[idiopathic neuropathy]

The harvest is in the jars and the numbers are in. 666 grams for the Dispensary or better Bud and the small buds. Here is the break down:
Center Rear Blueberry Cookies 152 g.
Left Rear Blueberry Cookies 145 g.
Front left Blueberry Cookies 90 g.
Right Rear OG Cookies 75 g.
Right Front OG Cookies 56 g.
Front Center RQS Critical 65 g.
mixed little buds (LARF) 83 g. will be making 2 pounds of canna butter with this today or tomorrow.

The sugar leaf trim is 88 g. I will make dry ice hash out of it.

Ok this is not my best yield but it is pretty good considering how hot it has been. Here are the photos of 1 jar of the Center Rear Blueberry Cookies:

I will post additional picture as I take them.

Jolly good report----thank you

Buds look great man! Very nice yield

Thanks for posting the numbers, its great to have as a reference for people looking to grow these strains.



Seeing as how you're already enjoying the aroma, I'm looking forward to the post cure smoke report!

Another great grow.

@Mañ'O'Green , you inspired me to try rockwool. I am pretty much following your lead, setting up veg irrigation now.

Did you alter your irrigation routine any? Just got the plumbing, timers, tubing done -- using a smallish pump. 4oz barely wets the corners of the Floracaps. Takes around 11 seconds to pump ~110ml.

Thanks man. Looking forward to not sweeping up perlite all the time.

@MMMi
I use a bigger pump with pressure compensating drippers so all plants get equal nutrients.

But still 4oz a shot? That doesn't fill the cap, seems like 3/4 of the holes would never get used.

Mine are even enough, and speed seems like a non-factor at 4oz/shot.

The idea behind the drippers is to allow the capillary action of water to moisten the entire cube regardless to the contact point. If you water rock wool too fast from the top it will develop "channels" the water races out through and much of the fertigation will be lost as run-off and much of the cube remains dry. You do want to achieve run-off every day it washes excess salts out; you just want it to run off when the cube is saturated and not before. I run a drip to waste system in rock wool cubes. My drippers run 8 times per light period two hours after lights on to two hours before lights out. The goal is to achieve a 20% run-off of the total volume watered in one period. It sounds more complicated than it is to do!

Yup, I read your other thread. I get the math, channels, 10% overall, 3% per shot.

My automation system can accommodate anything I want, down to 1 second precision.

There isn't much dialogue out there about floraflex caps. All the manufacturer videos show basically filling the whole cap every time. I was wondering if the cap and the dozens of holes in it -- eliminated the whole water channel thing since it's more evenly dispersed before even entering the rockwool.

I'm almost at the automation phase, just did a couple top feeds after the transplant and 9 day wait.

Assuming I follow the 4oz per shot / x shots per day to achieve 15% runoff. Just have to figure out when to flip the switch. Everything else I read about rockwool seems to say you need that 30-50% dryback period.

Thanks again Man.

Yes it is a judgement call as to when to fertigate in early veg. I just heft the cubes daily and water when needed until the plants are about 10" tall. By then they get water every day at 3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4 minutes. Then when around 20" tall I bump it up to 4,3,3,4,4,5,5,5 and that seems to be enough to finish the grow.

Once again don't worry about how many holes in the FloraFlex drop water as long as your watering slow enough the water will wet the entire cube. Be sure to use a little surfactant (Yucca Powder) so the water disperses evenly.
