damn... that bar light looks hella close to me. watch for calcium def in that corner. LED output is stupid ime. still figuring it out. almost to the point of picking up a couple of the cheap gavita CMH that are available around here. will deal with the heat and save some on the power and could likely avoid the nutrient defs LEDs influence. gorgeous shot either way. you've got some massive fan leaves in there.
by all means im not an expert like you guys but for what it is worth, im with @tobh on this @Dirtbag. I had very bad experince when my shity MH came close to the top of the plant "cola's" but than again they were at 100% intensity, middle of summer and the AC decided to kick off for some odd reason at 30c

For anyone concerned about algae and other shit developing on the wool... don't be.

also you can see here another little trick I employ. When I put the delta on the slab I pull the sleeve up a little to make a wall that prevents nutrient solution spillover.

doesn't it actually help to keep the top of the rockwool more moist?
I'm not really sure to be honest. Certainly doesn't cause me any problems.
Would you care to speculate on yield? Also what’s your priority when harvesting a large personal crop? Do you fresh freeze like 20% for hash? Or certain percentage for edibles, rosin? That Crasher gotta make some delicious hash and rosin.
Probably about 10-15% goes to edibles. All the lower stuff, any bud that's marble sized or smaller or underdeveloped goes into capsules. I don't make hash anymore since good hash is made with good buds, and the return for me isn't worth it when I can buy high quality hash locally that's rather affordable.
As for yield.. I dont count my chickens before they hatch. No idea.

@tobh, I've been looking at your grow since you're in a tent like myself. How tall were your plants when you flipped?
lol too tall. every fucking time man. it's like, some subconscious rule i have to follow.

this run they were like 18 inches, maybe 2ft. don't recall exactly. will have to go back and look at previous pics and do some math to find an accurate height for ya. too tall either way.

No press action @db? Same thing regarding hash production I presume. That’s a lot of flower jars. Do you trade with buddies if you gettin stale on urs? Maybe you found your mythical strain without any need for variation? 😍😍

Nope.. no press action. I'm a flower and hash smoker.
I do trade weed for hash, 2oz for an oz. Also trade with buddies for variation. But the strain itself is indeed a unicorn that everyone wants so it's easy to trade for.

Just gotta say, I really love dyna gro nutrients.
This is a 50 gallon resivoir full at 1.2ec, 5.9ph. Looks like water, and clear as lake baikal. Mind the odd bits of shit floating on the surface lol. That'll get filtered out on its way to the 20g res.

Gave everything a good cleaning today, all the resivoirs and filters and H2O2 washed it all. Trying to slide into the end clean...
For sure using an isotonic solution to flush. Just haven't decided if I'll make one or buy one, and if so which one.

Not gonna get a video till tomorrow. But here is a dark cycle pic that kinda shows that ya, it's packed and no light hits the floor, but its not really overcrowded. Not by my standards anyway. Smell is killer in here. Can't wait to finish these differently this time going by some of Dr Bugbees recommendations.View attachment 1203614
Still catching up, sorry if you answered this already, but what specific recs from Dr BB are you going to be applying?

Instead of dropping temps I'll be keeping the temp around 25c until the end, and I'll be chopping at the end of the light cycle instead of after a dark period.. might even do a 24 light cycle before chop. I'll also be trying to get out more moisture in the first 24hrs after harvest than I thought to before.
