Hey @Morgwar… Nice dry haul from your 3 by 3 tent and 7 plants.?!!
So, without the rot, nrly 16 oz … hopefully it’ll smoke well bud…
Good luck with the new grow…

Thanks man.
Yeah I’m at a point in this tent where I’m just under a pound no matter what I do to improve my yeild.
So far I’ve used different formulas of super soil, mega crop doses, 280 watts, 520 watts, 810 watts.
Temperature up, temp down, 12 hrs light, 10 hrs light etc etc etc but never quite make that magic 1lb lol.
Last things to try are scrog, hydro, co2, and IR spectrum, But I’d rather just go bigger.

Oh you are too kind oleskool!
I think I errored on the defoliating deal and will likely hold off on doing that as much.
I also don’t suggest crowding plants like I do.
I’d like to do one with just a single plant to show everyone it can make the same yield as 7 lol
I will try to get some copper f3s your way I’m just having trouble finding the seeds(hiding in my beer fridge or possibly lost to spring cleaning tornado)
I will have more soon though.
It’s going to be a chem Christmas!

Just a few more shots
On the seed run so far we have
3 copper chem out of 3
1chem star out of 3 hoping for more
1 purple starburst out of 5
(depressing for such a hyped up strain may pop em all and be done with them)2 clones of 99percents gdp
4 of my deisel
4 of topdawgs inner eye (headband x nycd)

Yeah bro @Morgwar the “trim” or defoliation was an expensive learning experience. I think I have a better understanding as to the strategy of the 3 week trim. I plan to make seeds from the heat survivors as per @Muleskinner’s suggestion for what hopefully will be super hardy plants. Your Chemdog held its own in the heat. Low yield due to heat stress but some great smoke. I’m enjoying some now!

Start drinking bro, maybe they’ll turn up.

~one half kilogrammer / sqm is a pretty decent yield. But i understand why with 200 grammers more you will try less to reach the sky ^^ We are all the same, we want to be insured to get the maximum.
7 plants will produce as much as 5 or even two due to crowding regardless of method under the same amount of light.
I think than you have something to digg in this conclusion, to reach the sky ^^
To known if i’m on a nice range or not (to evaluate sessions, comparative), i use one ratio : the grammer (neat-dry) per day, in counting all days (from the transplanting of the seeds or the rooted clone transplanted).

I like that!
Gram per days invested.
Gram per meter
Gram per watt.
Good rubric to use for efficiency!

To be honest, i find the gram per watt not so useful because i consider it arbitrary. Biased on a way, on a fews points.
By example : a (good) Scrogger than use a 600HPS/sqm versus a (good) Sogger than use 600HPS/sqm will always end in favor of the Scrogger. But the most productive of the both will be ever the sogger, he will have a yield/year difficult to challenge for the first guy. A good and an effective training in SCROG need time, and generally is made under 24/0.
The difference become dramatic if the sogger only use seeds to SOG in a perpetual and single 12/12 space.
Another thing than is pernicious, it’s the real watts in question.
On the paper i’m building a 1Kw CFL /sqm space. But this type of tool say than it’s in fact a 560W/sqm (4x140w and not the 4x250w than the marketing say).
I’m not op on LED technologies and new HPS, but i think than the drivers/ballast don’t eat really what is writed on bulbs/strips/leds. I will be very interrested to see someone digging the subject with his tools, a watt meter is pretty cheap and easy to use.
Add to it, than generally only the light is take in count. Not the active AC/exhaust/intake/pumps/ventilators etc … which will be a pain to make a ratio with it honestly ^^
On breeding (well it’s the subject here no ? ^^), the most usefull ratios i’ve found to make a yielder was the trimming loss ratio and the grammer/time ^^ That’s very personnal off course, but sometimes you have to consider than you have to use the right compass to find the North you want lol
Just a little rationnal share to push you on your very interresting projects ;o)

Soooah a little project in the works with some of my other plants fruits so to speak.
Ingredients.
12lbs bing cherries from the yard/ freezer
6cups sugar
1 tbspn powdered cocoa
1oz ak47 in cheese cloth
1gallon of water
Mix together and cook to 200 degrees stiiring for a couple hours.( Sanitizes the mix and decarboxylates ak47)
Poor into wine making jug(sanitized) Let cool to @ 100 f add ec 19 champagne yeast and bubbler.
Leave it in the dark at around 70f untill it stops bubbling. Let it clarify and poor clear liquids into another sanitized jug, seal and let sit for a few months or years.

How did these turn out ?
Oh you got anything goin on in the big bears grows and tribulations?
been impatiently waiting for a update:joy:

Well primary fermentation is complete secondary is full steam ahead.
The new stash is curing nicely
My seedlings are slow and I had a couple I culled just for being wierd.
I may start over or at least start some more
It’s been a few hectic weeks for me but I’ll have some fireworks going off before Halloween.
Heres 99s GDP, she doesn’t like the artificial light as much as the sun but she’s stacking up nicely in her 2 gallon temp home.
Things will be slow on the tribulations thread until I can get right with myself.
Rest assured I’m enjoying your grows and collecting ideas and info.
Good Hunting!

This is so cool @Morgwar! I have been following @99PerCent’s ugly GDP for some time now. I am tuned in to see how this evolves! @99PerCent and @Muleskinner are some extremely talented guys. I think @99PerCent has the GDP in the greenhouse now. The saga is fascinating!

Theyve got me beat in the cool strains/ talent catagory.
When I started on og, not too long ago, you guys were and still are the cool kids on the block.
There’s a list of you I keep, and my ears perk up anytime one of you makes a post.
Everybody that’s stopped in so far on my modest little thread (except the seed thief) is a “whose who” of OG. I am greatly honored!
Good Hunting All!!

…has the 
messed with LED screw-in/replacements? it looks like your lighting is working for you 
just fine, but am curious & a cheap f’er.

I haven’t personally but I’ve got a buddy doing a dorm room closet grow pulling @190 watts with GE bulbs, lense off, combo cool white and soft white 25/75 % and there isn’t any handicap that I see aside from some minor heat output.
I can say between his yields and others I’ve seen, it appears that great quality can be had in smaller spaces. The only potential negative i see is efficiency(energy converted to heat instead of light)
But if you don’t mind the higher Bill (still way lower than hps) go for it!!

It’s funny how alike we are lol.
When humans move on or go the way of the dodo it’ll be bears and raccoons that step into their shoes.
