Time for some bud porn!
Pictures taken at day 53 of 12/12.
I think I am now at day 59, front left is just about ready to harvest, the others still have at least a week in them.
Going to go with two pots next time for ease of watering and training, will the current pot size be ok for a longer veg time in coco?
Topped the clones a week ago and they're going beautifully!

At day 64 of flower now, going to let it go another week and pull it all at once! Looking and smelling sooo nice!

Cheers man!
Gave them their last feed yesterday, one more day of light then 48 hours of darkness ready for a weekend chop!

Thanks man! Everything is fairly even, but waaay too high above the screen for my liking, I stopped training a bit early.
I'm not expecting an incredible yield as one plant I was in two minds about pulling out has produced poorly as I almost last itn in the early stages. :(
Oh well, first indoor grow and I have learnt a lot!

Not sure hownor where to hang and dry it either, being winter and all haha.

After ten hours of trimming and hanging I'm all done!
I'll post a dry weight when it's time (probably be two weeks away before I have the time and it may take that long to dry in winter anyway).
There's a distinct yield difference in all four plants, the one I almost killed yieled very poorly yet the highest yielder may not have been completely ready... The next yielder under that was perfectly done but an absolute bitch to trim compared to the other three so I'm really not sure which strain I'll grow out next round.
They had 9+ weeks of 12/12 and rates just jumped so I need a quick finishing strain to save on electricity!
Not expecting huge results this time around as I failed to train right through stretch and made a few smaller errors but next round I shall see what I can really pull! (0.75g/w is my personal goal).
Now time to make some cannabutter!!
Peace~

Sweet man, you should run something by TGA, they have nice quick-finishing hybrids. Space Bomb is 45-55 days, Vortex 50-55..

Replace your 400W with some more LED power, and save a few watts there?

I've already spent enough on lights and seeds, going to have to make do with what I have!
Just topped all the clones again, they're about ten inches now I guess and thriving under a couple of cheap cfls haha. Might try some high stress training for practice, I have enough clones to lose a couple.

Sorry for the long delay and lack of pictures and updates.
3 1/2 weeks hanging and they're still not dry to a snap, still just bending albeit very close to a snap. I'll post a weight when they're done. Looks like a good 4-5 ounces but time will tell!
Also started my next grow using 4 clones from the one plant, hoping to get a really even scrog height and keep the tops within ten inches of the screen.... First time round they ended up close to 2 foot over!

& we all know pics or it didn't happen!
Ended up with 6.6 oz in jars, still a tad moist but it's been hung a month today. I'll have to make sure they're opened and aired a couple of times daily... Even if I lose the 0.6 oz I'm still very pleased with my first effort!
As you can see from the pictures they are FROSTY!
I'll be aiming for around 0.75 g/w next grow which should be very achievable considering I have one strain from clones instead of four unknowns, the weakest 2 plants only yielded an oz each and I now know what I'm doing with regards to training through stretch etc... I'll also be able to take a week off the flowering time (8 weeks this strain was ready in but I let them all go to 9 1/2 as one strain didn't look quite done) saving electricity.

Just a recap for people tuning in or can't be bothered finding the info:
1mx1mx2m tent
400w MH for 18h a day
400w HPS for flowering 12h a day
Hand watered with the complete canna coco range in coco coir and ~12 litre pots
scrog with ~2" holes at 10" above the pot height (closer to 14" from medium)
These were germinated from seed and veged for a month or so under 2 x 100w cfls while I got the tent completely setup.
I did have problems at times with the plants drinking alot and being underwatered and then other times keeping to the watering schedule and having way more run off so I'll be watching that next grow as these nutes aren't cheap!

Thanks to everyone who has tuned in and offered advice and help along the way :) :D

Next on the table will be perfecting my watering schedule and quantities and achieving maximum yield through the scrog... Just had an idea, tying a brick or something to some string and dropping that in the middle to get a bit of a U shape scrog happening!
I have plenty of seeds if I wish to try a different strain, all purchased through marijuana seeds.nl however it was cheapest to get mixed packs so everything I grow is an unknown strain, not really into picking and choosing strains as I work full time and only grow for myself, partner and a couple of friends. The one I'm about to grow out was the 2nd biggest yielder from the 4 unknowns but it finished a week ahead of the biggest yielder (8 weeks from 12/12 switch, possibly less) + veg time.
Peace bros!

Sneak peak at the next grow.
Loving the scrog and even canopy!
Trimmed out 2 buckets worth of undergrowth already, let it recover for a few days and I'll get a bit more done!
And shit, uploading these made me remember I forgot to lower the light!!
Also have 6 outdoor guerilla plants out and about, veged to a foot high and I think they were on 14 or 15 hours of light so hopefully putting them outdoors at this time of year will keep them in veg through summer.... if not I'm sure 6 x 2-3ft plants will be a decent yield.

Went and checked out my 6 stealth outdoor plants today.... seems they've all gone into flower which I was half expecting as I am really a total noob when it comes to indoor clones going for outdoor grow season...
All is not lost though, just put 4 into a dark moist place ;) try some from seed for outdoors!! Hopefully we're in for a long hot summer and 7ft beasts!
