I have a tarp down, over an unfinished cement floor. I don't over water, so the floor doesn't flood or get overly wet. I do not pull the plants out, I'm on my knees reaching to all the parts of the room hand watering, plant by plant. So no trays, they sit directly on the floor. I don't like to have my plant roots sitting in the tray with water- I just want the overflow to flow out and be done with it.
I rubbed 3-4 plants with both hands, and I didn't find any orange at all. The citrus/grapefruit smell has morphed into something different, more complex and spicy I guess- it's a familiar smell but I can't wrap my nose around it to identify it. I think I remember reading the orange/tangerine/citrus is strongest at the end of flowering, brought on (probably) by the drying period and cure.
To be honest, at this point- I'm much more concerned about the next crop already since there's not much left to do with this one except wait until they're done and chop everything down. I never worry about the good or the bad, as I've grown too many crops now to let the highs or lows bother me. And since I'm not smoking at all except to test/try the finish product, my excitement level is rather ho-hum.
So, my only real questions are about the yield factor and quality- will the lights produce enough for my needs and is the finished product better than it would have been under HPS?
You're only growing for others? Or do you prefer the edibles I've read so much about? Lol
