No idea at all on weight. I'll be happy with a zip per plant. Anything more will be awesome! I'm harvesting on New Years Eve, so expect a yield and smoke report by the end of January.
The trim leaves are getting very sticky, so I should have some sweet bubble hash New Years Eve day.....

Bro, a zip per plant on that PPP would be a damn dream come true!!!No idea at all on weight. I'll be happy with a zip per plant. Anything more will be awesome! I'm harvesting on New Years Eve, so expect a yield and smoke report by the end of January.

LOL!!!Good luck man, can't wait for the weigh in!!!!LOL!!

on the weight a good rule of thumb is 25% of wet weight will be the finished
product
1/4 lb of wet bud =1 oz dry bud

nice grow man--- looks like we gonna harvest around the same time. I made some bubble hash for the first time last week. I got some cheap bubble bags but the 75 micron gave some good friggin shit!!! I made it from the Trainwreck and Crimea Blue trim. anyways looking forward to your harvest!!!!!!

Caddyluck, thanks for stopping by. I have followed your grow because I have 5 fem Trainwrecks on deck. You've put a lot of thought into your setup, and the plants show it. Let me know what you think about the Trainwreck yield, I have read that it is a great smoke, but a little light on the buds....
Good luck with your grow.

Being that you are the ISO control officer for the CIA, can't you get those numbers closer to 50% of wet? LOL!
You have crushed my dreams of becoming a Weed Baron.

Nute numbers since the last update:
12/14: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 5.8pH. Add 1 Gal "Bloom"(EC 2.7/1350ppm @ 5.8pH); to EC 2.7 / 1350ppm, 5.8pH.
12/15: Mixed 10 gallons of "Ripen" at full strength.
FloraBloom: 75ml
FloraMicro(HW): 25ml
FloraBlend: 50ml
Liquid Koolbloom: 50ml
Floraliscious+: 10ml
H2O2 (35%): 30ml
Botanicare "Sweet": 50ml
10gal tap mixed to EC 1.5 / 750 ppm @ 6.7pH. Added 60ml pH down for a final 5.9pH. Emptied previous mix, and cleaned the best I could without removing the res, as the plants are too big to move safely.
12/15: Out of town.
12/16: EC 1.8 / 900 ppm; 6.0pH. Add 10ml pH down; add 30ml H2O2 (35%) to EC 1.8 / 900 ppm; 5.8 pH.
12/17: Add 2 Gal Tap.
12/18: EC 2.0/1000ppm; 6.2pH. Add 1 Gal DW, 40ml H2O2(35%); 20ml pH down to EC 1.8/900ppm @ 5.9pH
12/19: EC 2.0/1000ppm; 6.0pH. Add 1 Gal tap, 15ml pH down to EC 1.9/950ppm @ 5.8pH
12/20: EC 2.1 / 1050 ppm; 5.8pH. Add 1 Gal Tap, 15ml pH down to EC 1.9 / 950 ppm, 5.8pH.
12/21: EC 2.1 / 1050 ppm; 5.8pH. Add 1 Gal tap; 5ml pH down, 30ml H2O2 (35%) to EC 2.0/1000ppm @ 5.8 pH.
My inability to clean the res caused my fresh nute mix to jump from 750ppm to 900ppm after the first couple of floods. I will clean the res and fill with pH'd tap water and Clearex on the 24th. I will run this mix until the ppm stabilizes and then replace with pH'd water and "Sweet" until New Year's Eve. Then it's cuttin time!!
The plants really seem to like the new mix, as some of my branches are getting pulled down by the weight of the buds. I had to save two buds by tying them to the ceiling of my tent. I think I'll cut those two branches early so I have some fresh buds for my help coming over for the harvest.
Any feedback is always appreciated.

Looks very nice bro'!!!!!
What color are you wanting the trich's to be at harvest?
Have you noticed a time frame for how fast the development of the trichs is? Like how fast they change colors?

I'm not going to harvest by trich color. I'm using fdd2blk's method of seeing when the buds are ready. He says you'll KNOW when it is ready. I've been grabbing a small bud from time to time to check the buzz, and I'm already very happy with the smoke, so an extra couple of weeks will definitely help. I noticed the bud leaves getting thicker about 5 weeks into flower. I can't explain it, but they look like they are made of felt or someting. I've got two guys I met on RIU coming over to help with the harvest because it is my first one, and they know what "ready bud" looks like. I'll try to take some pics of the trics just prior to harvest so you can see what mine look like.
Thanks for stopping by!

thanks man, i appreciate it. Damn, wish i could hop over a state and help chop for the practice LOL!!!!!! Where can i find the method for bud checking from fdd2blk, just check his profile?

All members of the CIA are invited to the harvest.
After seeing fdd2blk's grows, I think he knows what he is talking about.....

The waiting does suck. Earlier in the grow, I had a lot of learning and tweaking to do, so that kept my mind active. Now I'm coming to the finish line and everything is dialed in so all I have to think about is how it's gonna yield, look and taste...... Every day is Christmas Eve until the 31st.....
Yours are looking fabulous. I can't wait to see a yield and smoke report on those beauties. It looks like I used the wrong bagseeds.....

Scalded Dog you only have a couple of days to wait.....
Mixed up the flushing solution this morning:
10 gallons of tap water
150 ml Clearex
30ml H2O2 (35%)
Poured the Clearex solution over the coco pots with the pump running to keep the flood tray filled. Ran 15 minutes until ppm's were unchanged. I will run this solution 4 more times before draining the res and adding pH'd water with Botanicare's "Sweet" for the final 5 days.
I ended up cutting two smaller low branches that had fallen to the floor. Dried them 3 days, and I have them curing in a glass container for my cuttin crew....
Just over one ounce after drying. I hope it's enough for my hired help....
