You would have seen that if you had read the last post but anyway... With everything gone wrong I got 7oz of dry cured product (200grams).

congrats... sounds like your first grow was a lot of fun... I started on one Hawaiian snow about three weeks ago.... so I hope that goes well.
good luck on the next... how tall was the Hawaiian snow befor you started flowering?

You might wanna read through the journal, I provided a lot of info there and since you are starting the same strain it might be prove useful to you and learn from the mistakes I did. I was planning to switch them into flowering at around 50cm (20") tall but the timer was not working and they were left into 24/0 throughout vegetation and for an extra week or more of what we thought was the 12/12 period so they stretched even more. Ended up switching them to 12/12 when they were considerably taller. Some were around 80cm already (32"). That led into rootbound so they didn't stretch that much into flowering. They all stopped at around 1.2-1.3m (44-48") Hope that helps!

Thanks mate, this grow is over though so not much to be subbed for. Still happy to answer any questions and discuss comments/advice/criticism!

3 or 5 gallon buckets work good for my soil mixture, that is I usually only grow plants a ft per gallon, so when I use 3 gal I top those plants, 5 gal for plants about 4ft, harvest usually doubles size of plant b/c I use C02..

EXCELLENT GROW MAN! What kinda 400 watt light did you use?

Sonlight Agro. It's supposed to be an HPS with a little bit of a blue spectrum thrown in there too. 58000 lumens and here's the spectrum:
Haven't read the best reviews about it though ever since so for next time I'm going for traditional MH for vegetation and HPS for flowering!

have you done a comparison of the same grow with and without CO2? I'm thinking of getting some in the future but not sure if it's worth the cost yet...

We have a switchable ballast, but will probably use CFLs for most of the veg and an HPS for the flowering.Sonlight Agro. It's supposed to be an HPS with a little bit of a blue spectrum thrown in there too. 58000 lumens and here's the spectrum:

Was thinking of using CFL too for vegetation but I had a spare 400W ballast sitting around and I also wanted to include the MH spectrum to the flowering stage. Plus the extra lumens never hurt anyone!
Will be using 2x600W HPS-TS @95k lumens each plus the 400W MH-HSX @39k lumens. The 2x600W in adjust a wing reflectors and the 400W vertically in the midle of the 4 plants without a hood. 4x25lt pots, I like me buds big!

Here's my Hawaiian Snow at day 19... It's skinny / sharp blade leaves. I don't know if it was a result of injury. During the first week I accidentally sucked/shredded all the leaves into the vacuum tube while cleaning the grow area.You might wanna read through the journal, I provided a lot of info there and since you are starting the same strain it might be prove useful to you and learn from the mistakes I did.

Looks good to me and I'm sure the skinny leaves is just its sativa heritage and not result of vacuuming its ass out lol
