Total Dry Weight

Total Dry Weight

The total dry weight was 3.14 LBs! A total average of a little over 4 oz per plant. The Herijuana was the winner with 5 plants averaging 5.5 oz per plant.(1.71 LBs) 2nd was the Bubblefunk with 2 plants averaging 5 oz per plant (.65 LBs) and then the Purple Kush which was AMAZING but averaged only 2.5 per plant on 5 plants (.78 LBs).

The over all success rating on this round from 1 to 10 would be a 7.

The cost of the Sure to Grow Loose Fill was too much and I didnt need as much as I used after inspecting the roots at harvest time. I will be leaving the location and system with my buddy who is taking over after I move to my bigger spot. Before I leave I will fine tune the cost of the system by getting smaller buckets, inner plastic liners and rather then STG Loose Fill I will use the Full Bucket STG inserts. I loved the STG 4 inch blocks but not the results of the STG Loose Fill. With the smaller buckets it will require less nutrient solution and less pump run times.

Here is a rough breakdown to give a cost to profit ratio.

3 Months Rent $2400.00
3 Months Electric $1000.00
Hydro System Build,(pumps,
Buckets, timers, hoses
airstones, ect.... $300.00
Grow Media about
75%STG 25% Rockwool $100.00
Nutrients GH Flora Series
(wasted alot) $150.00
pHers and other additives $50.00
CO2 Refills $75.00
Scrog stand $25.00
Forgotten extras $100.00

A GRAND TOTAL OF: $4200.00 ( thats roughly the market cost of 1LB high grade)

With 50 ounces at a market cost of $250.00 to $275.00 each this round will save my patients between $8300.00 to $9550.00

This round has left a HUGE amount of top quality clippings and separate, the other less potent leaves that will be used for edibles and hash. I use bubble bags for hashing.
