About 1.6 lbs on about 5 plants?! WA WA WEE WA! Excellent!

 

[mr.mcgregor]

I think it was 5 harvests of lots of plants.

well done again mitch_connor

 

[gearbear]

Oh, thanks for clarifying. I was like, Forget everything out there, where are these super seeds?
Still though that's a lot of bud for real! I think anybody that racks in 1lb anytime is doing great and feels very rich (in the more than plenty kind of way).

thanks mr. m, yep took the crop in 5 seperate harvests - 36 plants total.. I didn't weigh plants individually, but the average worked out at 20g a plant more or less

I think there's room for improvement for sure, but It will be awhile before I run that many again.

I have 55 un-sexed in my current run, so bit of a step down, but I will see if giving individual plants a little more space does better or not.

Cheers anyway guys,

Mitch i have to say hands down that was the prettiest harvest i have seen this year other than the dragons

I like the results you had with those numbers not bad i you ask me.
I can tell you though if you allow a little bit more room on them i think they may surprise you
you seem to have everything dialed in well and that shows from plant health
but your skills did well there :thumbs:

I have better results with them if i give them a little room. I pushed the room a little this time to see just how far i could go
and i found the limit LOL.

I ma not sure if you remember the massive Bad Betty i harvested not to long ago.
She was given the entire room to her self while i was waiting for new seedlings
she almost double in size in a week.


One thing i want to ask, i know you had the tent packed
when you watered did you hand water or was this all automated?
Curious because i had water and in my tight space the constant movement seemed to help the density
every time i watered i put them back in a different order or arrangement and they all have great bud cover and density.

Ill get ya some pics dude but like i said before job well done.

Thanks Full D

To answer your questions..

They were hand watered, and I rotated each pot by a quarter every day. I could have been more vigilent at moving the rows too, but once they all got to their max height they were really left in place.
The taller ones went to the back and sides with the shorter ones in the centre and middle. It kind of seemed the best way to do it with having a parabolic reflector/verticle bulb arrangement.

I think they could have done better, as the setup really wasn't dialed in, and the strains were both new to me.
For example I fed a little too much early on, no bad signs of burn or anything but I could tell they would have been headed that way which meant i had to back off and give plain water for a couple of waterings.
Also humidity was too high in the flowering stage 50-60% generally which wasn't at all optimum. Only had a tiny bit of budrot on one plant though so it could have been worse. Another circulatory fan would have helped and I could have turned my fan up. But I was low on funds mid-grow and also noise is a concern where I am at.

This new run, I am aiming to have 25-30 fems depending on what ratio of girls I get, but I have 55 seedlings in there now.
I'm doing Secret Citrus which are meant to be bigger though, so I suspect it will get pretty full once again.
I'm upgrading my reflector, I'm getting a large adjustawing, which should really offer the most intensity to the plants the 600 has to offer.

But if i end up with a similar size harvest I shall be very happy. Especially as it will be a little less work heavy.

But all in all for a first run in a new setup and the first run of the strains I think it went well. Now it's just about tweaking it over time to hopefully get consistantly higher yields

Thanks again for your comments. Mitch
