I’ll take a stab. Plants look stellar btw. I’ll say 77 zips. Or a little over 4 1/2lbs dried.Only a couple days left for any of you who wish to take a final stab at the weight in the room.
I was reading a thread from a guy on Instagram that grows 60-70 lbs at a time inside and he said he averages 2 lbs. a light with the Gavita's, but the range is anywhere between 1 lb and 3 lbs, depending on what strain he's growing. But still, he averages 2 lbs. per light.
Personally, I like to use a mix of strains when I make them, but it's not necessary. Indica's will lead to a serious body hit, heavy eyes and sleep. Using sativa's will initially lead to an heady and up buzz, but the body hit isn't far off. I warn everyone, just go slow initially til you know what to expect. I've had people freak on me, others just pass out. I wouldn't smoke if I'm doing them, as it just intensifies the high to outer- limit proportions. The first time or two you may mess up a little, but I promise after a time or two you'll get it down pat. The real key is to learn the proper finished consistency of the mix. If you over cook it, you won't get enough gummies and if you don't cook it long enough, the gummies will be weak and you'll need two. You can add a little more water if necessary if the mix gets too thick or cook it a bit longer at lower temps to cook it longer- everything is an approximation.
What's your total wattage in there now? I used to use one or two double ended HPS (1200 watt) that I used to use in the flowering room, I've been using the 4000 this time around (590 watts total), but I think I'm going to add in another 2 lights for late flower here once the hangers/hooks arrive. I've got 2 more lights that have pretty good flowering coverage (230w draw each) with RBW diodes. It's the Roleadro HYG05-200X10W-W series. That with the full spectrum IR/UV on my BestVA's should produce some decent results, I suspect.This is my first LED grow, before that I only used HPS for the last 35 years or so. So, new strain, new lights and new room.
In my old room, I used two 1000 watt HPS for my many grows and I averaged slightly over 2 lbs a light. But sometimes the overall weight would be in the mid 50's oz and other times in the low 70's oz and anywhere in between. My all time high was 78-79 oz.
Basically at this point, I just want it to be over and done with so I have my final number and can plan how I want to proceed. And decide what changes I need to make, if any.
Was thinking of dusting em in icing sugar? To keep them from sticking?
Have a best practice for storing them?
Can't taste it at all. I used grape. Even my daughter said no taste. I found the key to be not squeezing out the cheesecloth when straining. If you do you get more of the chlorophyll taste. You lose some material but really improves the taste
I'm also a heavy cigarette smoker... my taste is not so good.No taste is an early sign of Corona Virus..............LOL
I found with the lecithin added they dont have that oiliness to them. They are actually pretty close to store bought texture. Its really made a big difference imoI separate my layers with either wax or parchment paper, but they are placed in a tupperware tub for the fridge.
Looking like they are stacking pretty hard and very dense... gonna be honest. It's not going to shock me if you hit 2g per watt... just sayingHere's a pic I took today of one side of the room for another site.......... 13 more days to build weight and finish up. Things will slowly start to brown and curl as they finish- the pic's normally aren't as pretty as earlier when they were lush and deep green. I'm going to try and hold off cutting anything until day 70, as long as they remain healthy with no signs of degrading.

4*4 space?
Still won't be shocked... im still leaning about 82.That's never going to happen.............I've spent a lot of recent time looking at other's LED grows- some with the Gavita's, others with all the competing brands out there. It's a rare occasion I was able to find anyone to hit the 2 gram/watt numbers. RARE! Most were/are well below that, with people happy just to hit 1.3. And they were super excited to hit 1.5. And some of the rooms were as equally impressive as mine (or almost).
It seems the top producers were able to manage their canopy the best...........and their cola size was quite a bit larger than anything in my room. With 13 days to go, things will continue to fill out, and I'm not discounting my grow in any way- I'm very happy where I'm at while rounding the final turn- it's just these high numbers just seem so far out of reach.
