I know it's not dry yet, I was curious as to the weight regardless, you can get a rough indication of what dry weight will be

Hey man just curious, what is the percentage of water weight in the buds 75%?

 

[fr3d12]

Hey man just curious, what is the percentage of water weight in the buds 75%?

I always guess it about 75% but as you know that's only a rough guide.

 

[psilocybindude]

Cool cant wait to see what it comes out to on the scales...

 

[fr3d12]

Always nice to see the result of all your hard work.

 

[KushCanuck]

You tend to lose about 80% give or take psilo on your wet weight. So for your LB of about 448g wet, will be something like 89ish grams once properly dried and through cure . Great job there mate, you`ll enjoy that BuKu after dry time

KC

 

[psilocybindude]

Yeah this buku is great i wasn't so sure about it at first but its a very powerful stone, and the smell of this veneno is crazy its almost like fresh strawberrys mixed with pepper...

 

[psilocybindude]

A pic of my veg chamber/soon to be drying chamber, i added a second set of bulbs hoping to speed up the reveg and i also bumped the nutes up to 1/2 tsp per gal from 1/4.

 

[whocares100]

Psil, can I suggest you upgrade the bulbs, get the bigger 43 watt ones, they worked well for me.

 

[psilocybindude]

Thanks for the suggestion Who I would consider it but temps are quite a problem in my little temporary veg cab, that's why i've only got 4 bulbs running in there and even then the extra 2 might end up being to much, I'm currently in the middle of a 24 hr temp test to find out, this lighting is also temporary once i get my veg cab/flowering chamber done I'm going to buy some t5 and use them.

 

[whocares100]

U can get T8 at walmart, they are close, add some fans or better exhaust...BTW I'd move them closer together, better light coverage

 

[psilocybindude]

I cant use floro tubes in my cab because there is not enough space for them and i cant upgrade the exhaust ether that is why i am turning my current veg cab into a drying chamber and building a veg room into my flowering room, the lights are so spaced because i was going to put more of them in there but because the top of the cab is getting into the 100s with 4 bulbs I'm gonna have to stick to what i got until i get done renovating my flowering room, which will start as soon as i get these drying buds out of there.

 

[psilocybindude]

Not much makes me smile but the results from my veneno weigh in sure did, 188.15 grams or 6.7 oz + 3.5 oz of buku, that brings my total harvest to 10.2 oz from 5.5 oz last grow, and it brings my gram per watt up to 0.71 grams per watt from 0.39, and the way i figure it if i would have had another veneno going instead of this buku which was apparently a low yielder i would have gotten around 376.3 grams or 13.4 oz and 0.94 grams per watt, I'm really quite shocked and so very very pleased...

 

[Highocaine]

Damn fine. 6.7 oz per how many gallons of medium?

 

[psilocybindude]

3 gallons of perlite per plant man...

 

[stoneslacker]

That's fucking awesome man! I knew you where going to pull some weight off that veneno. Buku is a light yielder and you still killed with near 4oz. Awesome job with your bad ass scrog man.

 

[psilocybindude]

Thanks man i really had my doubts for a bit lol, i was really wondering if i might end up getting beat by your 250 watter lol, but yeah after i harvested my buku i realized that couldn't happen, but im still shocked at my yield, i knew i would wind up with a decent bit of bud but god damn 188 grams for 1 plant... And that's with out all the nifty additives you guys use, i guess it really just shows the power of the Hempy, Scrog, HID, and a lot of research... I am really anxious to get my set up running even more efficiently, i cant wait to get my veg space up and running and turning out clones at the perfect size, it should really improve my efficiency...

 

[psilocybindude]

Do you guys know of anything that improves the strength of stems? I really would like to give my plants something to hold them selves up because by the end of my veneno run most of the limbs couldn't hold them selves up, also i would love to hear about any more additives i could use to help my plants out...

 

[fr3d12]

I'm using liquid silicon, it's supposed to help strenghten the plant and aid in it's immunity to pests etc.
I only started using it this grow so can't tell you any more yet.

 

[stoneslacker]

There are a few things that you can do to strengthen the stems. The most effective way I found is to simply have a fan blowing directly through the canopy. As long as those limbs are bouncing back and forth from the air movement, they will start to thicken up really quick. I also like to adjust the plant position under the light, causing the plant to change the position of it's branches to adjust to the light change. The only additive I swear by for systemic plant health is GH Florablend. With an inert medium like perlite hempys, the Florablend really helps to promote good root health and healthy stems and branching. Love the stuff and it is pretty reasonably priced, around $11 for a quart.
