Yah the price will make up for $2400/$2500/lb vs $1600 but its still nice to have big colas and it look like you're doing good.

looks like more than a lb to me! and damn thats a good price for an elbow!

We'll see they're filling out pretty good for the last few days. I have more available flower time this crop and could go two more week then normal 8 weeks but I don't really want to go too long and end up with couch lock weed.

Good looking bud BB, top quality strains always seem to yield a lil less than others, always the way... Yield is gonna be respectable all the same.

Nice colours your getting on them, wonder if the buds will purp up a bit before the chop...

Cheers for the update btw :)

looks great bud bug...I really like the efficiency of light rails...thanks for sharing your garden with us

Thanks. I like the light rail but too complicate and not efficient for air flow with air cooled shades. I'm gonna redo my room next grow and not use anymore tents. I'm having two 1.5'x5' frames custom built out of L stock. When they are put into my main room they will be butted together on the 5' length side and bolted into one 3x5 foot room. I'll make the sides with either wood or checker plate aluminum to make it look like a gun/tool locker.

I also had to get a new filter today (Mountain Air) as the old one just wasn't working anymore and it started to stink quite a bit aroun the stair case to the upstairs. Re Sealed all the seams and so far no more smell.

I also started flushing right now. Will do a two week flush using OZI Tonic for the next week then water and one more flush with Flora Kleen.

Also I'm thinking of my next grow which will be a little postponed till about mid June.

I'm gonna try CNS17 and probably go with regular PK doing 49+ plant SOG. I'm gonna have to use a small air conditioner on the next one as last summer the temps where in the mid 90's inside the room. I'll also be getting a IGS or Matador Co2 controller to get things a little tighter. I have two PPM3's but I don't like the way they are wired up inside. The wires are too close to each other and could easily arc out if they become loose which I've seen happen before.

Your setup looks awesome Bud Bug nice efficiency with the light mover :D

I am going to try using a flip flop to act as a light mover using one 1000w ballast and two hoods and bulbs over a 4x8 this summer, will see how it goes. Right now I am also on day 49 of flower. How long do you veg these girls before flipping them?

Keep up the good work, I'm sure you have to put a good amount in when you harvest tomorrow! Cheers haha

Bud Bug Good, Big Bud Good (Nice Dreams ;))

Thanks for the update, please keep it up!!

LOL, I had to search what you meant :chin:...
how often do you switch them?? That must really take a toll on the bulbs and ballasts...hell it takes a couple mins after each "flop" for the light to reach its full potential (intensity).
I don't mean to be critical, from my (Electrician) viewpoint investing in a mover would be wise.

IMO your method is better than nothing (single hood centered) its probably equivalent to 400w continuous (at best) over your canopy...

I've seen people do the flip flop instead of light rails but that was with like 10+ lights where two of the lights at opposite ends would be shut off for a few hours and then come back on and them two others would shut down. Required a fancy time board.
