Buckets are reading 58% perfect for me. This is after only 9 hours so ill check again after 24 hrs.
Filled 2 5 gal buckets to the top. Have them split into 3 buckets with a little over a lb in each one just to give them some breathing room

Buckets read 60% after sitting for 20 hours.
Let them air out for 25 minutes and then back into buckets. Going to let sit for another 24hrs and check readings again.
The buds smell so dank already.
All total about 18oz of trim/larf and 54oz of buds

Nice. Looks great too. If it smells great now it should be a real treat after a 2 week cure.

New happenings. $330 for 60 Bridgelux BXEB-L0560Z-30E2000-C-C3
$210 for 5 XLG-240-H-A ballasts. About $60 into aluminum framing. Another $60 into wagos, ip67 3 pin waterproof connectors, nema5-15p ROJ plugs, liquid electrical tape and grommets (luxury item, not needed but i think it will look cool and prevent the 18ga solid core wiring jacketing from fraying
Be about $660 into my new lights for 1200w of power
Going to replace the quantum boards with 36 of the strips and 3 of the 240w ballasts and use the other 24 strips and 2 240w ballasts somewhere. Havent decided where yet. Probably make a 2x6 panel for my multi site DWC for testing new strains. I only got them because there was a 33% price drop per unit at the 60 unit mark. Was going to cost like $270 for 40 vs $330 for 60
Also got another pH doser for a steal at $399.99 for my veg room. Super stoked to get all this up and running.
Next will be CO2 setup.

No job is complete without 3 stops to home depot.
I thought for sure I was only doing 2 this chiller move job. Nope…i measured the other day and forgot I had to add the distance on the other side of the wall to my length on the inside. About 6 inches too short. I should have crossed that measurement out cause I did add them. Just read the wrong measurement. Even dry fitted it and checked before gluing but it never dawned on me that i still have 6 inches on the other side. Faaaccckkkk. This was after I had to make a 2nd trip to pick up some couplings because I glued the male adapter that threads into my chiller and also glued the fittings on the other end. The hole is just big enough to fit the pipe not fittings.
Looks like ill have to finish tomorrow. For the best anyways. Starting to get lightheaded from the pvc primer and glue.

Blue OG was in the lights so I had to go chiropractor on it. Just an experiment on these two sativas. Moby Dick to the right didnt get broke it just fell over. These 4 inch net pots suck for these big plants. Fortunately the blue og is in a 6" netpot lid so no knocking that one over.
We will see how they turn out. Definitely not cloning these two. Took clones off the original amnesia the mint chocolate OG and skunk #1 just in case they turn out good.
Just havent had the energy to do grow related work. Working 60hr weeks at my day job the past two weeks and the two weeks before that was trim city and this weekend im working on lights.
Not expecting much this grow. Sucks cause the blue OG has such good form had i had time to train it early and the space to flip it a month ago
The 5 green crack in my veg room I will flip soon. Those got bushy AF once they revegged

Blue OG all huge…has knuckles the size of a ping pong where I bent them. I didnt think they would ever bounce back but sure enough. LITFA solves all…except too much LITFA which is whats going on in my veg room with my green crack
Moby Dick was crowding the area and was the floppiest due to the 4" netpot it was in. Made the choice to chop it and spread Blue OG out more
Before I chopped Moby Dick down

Just got a 5x5 tent from my homie for free. Going to put those 2 240w strips in there. And run that tent as a mom/clone tent.
Pretty soon my whole basement will be filled. 8x8 room. 10x12 room. And now a 5x5 tent outside both rooms

Great news indeed. It is nice to have a separate mum/clone/veg tent.

Looks great! How does it smoke?
Not my best looking grow so far…
That blue OG is turning out nice. Half that light was out for a week because the 3 pin connecters were getting so hot. Either Baudelaire or his minions needs to learn how to make a connection because those were so hacked put together I should have just done it myself…could have started a fire.

I’m sure they’re going to fill out. I know it’s a hassle when you have different size plants. I have a light per plant generally. Makes it easier to put your lights wherever you need them. This grow is going to be a little tricky. I’m going to do 4 plants in my small tent. I’m afraid I’ll end up with males.
But everyone looks happy. I know some times it’s not pretty. In the same end it comes down to the finished product.
Your last grow looked like they were growing at the same rate. They were different strains tho right?

Last grow they were all the same plants.
The 3 to the right are 100% indicas and the one to the left is sativa. I put the indicas in 2 weeks after so hopefully they finish around the same time.
Hoping to pull 2 lbs from the 4 plants.
The indicas didnt have a light for a few days.
Sure they arent going to live up to their potential

2lbs would be awesome off of 4 plants. What’s your average per plant? I got a question. You know the grams per watt on grow lights that are advertised? Is that supposed to be dry weight? And are they assuming your growing cannabis? Was very confusing.
Yeah dry weight. And yes cannabis
