Second that.. 9 zips doesn't sound too bad at all. With two plants in a 2x4 and a 250w light I usually get around 7-10 zips (7 if I'm a bit slack with canopy filling, 10 of it's well filled), if I cram three in and stay on top of defol and training I've pulled 11.5 but that was just a freak strain yield wise.

SF2000 = 202 watts, 9 ounces = 255 grams, 255 grams / 202 watts = 1.26 grams per watt.
That couldn't be right. I've had much better grows than this. They say 1 GPW is very good. This grow is
probably more like .5 or .8 GPW after cure for a month.
But I did enjoy training them and watching them grow on the scrog. Think I'll explore that a bit more with my next grow now that I got my toes wet.

Nine oz from a 2X4 does not sound so bad and could easily be the variety. Hows the early sample smoke? As long as it puts a smile on your face your golden.

Thank you. I got a good buzz so I'm happy!

How did things turn out merc?
Seems this thread has almost died.
Been working in the garden the last few weekends... rain most of the day today, so... maybe have some time to do some work on the tent.

Ok, with you. Virginia Commonwealth Community as you say. Here we are. Are your pollen stocks & seeds properly stored? Do you maintain a reasonable environment for your crop to flourish all through? I like your idea with this thread. Peas

Not the happiest at the moment. Seems each of the four plants, same strain wants to mature at different times for some reason. the earliest should be about a week from now.

Whats wrong with the tent?

Despite my doing nearly everything wrong on my first grow, they did very well. But, the weather started getting cold/rainy before they were ready to harvest. This ended up giving me HUGE problems. Got Bud Rot from leaving them outside too long. Then ended up w. Spider Mites after bringing them into the garage. IF I'd done things properly, I could have harvested before the weather change and missed out on all the major issues. Just need to learn from my mistakes and not make them in grow season #2!

This shot is from right before bringing them inside.

Make sure after every rain to go out and give your plants a good shaking or if you can use a leave blower also try to get some early flowering plants like fast strains purple Trainwreck from DNA seeds I grew outdoors in DC was ready by September 15 you want it to be ready before October when it gets cold and wet . Another tip start your plants indoors and put out after mothers day make sure to harden off your plants before putting in direct sunlight leave in shade for a week then move to full sunlight.Good luck

They could be f2s most likely f1 are more stable f2 they shatter your plants will have all kinds of recessive traits from parents and grand parents f3 more stable but now the time to pheno hunt if you want to breed or reveg for clones.

Im going to have to agree...probably f2 or higher. I had that same problem last year. Im guessing you have tried moving them around in the tent to see if anything changed? Just to eliminate question of an environmental issue. But I have seen your past grows, I know that it is most likely the seed.
That one on the far left looks like some pure landrace traits bleeding thru.

I always keep my seeds in light proof mylar bags. Sealed and in the bottom drawer of the fridge. I only use fresh pollen. I am currently flowering a blue dream haze clone from a friend. Daytime temps see 83 as the high, night temps are low 70's. Im running 1350ppm of G.H. nutes. Switched to 12/12 on 4/1 rh. Is@ 56%. I defoliated on day 20.

South Central Va here. Been growing for about 3 years. I grow indoor/outdoor and greenhouse.

Close proximity, same grow (no greenhouse yet). Getting ready for first outdoor grow (indoor first too, not too concerned about those). Have very respectable past veggie (grows huge and produces huge amounts) compost mixture for photos. But reading horror stories of Bud rot as they’ll be planted direct (no pots). Summer grow but fall bringing rains & etc. Should be doing different to avoid problems? Keeping rain off problematic? Greenhouse sounding better all the time!

I've got 4 different strains going:
4 Kingdoms – Feminized – Photo - Sativa
Short Nepali – Feminized – Auto - Hybrid
Blueberry Glue – Feminized – Auto - Hybrid
CBD Critical Mass – Feminized – Photo - Indica leaning Hybrid

The two Autos are inside and I JUST transplanted the two Photos from 1-gallon fabric grow pots to large raised beds outside.

How about everyone else?

Much the same and concerned only about those outdoors (only about bud rot, being stationary). My first grow.

Just make sure you give your plants a good shake to get moisture off after storms and try to keep in full sunlight if possible the least you can have is 6 hours of full sun but if it in shade late flower watch for bud rot those autos should be finished before end of September October is when you will have problems.

There are autos but a “few” are photo. Highly regarded; Hash Burger, Blue Dream, White Widow and Durban Poison. My first. I care much in my growing of anything. Cannabis for medical and relaxing fun.
