Now I want to get the 4x8 on a perpetual cycle so im flipping the 4x4 into flower to get a harvest in 2 months when only half the 4x8 is full.
Ended up messing up the dwc grow. Let the bucket dry out too much and she just wouldn't want to drink again...RIP buddy.
And I also ended up with a couple nice looking males that I'm flowering out in my 2x2 with merv13 filter. One is Red Baloch by Full Power Selections and the other is Casey Jones x Sour Bubble Bx1 2011. Both plants I will happily tuck some pollen away while I look for some proper females to chuck it at.
Last but not least I got a veggie garden up and running
And just like that we are all up to date! Much Love and happy growing!

Well then, it's been a while! Been very busy with both buying a house and dealing with my wife's pregnancy so I haven't had the time to be online as much as I'd like. The garden has still been growing like crazy and I've got plenty of pics to dump.
So heres a few progression shots of the 4x8 starting at day 38 of flower
Day 48 of flower
Day 54 of flower
Then we've got the 4x4 on day 15 of flower
And day 19 of flower
Gave it a full strip day 21
And on day 30 this is 3 plants of Panama Red x Wilson
And a (gdp x synergy x 9lb hammer) x gg4 also on day 30
Day 34 of flower is the last pic I've got of it. Currently its day 42 and will probably be pulling just before 8 weeks and freezing everything for hash because just after that we will be moving.

The male tent flowered out and I collected lots of pollen! This one is Casey Jones x Sour Bubble
And I've hit my upload limit for this post

I reloaded the 4x8 with some smaller plants that only had 1 month veg. Trying to finish out another round of plants if I can before we move. I Pressed a little bit of rosin out from the harvest.
My favorite strain got a nice 22% press which was Cherry Hammer x Gordon's Hashplant x Spicy Cookies (bottom right). Love the flavor profile on it. Cherry flavor with a garlic note at the exhale.
I made a timelapse of the 4x8 through flower which came out pretty cool. Not perfect, I missed a week at the end of flowering so gonna have to retry once the new spot is in swing. It's on my instagram.

Last but not least I worked on planning out the new room build in the new house. The L shaped portion is a crawl space which will likely become the breeding room and clone space. It has 2x 3x6 spaces. The main room houses a 3.3x3.3 for veg, a 4x4 for drying, and a 4x8 for flowering with plants that take long flowering cycles and the rectangle room on the right would house a 3 light sealed flowering room. Hoping to run 3x fce8000 in there. There may be some incremental upgrades before the room is actually in this layout but this is the end goal.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! Fingers crossed it becomes reality but everything's pointing that direction
The layout of the new lab looks great. man

Wow, man! Can't wait to see that new lab going!
ApprecIt may be a process where I have another 4x8 added to the mix before the 3 light section of the room is built but either way when I put my mind to something I get it done
Thank you! It should make for a great separation between pollen producing projects and the flowering room which is the most exciting part for me.The layout of the new lab looks great. man
On the topic of pollen...here's a male I'm growing out now in the 2x2:
Strain is (Durban Poison x Banana Runtz) x Vader OG by @mrcookiezgrow on IG

Washed some hash today. 45-119u trim run. Impressed with the color. Weighs 38g after pressing as much water out as I can get. Bringing it to the freeze dryer tomorrow.
