This is going to be a monster yield - a few pounds of dry weight I'm guessing?

Enough to keep you busy for a while! haha :D nice man really awesome stuff.
Thanks :)
I would be disappointed with anything under 2 pounds, and that is really not that much from 4x600W lights.
My aim is to get 4 pounds per cycle, which is a pound per light.

great thread! late, but here for the finale!
keep rocking it, and Bleah! them mites...hate em!
mack.
Thank you :)
The mites are annoying, yes, but they didn't breed to the point they bother the plants.
I will bleach the whole room after harvesting and spray the hell of it with need oil. Problem is my mothers are having more mites and the clones will have mites as well :-\

good thread , well said nice grow.
Thank you :tiphat:

Day 63 of flowering:
The watering is still with the last mix up while the AC and dehumidifier fill the res up as it drains.
Temps are around 22°C and RH is around 45-50%.

Everything is looking well and they seem flushed enough. There are even so purple hues on some top buds :-D

A few days ago I shut off half the lights to conserve electricity and promote ripening rather than continue budding. So far electricity has been conserved.

I also didn't have the time to arrange cuttings so the next cycle will be about a week after the room has been cleaned, which is perfect as I can kill any mites \ bugs that left and fix the AC that got stuck on a certain setting and won't change it. (for now I don't touch it as it is about what I want the AC to do anyway)

and a macro:

Barely any amber yet, and even most are still clear. puzzles me as the buds are very-ripe already.


WOW :bigeye: One word could describe those buds? - Luscious :yummy:
Coming up to the best part now.
Keep the great updates coming.
Thanks!
I will try not to disappoint you :biggrin:

Had a bit of free time so I've trimmed about half the top buds off the first tray (about 1/3 of the others just finished drying and got jarred).
They look good :)

Those buds should be enough for the trimming party that is coming soon :-D
Now I just need to pick up a 6 pack of beers, 6 pack of soda and a few take-away numbers :dance013:

We don't drink that much soda :p
The main dish is the weed, the beer is just for hospitality.

I'm thinking of getting a big screen TV or a nice aquarium for the next trimming party. And maybe a bigger sofa. And definitely a new glass piece.


You'r trees aren't shabby either, mate
 
I love your drying bed man, that gave me a great idea, thank you! The ingenuity I see on the forums is awesome!
nice pics and way to go for the trimmers :tiphat:

Packed another laundry rack full of buds this evening with the wife :-D
They are very convenient - I put a mosquito mesh over the center part for smaller buds and hang the colas that could be hanged on the flaps.
About 1/6 of the work is done. The noodles with chicken and sushi were good as well :-D

Awesome grow man.. Good Shizz. I am also planning on growing in Coco/Perlite but I'm adding a lil vermiculite just cause I have it. Any tips? You're harvest looked great.

Thanks. I wouldn't add even the perlite if it didn't came premixed, coco by itself is good enough.
For starters work with a feeding regime to the T and water at least once a day giving at least 5% runoff.
