dude! that looks great! you fill that net up and ur gonna see that 17 oz, lol, and you can make hash with the other half pound/pound you will get like i did. ur gonna need more jars taz.

[Tazard]

I sure hope you are right because me and the wife need about 20oz every 100days.

NebulaHazeSiriusFourside If I do get more than 50g or so per plant I owe GWE and this forum for everything I have read. Everything I have tried is a result of the great value of information shared here. Special thanks to Nebula Haze and Sirius Fourside for maintaining growweedeasy.com in a simple and reference-able format. And thanks to everyone that takes the time to post for others to learn.

Thanks,

25 sq ft of canopy under 1000w will produce avg 1.5 lbs. every 4 months about. might consider 2 4×4s with 600w guns in em, as you can harvest a pound every 60-90 days.
err to the lower side with ur nutes
keep that big light 18 inches minimum off ur tops
check ph daily
defol for light and air
ur gonna get ur harvest dude.

I am defoiling almost daily. I super crop regularly to stimulate lower branches. Acid Dough "B&C" have 13 arms at net level between the 2. Acid Dough "A" is a monster with 10 at net level (Acid Dough's seeds started (seed to water) 6/14 - 4w tomorrow). The others are 3w older and would need abacus to count branches (branches will be culled to 1 per square in flower). I really don't know what to expect LOL I told the wife to get
48 jars (based on your advice).

I have a 2x2 coming and 2-300w LED's plan to take clone at 3w into flower (culling) veg 4 in lil tent for 6-7w till moms finish, move to 4x4 trellis, rinse and repeat.

Except I want to try reveg these after flower. If that works I will probably have to either flower the babies or kill em and reclone at 3w flower.

Spent most of the day pruning and defoliating to prepare for flowering.

[intergalactic_harvester]

they lookin great taz,
so ur finding out defol never ends with scrog, lol. i love it but i remember last time i was so happy come week 6 of bloom and i could sit back n relax. a week later im bored to shit waiting for them to finish! hahaha!
im about to start goin thru and supercrop one more time. probly take me the whole coming week to finish, lol. have a good one taz

[Tazard]

OMG you are so right. Seems nonstop. The wife asks what I do in there so long. I tell her I'm watching grass grow!

I go 12/12 Monday, looking at screen do you think I can fill most of it up?

[Tazard]

Oops any ideas?????????

[Tazard]

intergalactic_harvester His method was FIM and 4way LST. I have only one 4way FIM as I felt it took to long to recover so I topped the next 7 (also above 3rd node) they each have 2-4 heads. I then read an article on super Cropping and tried on 2 they went crazy and quickly grew 7 heads. I then experimented further and performed super crop on the other 2 until the stem above the 3rd node was mush. However, I did not bend the top. They quickly developed 7 heads although the main top was still dominate. On those two I have continued this method. They are only 8"(and 5w from seed to water on 7/19) tall but they each are 14" in diameter and I find that if I don't defoliate it continues to grow wider from the bottom as the lower branches seek light. When the branch makes it to a new hole I let it come through and provide shade for the others.

The girls of been drinking 3 gallons of water every day and the part per million has remained constant (+\-50) before water is added so I've been adding back nuted water. I am at 780ppm with pH of 5.8. The house-garden nutes with supplements really are worth the $55 per 14w cycle. I still add Calmag plus at 1/4 stgrength (I was adding at half strength but it has so much nitrogen with the HG nutes I was getting burnt tips) my tap water is only 180ppm oh and of course hydroguard full strength (2ml/g).
been defoliating and pruning.

9fingerleafs found this on one of my assumed feminized sour diesels.

[9fingerleafs]

wow... very nice and healthy, some strains like blackjack have even 13 fingers

[intergalactic_harvester]

wow! thats really cool! mad fingers, lol

[Tazard]

Thanks guys lol.

[Tazard]

7/26 I had an area running around 3" short rather than pulling down 3/4 of the grow I'm going to try opening up the area.

[intergalactic_harvester]

lookin good dude.
you can also defol the 3/4 hard, might let the 1/4 catch up in a few days.

[Tazard]

Awesome thanks! When in flower is it to late to defoliate? Tomorrow will begin week 3.

[intergalactic_harvester]

just finished week 3. wont go this hard again, but still have 2 more weeks of leaf production.

[Tazard]

Great thanks. Today begins week 3 for me.
So you're in a 4x4 too and have 250-300 tops so there is no spacing between them? I'm learning.

[intergalactic_harvester]

actually 5×5. 1000w is a lil too much for 4×4. cant imagine trying to control temps in a 4×4 with guns that big. took me most of the whole 1st grow to truly get it under control.
you can pretty safely defol the shit out of em to week 4 bloom, as long as they healthy and growing fast already. i kinda stalled myself out a bit stripping them down so hard after giving them hot nutes the week before. not really a bad thing tho, with 100% light penetration for a few extra days my flowers are developing nicely all the way down to the screen. plus, im so close to running out of headroom... im using every trick i know to keep them nodes tight and canopy low without stunting or weakening my yield.
im week 4.5 , i have 25 sq ft of canopy that is 16" deep at the moment. i have 10 to 14 days before upward movement about comes to a stop, and i only have 6" of rope left on my light hangers. plus my light is only 16" off the canopy and id be much more comfortable with 20" or MORE, lol. hopefully i can get a few inches back with the 2nd screen.

[Tazard]

My light is cooled with A/C on a closed loop 😉 I can run as low as 72 in tent if I cranked up the exhaust and light cooling blowers. Winter may be a challenge lol. I can lower the light to 20" (26" now) and get 85k lux at 77 degrees. Temp probe is at canopy. This winter if heat is a problem I will dial it back to 600w and add 2 300w LED's. Oh I run it on super lumens now too not 1000 lol.

So back to the tops. 250/25=10 139/16=8.7 so I am less crowded. I guess I'm just worried that there won't be room around colas.

[Tazard]

Smells so nice!

[Tazard]

Well so much for the idea that males show before the females and also my hopes that I had feminized bagseed. Found and removed a male last night. Just found another.

[Tazard]

I guess the good in all is 1 caught early and 2 between the two they only had 13 heads.

[alltatup]

Job well done, Tazard!! Keep your eyes peeled for any more males and get those bastards out of there!!!!!

[Tazard]

Yes this is one time when I agree with kill all the males.
