Another one in the can. Its so dry right now the first plant that got the axe is already mostly dry. I should have dry weights soon.

The donut screens are about three Weeks in. I will be taking fans slowly by the end of the work week. I almost got the screens full. there are a few bare areas up top, but it is still looking pretty full. I feel pretty good about this one.

Snapped a few shots at the rental. I need to put up the trellis today. The pictures suck, but the circles are swelling up nicely. Will try to get some lights off pics.

This harvest was about on point with what I have been averaging, a little lower. I only had 5 plants this time. I usually run eight in a donut, so my numbers per plant were higher than usual. I also could have vegged another week. my next ppk run is vegging. I am growing outs some deep strawberry diesel from fractal genetics. So far the are slow veggers and are not branching out as much as I would like.the might be good for my coco beds. I will snap some pics later today.

Next up for the ppk circle is deep strawberry diesel from fractal genetics. It seems like I popped these last year, they are slow veggers...I think. I have never grown anything from seed, so I really have no point of reference. All of my clones grow much faster than these. Luckily I have a separate veg room so if I decide to keep a mother from these the long veg won't really be slowing me down. They aren't branching out a much as I would like, even with the side lighting. I didn't top them, maybe that would have helped, but I wanted to get a feel for their structure before I start messing with them. I should have taken a pix when I transplanted them a week ago, but I didn't.
Anyway, deep strawberry diesel ppk circle:
And a shot of one of the dsd:

I have been taking a bunch of madness and og cuts so I can monocrop my screens at home and the circles at my rental.
I will also need to be ready to fill the beds as well as another thing I'm putting together

I think the screen donut stack is day 42ish, give or take. Everything is running smooth, blumats are doing their thing flawlessly. I did notice that I have 2 or 3 og13s on the bottom that I thought were sour jacks. Not a big deal, I get distracted at times, and I must have mixed them up.

Thanks delta, I've been buying out both local Lowes of 2 gal buckets. I need at last 36 to convert my rental's circles. I feel like I could have squeezed one more into my last circle. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keeping everyone updated. I will start a ppk thread when I get the rental basement fully converted.

I will quickly update what's going on at the rental. This is the beds two Weeks ago:

The donuts at the rental are starting to get their flush. I'm diluting the res and once its straight water the 2 week count down begins. I'm thinking I will let them go 11 Weeks to see what happens.

Bldswtrs, I appreciate the advice on getting these beds up and running. I'd like to build some sort of rack set up. Maybe its something my dad and I could do together. He was pretty enthusiastic about helping me when I was talking about how to deal with the drainage.

I have a couple mothers flowering right now that are way taller than the rest of the plants; only certain parts are developing. I've heard of people taking off buds that have finished and leaving the rest of the plant to harvest later after it has finished. Has anyone here done this? Will the rest of the buds ever really fill out, or should I just make hash with it and call it a day?

hey, great looking plants!

a lot of folks do a progressive harvest and it works if you have the time and space.

*update*
the rental's circles are slowly being harvested. I've been doing it slowly since last week and in only half done. I'm not sure why, but the buds seem to have allot more leaf, not really larf, but more leaves.
