Looking good Homie
I bet the smell around there is getting dank!!!

Harvested! finnaly! Cheers!
Final pics before start chopping:

Now I have 54 roots to get rid.

After harvesting half of all:

Driyng (most of it gonna I gonna turn into oil to my treatment, a little bit of the best flowers I´ll keep to smoke/vaporize, I´m just letting it dry a little bit to reduce volume and spend less solvent. Lol)

Some fast dryed little buds, just to have somethig to vape. Still harsh, a lot of clorophill...

After years of waiting, first BHO extraction, I missed it a lot!

After purge with heat + vacuum, cristalized, crumble.

Thanks for following. As soon as it dryes I´m back with a little diferent setup this time (organomineral, starting with living soil). I got 20 plants and some clones just waiting the drying process to restart the endless cycle of growing.
My second bathroom turnet into a grow/drum storage, its temporary..

See you soon!

Finally, drying / sof trimm (since I´m extracting 95% of it, just cleaned the leaves that aren't covered by trichomes.
But, I don't wanna hold any scisors for a long time. It was A LOT of work..
Everything is dry, separated by strain and ready to extract,

The tent are moving to the opposite corner, gonna use just soil for somer time, hydro gonna come back in some months with upgrades too. :)

Some upgrades coming in the room too. (Not the leds yet.) Cleaning, upgrading, and making some mess.

Thats all for today! Peace!

I´m back! After harvest, running a 100% soil cycle. For now there are 20 plants, but 20 more will be added soon. Running 1600w of HPS (2x600w + 1x400w), and for flowering I’ll switch to 2x1000w + 600w with CO₂. New cooler replaced 3 fans, just using it as fan, no water.

Hey bro, thanks for commenting. It´s in the way of being packed again. Some nice upgrades, more light, less heat.
Peace!

Let´s update! Some upgrades! After that last harvest, two HPS lights were already showing signs that they would soon die and in fact they didn't light up anymore. I was forced to switch to LEDs. Most manufacturers don't make HPS lights anymore, and I only found some very cheap and expensive ones. I switched to 301H LEDs. I got 8 panels of 240w each, Meanwell drivers...

I bought a 3-meter aluminum mason's ruler to put the LEDs on so I could raise and lower them all at once.

Starting the installation:

Connected:

I transplanted the clones and now it looks like this:

That's all for today, peace!

Tks man, gonna be nice, and a lot cooler. Its almost 2000w of leds vs 2600w of HPS..
I expect bigger harverts, lower eletric bill and less AC usage, resulting in less maintence.

Pic from today, some glue for the flyies/bugs thats follow me trought the door:
