Either way that fucking tree is looking beautifull how many watts total buds?200?

buds dont think in lumens when you compare them..
If you place a cob, a sil, and your strips side by side with the same lumen output you would get different results because how they emmit the light, so you thinking in lumens is not accurate..


Thanks again. :thank you:
It is the best tree I've ever grown.

I did the math and the power supplies are pulling 312 Watts from the wall, but they are only putting out 252 Watts.

My strips are 180 lumens per watt, so I have a total of 45,318 lumens going into the closet.

I know what you mean about comparing sils, strips and cobs but the measurements are different in my closet because I have have strips all over the place.

So the lux readings would be a little skewed.
If I had all my strips on the ceiling, I would get a higher lux reading up top but still have the same number of lumens in the closet.
I probably have a more consistent lux reading everywhere in the closet but it's hard to measure sideways with my phone app.

I guess what's important for me is that I don't need to worry about my lux readings.
My strips are turned up as high as I am willing to turn them up and its not too much for the plant.
She's rubbing right up against them and not getting heat or light burn.

I added two more bulbs to the window plant, started her on some nutes, and filled the tray with solution.

The closet plant...























She's shaping up to be loaded with buds, but I don't know if I can get 312 grams?

I don't remember if I used the power from the wall, or the output power of my power supplies for my calculations of my last plant?

Your older plant is a damn record breaking yield plant!!!

Is your young plant an og kush hybrid? Or sour diesel?

That Reiko plant is awesome. Nice work! I can only hope the other is worthy

Your plant should be fine, but it won't be able to benefit from all the lighting in the closet.

Maybe I can try one of your seeds in the closet next plant.

I just remembered that it was mentioned that I could put the window plant in the closet once the closet plant is done.

I think I might do that.
I don't know how much it can benefit from the closet if it is started on the window sill but I could find out.

It would be like moving a plant from a veg cab to a flowering cab.

It's your plant now my friend! I just helped create the seeds.

Yes you definitely can do that and it wouldn't harm it at all. It would probably benefit as your closet seems to be working very well.

I still feel bad about killing the first plant.

My new closet planter is much more portable and it will be easy to swap the planters.

I don't think my closet plant is going to take as long as the last plants because everything has been dialed in pretty good with this plant, so I think she'll finish up quicker.

My first attempt worked but my second attempt was a fail.

I'm thinking that if I coat my strips, it won't matter if the plant grows into them.
There is 10" of space above the ceiling strips.

When it comes to super cropping I've found some stems crush easily and flop, others need some finesse. The ones that need finesse, I try to crush and then gently start working it back and forth until it will fully flop over. I try my hardest not to break the outer skin, although the ones that I have, have healed up. Haven't lost a top yet, fingers crossed I didnt just jinx myself!
