A little background: this is my first "solo" grow experience. I ordered six seeds originally and started 4, but neglected to water the rockwool starters enough and killed them. I ordered some more, but opted just to go ahead and run the two seeds left over, since I wanted to harvest before the holidays. I started a Pineapple Chunk and a SAGE.
(Apparently I am limited to 5 pics? I will just leave the URLs in with hopes of making them images later.)

Tons of stretch on the SAGE

Week 10
I was out of town this week and they got a bit upset, Pineapple had some deficiencies and they were a little hot.

Overview
Week 13
After week 13 the Pineapple Chunk was harvested, and almost after 15 weeks the Sage was harvested.
~
The first plant, Pineapple Chunk, was harvested about a week after my last post, at day 62 of flower I think. It was a low yielder, only 50.4g, and not very dense nugs. I think part of that was the high temps (consistent 80-85 during the day, 75 at "night").
Nugs. Roots. I am pretty sure the brownness is mainly from the Liquid Karma after asking about it. It took two days to dry, and it's been curing since. Started to gain a lot of smell back after a few weeks.
The second plant, SAGE, took another week and a half to get to where I wanted it (80/20 cloudy/amber). Holiday plans made it a little too stressful to let it ride out any longer.
During first trim.
I'm way happier with the yield with this one, and it was in general a much healthier plant. I didn't top it, and the main cola got massive. 151g off of it.
Nugs.
Its roots are still in the hydroton, I don't know if I feel like doing that again. Hydroton is a pain in the ass to get out of a root ball.
The trim pile in the last pic was popcorn nugs and some of the sugar leaves I didn't remove in the trimming before they got dried. I cut it all up to make it more like shake. It was about 19 grams, and I decided to do a WQISO run.
First run.
Second one before completely purged.
Obviously I stopped after that... I have no way of measuring that yield, but it's a decent amount.
So in total, 201g from my first run under a 400W light. I'm not too disappointed, I have a decent list of stuff to do differently next time. I'm currently starting four AK48 seeds and rethinking my ventilation a bit to bring temps down below 85.
