Really good looking grow Drekthar. Get ready for blast off

That is a nice set-up and your girls look great. I now realize that I should have done more research before buying my grow cabinet. A 2x4 closet came with a 35 gal reservoir with the cover having room for 12 plants. In reality, I could save a lot of work, water, and nutes growing in two 5 gal buckets in the same cabinet.

I am curious if you have a spare bucket to use for reservoir changes. I’m thinking you could lift the plant from the bucket with old nutes to the bucket of new nutes. Not sure if this is feasible?

 

[Drekthar]

RetiredGuy i have 2 full sets of buckets and I fill them all, mix nutes and just move the air stone and bucket lid over to the newly filled buckets and swap them out. I do sometimes just mix a bucket and top off buy just lifting the lid and adding water for top offs. I also just take the bucket lid off and put on an empty bucket to do work on the plant and put it up on a table at a comfortable working height then just put the bucket back into the tent when im done. This setup is super easy to work with.

A few other various pics to maybe help others with ideas for setup...
I run a perpetual grow so normally when i switch a bunch of plants to flower im putting in some seedlings same time so once 1 crop is finished harvest i have another set of plants to move in a switch to flower right away which allows me a new crop about every 2.5 months. consistently get about 5-6 oz per plant.

Thanks, nice setup.

4 under the slim600 and 2 under Viparspect 600 + 2 autocobs ready to transition

 

[Drekthar]

Switching to week 1 flower, getting a hair cut day..
4 will go under my bucket screen and 2 will stay out and grow freely.

28Feb21 Update - water topped off, ph'd work plants under screens. 2 growing without the screen are looking pretty healthy.

March 2nd. The difference a couple of days make.

March 3,2021
few more holes filled in the screen, water topped off.

 

[Drekthar]

Before and after on the 2 side plants without screen.

4 plants under the screens look to have majority of the holes filled. 49 holes in the screen so baring any issues should have a good crop of big dense nugs.

19Mar21 Update
Girls (hopefully they stay that way) all look to be doing ok.
Just maintaining the water, temp, Ph, and lights...

Few updated photos on water change day..

Lookin awesome.

What do you figure for end weight? 1kilo (2.2 lbs) or more is my guess for those 4 plants.

 

[Drekthar]

YYCannabis Ill be happy with anything over 2 lbs. There are 6 plants total. my best so far has been 24 oz off 4 plants so i'm hoping to meet or beat that per plant average. Hoping and praying none of them are questioning their sexuality at this point.

 

[Drekthar]

Updated pictures taken today.

Buds are getting very fat and they are quite dense as well.

No ambers yet and still looking pretty shiny..

Each plant is using ~ 2 gallons of water every 3 days or so.

Currently mixing nutes for ripen stage.

 

[Drekthar]

Cut a bud off last night as its hard for me to see amber trichs even through the loupe. Put it under my microscope and below are the pics.
Not quite ready yet but getting close.
Some of the big buds are starting to fall over now.

Anyone have thoughts? I assume i'm in the harvest window now..

 

[Drekthar]

Timber.....
The ladies came down on the weekend.
Been drying them and want to get to right RH before starting the cure. Put them in 8 liter Cvaults.
Waiting for a bit before getting a final weight on them.
Any guesses. 6 plants

 

[SoOrbudgal]

2lbs 7oz and it was great watching these plants in your beautiful grow space. Thanks for sharing and good luck next round.

 

[Drekthar]

Final tally 1007 gr.
35.96 oz.
2lbs 4 oz
6 oz per plant
certainly my best average thus far in my grow experience. typically manage 4 oz per plant.
