I added the next round of 6 plants 5 weeks into flower of the first round and so every 5 weeks I get a harvest, working like a symphony
look good! 👍
you have a beautiful flowering room. this is the level I’m trying to get. 👌
so your plants are on boards with casters and the PVC is attached to that? when you need to work on the plants you can roll them around. do they fit through your door from the veg room to the flower room as well?
she looks good bud, 👍 nice one.
yep exactly increased my yield by minimum of 1oz but up to 2.5 oz per plant
yep exactly increased my yield by minimum of 1oz but up to 2.5 oz per plant, and I have a medical permit so to stay compliant i have 12 plants in flower but staggard by 5 weeks apart so not so much work overload and can get consistant harvests every 4 to 5 weeks and makes like so simple

oh and stop ordering seeds and phenotype hunting, you can do that once you get your shit locked in, what you should do is goto strainly.io and order clones from seller Inthesticks. there are several other sellers but I have ordered from him and they are what he advertises and they come clean, no pests no disease. I ordered 6 clones for 400+$50 shipping. I am telling youits the way to go because they are clones from the original breeders who made each strain, their #1 phenotype, after you get it locked in then order seeds and find your own but after you have strains you can sell true clones of to associates @ $40+ and medicine that wallowing you to prosper
how many watts are you pulling for that room? do you have it wired for 110 or 220?
I’ll definitely have to look into it. when I first started growing I grew exclusively clones until I bought some russet mites with a banana hammock. I haven’t bought a clone since. I’ve thought about it and just being smarter this time. I had no knowledge of IPM or quarantines at the time and lost a couple dozen plants.
well I am 120 i wanted to do 240 but I had enough open amps left that I didn't need to have a special power line just for 240v when I just wired two extra lines of 120v so the widow ac could utilize it too. I have for flower 2 - 1200w 4ftx6ft 12 bar custom made full spectrum LM301H EVO LED with UV and IR controllable channels, flower 12 plants, 6 plants 5wks apart so I get a harvest every month veg i have two discontinued 500 watt full spec 3 series led lamps which i veg 6 plants for two months, and have another 6 plants one month behind those 6, and I clone 2 weeks before rotating, so I have a perpetual grow of harvests every 4-5wks
and also my roller frames i built like 8 or 9 years ago and costed me about $45-$50 back then, but paid for themselves and then some very first round. they are 2ftx2ft and trellis mesh is 4inx4in so there are 36 total squares. my room is 8'4"× 7' 3", so my 2 LED lamps are 4'x6' so they cover they entire square footage of the room with only a few inches from the walls, also my lamps have light bars the wrap around the edges of the lamps frame so there are no light gaps and even throughout, so my 2'x2' trellis frames do the same thing cover entire footprint from edge to edge, utilizing every inch i can
these custom made full spectrum 1200watt samsung LM301H EVO diodes(which are the best LED diodes on the market today) with uv and ir channels are amazing for instance. I used to grow up in Michigan and I had two large flower rooms two large bedrooms and a cone/mother room. and I had eight 1000 watt high pressure sodium lights and 24 plants using these frames in every room I was averaging harvests at least 10 lb but up to 12 13 lb rooms. and if you do the math that's about .75grams per watt. and with these LED lights I had an auto flower around where I got 1.86 G per watt, and this round I feel confident I should be getting right around 2 G per watt, because those Autos were grown with the lights I'm using in the bedroom not these custom-made ones
sorry for the entire grow guide, lol. but i also do mainline training, because like I said the frames I have each trellis layer consists of 36 4-in x 4 inch squares so what I do is I make sure that each square has its own crown growing in it, and the last time I top the plant is at a minimum of 2 weeks but I aim for around 3 weeks so then when I place in flower each Crown branch it's about 6 to 8 in Long and then after it's in flour the branches are typically 12 to 14 inches long within the first few weeks and after that they either gain an inch or grow a couple more inches but then each branch is at least 10 G and up to a half ounce so each plant is ranging from 3/4 of a pound to a pound per plant and again they're in 7 gallon pots and they are vegetating for a minimum of 2 months but also up to two and a half months because when I clone them two weeks before they sit in a half gallon pot till I start rotating
I am done now lol hopefully that answered any questions you had or any question you may have had lol
I am done now lol hopefully that answered any questions you had or any question you may have had lol oh because Xcel Energy during the summer has a price increase for peak hour usage between 1:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 in the evening so keep that in mind because that is an increase of 25% to use electricity during that time. keeping that in mind my electrical bill is roughly 375 to $400 a month, I believe maybe I should check it out it might be 275 to 300 but anyways you get the idea
thanks for the information! it was really helpful. I’m going to copy it all and paste it in my notes so I don’t lose it lol
I apologize for just laying it out, but if you take anything from this is that not all LED lights are the same, get full spectrum samsung LM301H EVO!!!!!! they may cost more but they are unmatched, and you want uv and ir spectrums so you can imitate the sun, anf uv for THC production and also to mitigate powdery mildew, the uv with kill fungus,keep plants healthy which will also defend against pests too. if you cant find the LM301H EVO, then get at a minimum LM301H because anything less is like running 20% of the lights true efficacy. I went from HPS 1000watts getting .75g per watt, to LM301H growing autos and got 1.86g per watt. I ordered these custom made lights with the LM301H EVO which are 15% better, so aimming for 2g per watt this round or more
no reason to apologize for anything. it was a lot of valuable information. I will be looking into the lights and I’ve already been on strainly looking at what they have. it’s quite the selection! i really do appreciate the info
beautiful!!!!!
thanks 17 years of fuck ups and learning how not to do something has finally lead to a flawless success lol. well there are still 2.5 weeks left so I guess anything could happen lol
that’s lookin 🔥
every four to five weeks I rotate six plants out for Harvest and it takes six plants out of the vegetative room that are in frames and move them into my flower room and each plant produces a minimum of a half pound it and have gotten 13.75 Oz on a 5 gallon pot before but now I'm trying it with 7 gallon and I'm aiming for consistent 3/4 lb plants and possibly the unicorn of a pound, but every time I go to start to flush before Harvest that is when I take clones for the rounded that is 2 months away from being put into the flower room to have at least 8 weeks but hopefully 10 weeks of vegetative all depends on how long it takes the easy cloner to clone but I got a pretty well established oiled machine that is pretty hard to fuck up and best part about it I am 100% and legal with my Minnesota Medical permit because clones are not considered a mature plant so I'm within my limit
every day I swear the color underneath those crystals fade away into a snowy frost that is so beautiful that the crystal heads are creating prisms and little rainbows are forming everywhere, flawless
I know what you mean my jelly donutz pheno 2, Apple Fritter and LSD pheno 1 are all snowy like that. when you look in person the way the light listens off them looks better then diamonds to my eyes 💎
hell yeah minnesota native myself they look beautiful
don't get yourself too overwhelmed, break it in half so mistakes can be forgiven and solved before you lose to much and by doing so you can relax and actually enjoy the art, and know there is no perfect way to grow cannabis, one rule, don't get lazy and find yourself getting too complacent, to where you find yourself saying it can wait or not doing the do diligence to follow through completely with simple tasks, sure you can upgrade this, or implement that to decrease your work load, but mistakes are quick and solutions take weeks that you don't have time for,, staggered your flower room in half to have a harvest every month, and be able to immerse yourself into what you love, water by hand, gallon by gallon so your ladies provide you with all she feels, and she will reward those who chose to conversate about her needs above their own, if you chose to listen above profit
