Playing with some statistics from my PC grow:
Total / Last 9 Weeks Total Yield (g): 56.44 / 34.71 Total Time (days): 104 / 63 Average Yield (g): 4.03 / 4.96 Average Time Between Harvests: 14.85 / 16.50 Yield/Day: 0.54 / 0.55
It's harvest time again, This time I have two Deadhead OG. These girls were a pain in the PC. They were topped early in flower, and constantly burning up leaves getting too close to the COBS. I almost culled these girls a couple of times, but now I'm glad I didn't do that.
Manicured and hung up to dry for a few days. I'm hoping for around 10 g from all this, but that may be pushing it.

Put back JLL1 after a bit of reveg and some clones were taken. Taking those two DOG this weekend already emptied it out. I have four more Afghani that I will put in there after they veg out a bit. The last Afghani that was 12/12 from seed yielded a little over a gram.
Yes I am, but I'm not too sure how effective it is. I'm always trimming, drying, and smoking in that room. A fabreeze plug in outside the room covers it up.
The OG Kush had some small laterals I'm trying to clone.

Next harvest is here. Not a moment too soon, I am almost out of smoke. These two are clones put in the PC with no veg time at all. They were about 1.5" when rooted and straight into the PC. On the left is Deadhead OG. I think I stunted her too bad by snapping her neck when she got too close to the light. Don't expect more than 2 grams off of her. On the right is Super Lemon Haze. This girl was (accidentally) topped in early flower trying to snap her neck. She seems like she will produce about 5 grams.
Finally another harvest. This is a cross I made in the PC a while back. I hit up a Holy Grail 69 female with a THC Bomb male. I called the result Holy Hand Grenade (HHG). The buds are pretty dense and smell sweet and fruity with a hint of spice. The PC is winding down now, I don't think I'm going to do perpetual in it anymore. I'm either going to do a single plant in a larger container, a seed run of the HHG, or just use it for rooting clones.
I can see shutting it down, with your storage and filing cabinets you probably don't even need to run the pc anymore, it would make a nice breeding chamber if needed, or mother/veg chamber but your storage cabinet takes care of that.
5.11 grams of Holy Hand Grenade, not a bad harvest! The smoke smells fruity and a bit a earthy spice. I wouldn't mind hunting through the other 12 seeds I made and possibly making some F2s. Continue the breeding project maybe...

It's been a while since I showed the whole PC. As you can see everything is too tall. I'm getting a lot of burning. I'll be in CA for 5 days, hopefully they manage on their own. They were being fed every two or three days. Oh and see that small pot on the right? That's an Afghani I threw in there to sex, she's a girl!
Another harvest, this one is a Dinafem OG Kush. She smells like a Kush. I already have some clones off of her bottom branches, so we will be seeing more of her in the future.
Updated statistics from my PC grow:
Total / Last 9 Weeks Total Yield (g): 82.70 / 26.26 Total Time (days): 194 / 63 Average Yield (g): 3.94 / 3.75 Average Time Between Harvests: 16.17 / 17.80 Yield/Day: 0.43 / 0.42
Next harvest is here. Critical+ 2. She didn't like me going out of town one bit. In fact most the plants in the PC suffered. She's pretty big, so I decided I would try to reveg this one. Left the bottom two buds and soaked her with high nitrogen and put her under 24/0 light.
Well, I opened up my PC to find these two girls fried. Afghani #1 on the left was 4.5 weeks and nearly died last week when I was gone. She went on the hash pile. I have clones of her in veg. Critical+ #1 on the right is 9 weeks and has been a pain in the arse the whole time. She kept burning leaves on the COBs. I think she lost a bud early on too. I dry trimmed her and put her on a screen. She was almost dry enough on the outside to smoke, but the stems still were bendy. No chance to revert her back to a vegative state.
These two survived my torture and are both 9 weeks. On the left is the reverted Juanita #1 grown before. She is also being grown in my storage cabinet right now. On the right is Afghani #3 that I put in here to sex. Of the five I started, four made it and two were males. I have clones of both these as well.
So for the time being, the PC is empty and unplugged. I have a couple of ideas of what I'll do in there next. Breeding, quarantine, and cloning are all possibilities. Until I can devote more time to it, I'm going to leave it off. But whatever I do next, whenever that is, I will update this thread.
