Dried Weight #1

Dried Weight #1

From the first harvest, just the tops = 76.5g

Should have Harvest #2 and 3 in a few weeks. Hoping it adds up to 150g

 

[hybridtek]

4 zips?

Damn good guess, we'll see. I have 2.7 oz so far.

 

[Goats]

better late than never. subbed!

i love the cab.

 

[Invisible Rasta]

this setup is awesome! love it how compact and clean it is

 

[blynx]

Nice harvest!

Are you trimming these? The hanging buds appear to have all their leaves on them un-trimmed and I can see whole leaves in the pic of the 76g

 

[hybridtek]

thanks, Blynx. Trimmed, yes. But I keep frosty nug leaves. Not worried about looks, just my personal stash.

Staggered Harvest #3

Staggered Harvest #3

Day 78: Weighing Harvest #2 and chopping Harvest #3

Weighing dried and manicured Harvest #2: 81.5g



Before Chop #3:



After Chop #3:


Total so far:
Harvest #1: 76.5
Harvest #2: 81.5
= 158g (5.6 oz.)

I expect the next harvest(s) to be less because the buds are getting smaller. I may exceed the 1g per 1w after 2 more harvests. My light is rated 140w-210w.

 

[ReikoX]

Nice harvest, looks like some quality smoke.

 

[hybridtek]

Thanks man, loving your PC grows.
My buddy test ran a fresh nug and gave his approval. Strong stuff, rushes in quick.

 

[AJSmoker]

Nice job man! I am doing something very similar with the 48x3 watt reflector...I also notice a fair amount of stretch as soon as i flip the flowering switch on. But in veg mode it Grows them nice and compact and bushy probably the best investment ive made for vegging byebye cfls .... Also with low wattage leds like this its normal that they take a little longer to finish. mine went an extra 2 weeks compared to a 250 hps But the resin production is off the charts the IR seems to make a big difference .. keep it up mate

 

[hybridtek]

The trichs are ridiculous! Yes, maybe LED causes this stretch? I'm gonna try and pure indica to test this out. I'm about to do the final harvest next week.

Weighing Harvest #3 part 1

Weighing Harvest #3 part 1

Day 85: Weighing Harvest #3, this is part 1 since some of the other buds are not ready for cure yet.

25 grams

Total so far:
Harvest #1: 76.5
Harvest #2: 81.5
Harvest #3 part 1: 25.0
= 183 grams (6.5 oz.)

I think I have one full harvest left. So I have the part 2 of Harvest #3 and harvest #4 to weigh. I am estimating at least 40 more grams, I might end up with 225g total with a 140-210w light. That's 1.28g/watt

Staggered Harvest #4 and Weighing Harvest #3 part 2

Day 87: Chopping Harvest #4 and Weighing the 2nd part of Harvest #3.

Before:




After:


Ready to dry:


Weighing Harvest #3 part 2 (these buds were not fully dry when I weighed part 1): 18.4g


Total so far:
Harvest #1: 76.5
Harvest #2: 81.5
Harvest #3 part 1: 25.0
Harvest #3 part 2: 18.4
= 201.4 grams (7.2 oz.)

I have ONE more harvest to go. So that is 5 total harvests. I can say already that is was TOTALLY worth it giving my plants an extra month to get the mid-lower buds time to mature and put on weight. I think I may reach 1.3 gpw when all is said and done.

Some notes:

• I am using only 1.83 square feet of grow area.
• My light uses 140w in veg and 210w in flower. I took the average - 175w. I am not sure if they included the fans with this number, which would make this light even less wattage.
• I have never changed out my nutes this entire grow. I used to this but started to thin it out until I dialed it in. I keep a daily log of Ph and PPMs.

I am only using 1.83 square feet of grow space.

Staggered Harvest #5 LAST HARVEST

Staggered Harvest #5 LAST HARVEST

Day 94: Last Day, exactly 1 month after the first chop. I can already say waiting one more month was worth it. The bottom buds...the ones that we toss away as popcorn larfage, became stellar little colas. BETTER than the mid buds believe it or not, because they were their own little offshoot colas.

On to the show! PURPLE BUDS

Before, last group shots:


Bud shot, trichome porn:


AFTER:


Root Porn:

• Never changed out nutes
• Still need to weigh Harvest #4

Feeling pretty good with the results, I am guessing I will hit the 9 oz. mark. We'll see in a week or two after the final weights...

Nice cabinet and yield Only issue for me with chopping as you have is I would lose a month from a new flowering cycle, so the added yield wouldnt be beneficial if you were starting again. The LED seems to be working nicely though, and you have plenty of meds, enjoyed your diary thanks for sharing

 

[hybridtek]

Yes, agreed. Not for everyone. But wanted to experiment and since this is just for personal meds, I am not doing a perpetual thing. Just a single run.

 

[doob]

Yeah I read you hoping one grow gives you enough meds for a good while I bet it made a huge difference in end product, them lower buds under smaller lights don't do much. I have a couple jars full of popcorn I will never smoke, probably make some hash out of it
