i think you will be happy with the final count and the super cropping you did definitely gave you a break from needing to do anything further and allowed the plant just to go hardfingers crossed. every run in this tent has progressively been heavier and i damn near broke 2lb last run. would've exceeded it if i hadn't fucked up in so many different ways. this run i'm optimistic though. these girls are dense and pretty much same maturity all the way down the plants. should be a respectable yield either way.
I'm in the same boat brother.yeah, when i do smoke, i prefer joints. can't do bongs anymore, they kill my lungs even with ice and an ash catcher. what i've read about clearex is it can also help make the buds a bit more dense, so that's really something I'm interested in seeing on top of a cleaner burning product since the love stash from last round foxtailed so hard, it never has burned as clean as I'd like. this will be my first time doing a real flush as well, have never really been a believer in flushing throughout all the years I've grown. Figure why not throw one more experiment into this run before shutting er down. Certainly can't hurt at this point, I'm literally just buying time to let the trichomes get where I want em at this point. The plants are pretty much good to go as they are now.
You've got an incredible amount of density in that room; that's the main problem I'm seeing in there; I've often got much the same issues here.fingers crossed. every run in this tent has progressively been heavier and i damn near broke 2lb last run. would've exceeded it if i hadn't fucked up in so many different ways. this run i'm optimistic though. these girls are dense and pretty much same maturity all the way down the plants. should be a respectable yield either way.
Agreed; so many factors on end weight; looks can be deceiving. Lots of little ones add up, and oil weight is a huge factor.You'll probably be surprised at the weight. I know I was. My last crop didn't look like a ton because of the smaller bud size, but since there was so many ripe keepers it really drove up the number on the scale at the end. Tied my best weight from this room near enough.
yeah, there's plenty of penetration. the cutoff you see in the front pic is primarily due to my ineptitude with the camera I have. Trying to learn photography and it's hard as shit to get a good shot with light gradients like what is shown. everything is ripening up pretty equal though.You've got an incredible amount of density in that room; that's the main problem I'm seeing in there; I've often got much the same issues here.
I would think about taking that room in layers maybe. Or taking whatever steps are necessary to ensure those bottom areas are getting sufficient penetration to properly ripen. The stage where your at right there seems to be where all the trouble begins with a tightly packed tent.
Keep on top of how high you've got them lights sitting toward the ceiling also, they need some space in there too dissipate the heat well. Don't let them get too hot. Burning up one of those expensive lights would be a difficult lesson. I'm always worried the heat sink spacing; or the airflow over them.
The footprint you've got on them really appear to match up the tent nicely. I've been running two similar units; but mine are solid end to end.

and to follow up a little on the density thing. final thoughts. my last run was stupid dense. I learned a lot of valuable lessons there. The link is somewhere around, was my dutch bucket system. that run looked super impressive until two weeks before harvest. it was super dense but that density led to so much of the final product being unsmokeable, only useful for edibles and oil, it was a wash imo. yielded less smokeable product than my first run in this tent, after over five years of not sprouting a seed. was quite disheartening.You've got an incredible amount of density in that room; that's the main problem I'm seeing in there; I've often got much the same issues here.

im pretty much sold on the rockwool system for now and I think you are too. I'm sure next run will be allot better with everything you took from this 1st round. Honestly dude, I think you got some wicked buds. If your not happy, I'll take themand to follow up a little on the density thing. final thoughts. my last run was stupid dense.

bring me one of them wedding crasher clones from @Dirtbag on your way down to pick up ;)im pretty much sold on the rockwool system for now and I think you are too.

not with us southern boys, that's for damn sure lol my ol lady wouldn't mind a nug of that. flowers look damn lethal man.
Haha I'm happy to share, Im somehow keeping a few spare clones alive for cutting when things warm up a bit. They're not happy with me though lol. I just feed them whatever the flowering plants are getting which is .9 ec of bloom and mag pro.
the studies on that are so back and forth man... i'm of the school of thought at this point that a good balanced nutrient schedule with tapering N towards the last 4ish weeks of flower is ideal. hell, the first run i did with front row ag, i ran their base two part schedule through the entire run and had excellent results. could the ladies have been better? sure. there were a lot of subprime factors at the time though and the nutrients weren't one of em imo.Haha I'm happy to share, Im somehow keeping a few spare clones alive for cutting when things warm up a bit.

Speaking of which, I think I'm sold on the use of P again lol. That's one thing that MiMed led me astray on. These things use a lot of P in flower and I've noticed far better bud growth this round than I did the last few trying lower P mixes. Dyna grow bloom and mag pro both have an alarming P ratio but it's sure working well.
