Epsilon v2 Plan, 6g per watt goal

[DrDankHands]

Wow fair enough, it looks like much more..
Good to know it will still work even when at maximum capacity.
I can't blame you there I know the pain and strife of trimming for hours on end, I would have likely done the same, I max out at 3-4 hours trimming so good effort.
I feel much more comfortable after seeing positive results from yours with so much, I'm hoping my fridge will be able to handle it as well as yours did I will check out your diary shortly

Strains currently in grow.

Couldn't wait
This bud feels dry enough..
She's a beauty

weird how this journal just dropped dead

Hey Amsterdam, I stand by what I said about Amsterdam's weed quality, it's all down to storage temperature and UV degredation and mono terpene oxidation, unless it has been cured and stored cold and dark then there will always be certain mono terpene profiles that don't survive, the basic flavour is there, the less fragile terpenes remain, it's just science, and there just wasn't enough interest to keep putting the time in, all went well, hit1200grams, all are 10/10, very pleased.

Total dry waste from grow after being left to dry for 3 months and compressed, 150grams that's every stem and leaf from every plant throughout the entire grow, which is absolutely wild. I will likely blend it and mix into next crops soil. So technically there's zero waste.

How much g/w have y archived yourself, no way 6g/w dry is possible, maybe for really experienced grower 20y+, in hydro, max. C02, max. Ferts, and always perfect VPD, but even then not sure if it could be archived.
What was your max. dryweight per g? @GasPlease @Florida_Mike @jadins_journey @gmonster714 @Mikedin and ofc @Captspaulding who is currently inactive. Those are the biggest yielder which came in my mind, surely missing some guys..

Hey red, I have hit 4g per watt twice all information is in this thread and epsilon v1 thread, neither grow was perfect and each had atleast a 25% room for improvement I am certain I will hit 6g per watt one day with the right strain, this last crop was 6 different strains so it wasn't exactly optimized, if I paid closer attention to my watering and nutrients frequency and used all the same high yielding strain then i have absolutely no doubt at all that I could hit the target with this setup. But I'm not due another run for a good 6 months and then I won't be running fully optimised as I will be using all my leftover seeds and nutrients... But one day.
My next goal is optimising the setup for low cost inital setup, for those with limited capital and or space.

1.3g a watt is the max i ever had and this was with co2 750watt hps a bit more then a kilo in a 1,5 square meter.
and this was clean sellable weight no branch or leaves left on end product.

How many plants and what sized pots where you using? Every photon from your light that hits the bottom and sides of your tent is wasted energy and growth potential I was capturing upwards of 80% of all photons produced plus had zero branching and single stem configuration so literally the size of the footprint of the tent is all capturing photons. Have a read through the thread if you get a chance.

I didnt do the whole g/watt tracking myself. This blue cheese harvested at 935g of dry trimmed flower. I used an 800 watt light that was never higher than 65%. The guy I learned this from has a documented grow using a $49 150 watt light producing 1058g(after he had given some away) at 7.05g/watt

no co2. 24hr lights. pushing 2.6-2.8ec at highest. recirculating with 5 feeds in the 24hrs. environment monitored and in range but not super precise. gen hydro 8 part nutes.

Oof dam that looks nice, from a single plant that must have been some serious vedge time? You could downgrade your light to 300w and see the exact same results which I would highly recommend if your dealing with UK level electric prices... I can believe your man's numbers after my experience, I will hit it one day not this year but maybe next.. is your guy active online at all?

Edit: i did have the panels on at 25% for the end of the run also.

I always feed everything I don't smoke back to my soil. That is what Nature does and I do my best to imitate Nature inside. Don't fix it if it isn't broke...ya know what I mean?
