Hey smoke, what size room you got there? Trying to get a handle on whether i can get those trees from the same CC setup in my 7x7x7 tent. Looks a big room w walk around space all the way round.

Room is 13 ft wide, 16 ft deep and ceiling at 12 ft.

For perspective the lowest wire that i hang the yo yo from is at 6 ft so i can walk under it.
 
How much longer?
Maybe 2 weeks or more. The mom was cut too early on day 72.

Scope said no amber.

Harvest started with the smallest #3 on day 77. (Tier 3 on nets)

Day 78 chopped #1 and #2 respectively on the nets.


#4 is still standing, cleaned her up a bit today

Great work Smoke. An a long day trimming by the look of that haulπŸ‘
 
3 years ago i would have agreed with you going with the solar panel theory.

But since then I've changed to the defoliation camp, i know my yield has increased and i think its mainly because of the defoliation where as the fourm member that suggested this trial is a solarpannelest and thinks otherwise.
Complete opposite for me. I've been scrogging and unable to reach the back row for all my grows bar the last 2. I've noticed the back row is always bigger. I'm sure theres other factors. But I started off defolating heavy. Now I I defolate after week one of flower. Then let it go. Just my 2p. Only commented so I can keep track of yours. All the best.
 
All trimming was done with a bowl trimer. 1 to 1.5 hrs per plant start to finish.
Those smallish electrical ones bit bigger than a good sized mixing bowl?
What is the brand and where did you. Get it ? Iirc the one i looked at 12 months ago ran out around $400-$500 US.

Did you taste them yet? I'm betting the ones in the shade taste better.
 
Have you planned the next grow yet? I'm starting new ones next week.
 
Haven't tasted them.

I will say however that the ones with the shade leaves did give me advance visual notice of what the plant was wanting/lacking.
The leaves are the window to the soul of the plant. Lol. Bowl trimmers suck. Hand trimmed weed is where it’s at. Plants looked great though good job. πŸ‘ Stupid machines takin all the hippies jobs πŸ‘Ž

I don't think I could get my wife to trim that much. My next crop would be ready before the old stuff got jarred.

Won't be doing another run until spring. A fellow can only consume and give away so much.

Mosty gets pressed some way shape or form. Hard to tell which one was hand trimed or bowl trimed.

Ask my wife if she likes the bowl trimmer
 
I plan to defoliate number 1 and 3 around day 21 as i normally would and just clean up the lower branches of the other 2
Well, from my short personal experience, i am not a big fan of taking off so many fan leaves. Leaves are needed to produce growth energy for the buds till the end of the flowering stage. While the plant still grows nice buds even if you take most of them off, when you take only those blocking the light, the buds are much nicer and bigger at the end.
