- Increased exhaust capacity +105m3/h. Round 5 was 210m3.
- Extra eye on RH and possible dehumidifying factors in and out the room in order to keep it <50% during flower.

Present round 6 pics :)

Day 37 12/12

Boy are they drinking water. Since a week they need 5 liter water per day. BAC flower fertiliser is added to the water.

Buds grow every day and more trichomes are visible.

Next month will be exciting!
 
Aww no reactions? Is noone here confindent that i'll make it up to or over 1,5 GPW?

I could use some confirmation in why I might make it or may not perform well.

That would be helpfull :)

:thank you:

I have found it best to never try and predict a harvest, there are too many factors involved, but if you have a system dialled and have achieved close to 1.5 g/pw in the past then it isn't impossible. I know someone that is getting 2.3 G/pw with a V-SOG, 42 plants with 2 days veg. I personally think to achieve 1.5 g/pw you need to be running lots of plants, SOG FTW. But good luck man I hope you get it.
 
Hey HGO!

I never really understood what the diffirence is between sog and scrog. Sog must be with alot more plants.

So more plants in the same arena would eventually potentially produce more? That sounds like a great challenge!

But really I need a bit more experience before I can start up something like that. Northern Light after all is my first real seed sown indoor.

I will take your advice for future projects. For now I stick to this setup to get it lined up properly.
 
Day 44 12/12

RH 38 - 46%

Temps a bit high sometimes. Leafs close to the lamp trimmed.

Lower parts are removed before fungus manifests.

Been observing the hairs of the plants. Every plant has diffirent caractaristics. Which of those ticks would show a sertain potential of that plant?

Hmm

Next week I will water them 2x 5L per day. My moist meter pointed out the soil is getting dryer. They are thirsty!

Yeah my brother noticed it yesterday also. He pointed me that even 12 volt would burn if even a leaf would connect plus and negative.

Peace of tape would make it safer yes ;D
 
Day 51 12/12

Now I expect to yield no more then 300 gram b/c the buds are not as hard as some of my previous round.

RH ~40-45%
Temp. Bit high early this week. Next weeks will be ok.
Plants are less thirsty now.

This megaleaf of this round I will preserve for future studies

LV 38 - 47 %

Temp 28-20C

Soil temp 24C.

Soil a bit dry also. I only added 5 liter water with a bit BAC flower fertiliser. Next 12 days only rain water.

Confidence is high. I think I get 300+ gramms now :D

L8er!

PS.
Please vote for my final result predictions would be kind :thank you:

Probably the longest bud. Perhaps plant 3 got the record.

Great thread with lots of info. Im planning to do a similar grow in the future but with a sj dr80 :p Gl with the harvest, hope you get over 300 :)
 
Progression pics Day 66 12/12

RH 39-48%
Temp 18-28C

Plant 2b looks shitty and produces less weight so it seems. The remaining plants; 1, 2a and 3 look fine and produce weight!

Another 4 days b4 harvest? Or more.. Have to wait and see. So much excitement!:jump:

Thanks Mega.

If not shitty plant 2b was like that I think I could have gotten close to 400 gram. Now I GUESS this will get me little over 300 gram.

I have some improvements on my list that should get me up there with this strain.
- Use the higher nodes nr 5, 6 and 7 of the seedling.
- Better climate management via hygrostate
- A clean and desinfected start without used soil. This round started off with critters crawling in my soil.

Hi Diesel!

They have been vegging from 26-3-2011 until 20-4-2011. Bout 3,5 weeks.

Next time i'll veg them 4-4,5 weeks to get me nice upper nodes nr 5, 6 and 7. Now only nodes 3, 4 ,5 and 6 are flowering.

... Today I gave water the last time. In a few days light goes off for 48 hours b4 harvest :laughing:!
