Starting week 4 of flower, no issues to speak of and coming along strong. The Veg girls are happy and healthy as well.

[Obi-Wan]

The Veg girls a bit tired after training.

[Obi-Wan]

Starting week 5 of flower, this is roughly the halfway point of flowering so I did a 24 hr. flush with Dyna-ZYME and dropped the nutrient solution from 1.8 to 1.6 EC.

The clones in Veg are coming along strong. Each main branch was topped a second time and trimmed back to only the 2 remaining growth tips. This is very similar to the Quad-lining Method, with perhaps a more aggressive approach to pruning. As I am running a perpetual grow timing is key so with about 4-5 weeks left before these clones are flipped to 12/12, the extreme nature of the pruning is meant to purposely slow the girls down.

A few pics with the lights off.

Looking nice. What size tent?

[Obi-Wan]

It’s a 3x3 with a 400w HID.

[Spidermite]

Very pretty picture.

Starting week 6 of flower, pistils are starting to brown/curl in and the frost is starting to spread. EC is now set at 1.4.

The Veg girls bounced back from their training a bit quicker than I expected so I super cropped every main in an effort to slow them down again.

[Obi-Wan]

Starting week 7 of flower with about 2-3 weeks left, trichomes are still 90% clear so it really just depends on how quickly they turn cloudy. Some of the leaves are just barely starting to turn a lighter shade of green so I set EC at 1.2 for this week.

The 4 plants in Veg bounced back from their training again and are doing well. They got a good pruning today but it will just be minor trimming until just before the flip.

That tent is full of healthy plants way to grow obi-wan

[Spidermite]

Very nice plants

[Obi-Wan]

Starting week 8 of flower. The plants are slowly leaching nutrients and the trichomes are developing on schedule for a harvest a week from today. The EC gradually dropped from 1.2 to 1.0 with water only top offs of the reservoir. I will leave the reservoir as is until Thursday at which point I will switch to water only for the final 4 days.

The Veg girls are progressing on schedule as well, they put on 4 new nodes over the last week and will be ready for their flip to 12/12.

the force is strong with you my friend, looking great

[Obi-Wan]

Harvest day has arrived.

[Obi-Wan]

The harvest took about 7 days to dry. I’m starting the cure in these plastic bins, 1 night with the lids on and the humidity was 72%. I’ll leave the lids off for 6 hours, cover them back up for the night and check them again in the morning. Once they hold at 62% over night I’ll jar them up.

[Obi-Wan]

The final round of flowering started 7 days ago. Here they are on flip day.

[Obi-Wan]

Here they are today. Day 8 of 12/12

[Obi-Wan]

Buds held 61% for the last 36 hours in the bins so they were jarred today. Total harvest yield was 358 grams, a wee bit more than double the original 2 plant harvest. I’d like to be able to pull a lb. from this next grow but to do so would require an additional 90 grams and I’m not sure my setup an I are up to the task. I got .89 grams/watt from this last grow in a 9 sq. ft. grow space(39.7 grams per sq.ft.). As I said earlier, a man can dream!!

[Spidermite]

It's possible. No reason you cant. Envision the goal and just do it. Just pick you genetics carefully.

On that note awesome your grow. Very nice.

Any strain recommendations?

I can search for 'high-yiedling' etc

But a personal recommendation narrows that list

alltatup must have a list of known good, high yielding strains/breeder combinations
