You tell em! MY WEED! lol. Don’t look bad at all tho. The pest stress is real. I’m going to try the lights off trick this harvest. This grow wasn’t that bad. But my bubblegum gum boy… That grass REALLY smelled like grass until a week after they were in cure.

Blue velvet 1 - 60 grams
Strawberry banana kush - 95.5 grams
Blue velvet 3 -79 grams
Grape ape -101.5 grams

Total 336 grams
12 oz
0.9 grams per watt

Sugar leaf 80 grams

Over all on a normal grow this would be low for what I would be looking for in my yields in this system, but I know blue velvet has always been a low yielding strain for me, my lowest each time I have ever ran it, so 2 brings it down a bit, and I had an aphid infestation that was pretty bad by the end but I washed it al really good.

So all in all, given the circumstances I think 336 grams is pretty good overall. My Temps were also lower in this set up than in the past so I think that may have impacted this as well. Time will tell.

Did better then I do. I only average 3 oz per plant. I keep my veg time to 30 days tho. I’m limited on space. Mars Hydro is good but I don’t think I would buy again when I get a bigger space. I’m looking at ChilLED. Its up there in price but looks beastly. The Grape Ape finished strong.

You should look into building your own light, I learned how to reading the big thread on here I can link it if you can’t find it. Huge money saver for a great quality light. I built a small 150 watt light for about 140 canadian

@Chronickyle what are using for airflow.?

I’ve built lights similar to yours just smaller, I ended using a 24" box fan placed above the lights to cool the led strips & for all my air flow. Works really well.

Variety of fans. In this tent I had an old. 6" exaust a bathroom 100 cfm exaust fan as an intake and a typical house fan to circulate. In this set up I think I should have put my drivers in the tent to increase my heat. This is in the basement of the house im building, in my apartment my setups are different and my Temps are nice and high for leds but my humidity in the apartment sucks.

Thank you kindly. I remember this one. I really want to go for the best diodes possible. I’m going to start reading.

The thing with those ChilLED pucks is they were designed to be a replacement for COBs. If you are going to spend the money on a pre-made light, go with the HLG 650 R-spec. That’s one of the better lights on the market IMO.

I was looking at the tech grow craft ultras for a 4x4 or 5x5. Still a ways off of actually getting the tent. Just planning. I’m am considering building one. $1000 is alot of money.

You will save a lot of money building a light and learning the skill allows for cheaper expansion as you increase your grow, I have some hlgs 132s. Hlgs are great lights. Not cheap though.
