Well thanks soo much for the kind words LG! I know the basics but I still have room for improvement I feel, and yeah last grow was a hell of a run! Felt pretty good about it :-)
The lighting situation with the 600ds will be hung back horizontally for the next grow, just dont have veging plants big enough to justify running vert again. When ever this BBH is done I'll put those ?purps under it in a 4x4 section and a few weeks later when the sour ds' have a nice veg I'll put those under the other half of the scrog. In the next few days, when Im done harvesting the durban, I'll throw in some sweet island skunk thats been veging for a few weeks and they will finish in 3gal pots with one in a 5gal too to see if there is any difference. Also gonna build a two site hydro system and test some of the aks on it. Never done hydro before but I have a meter and nutes ready just need to buld the system, Im planning on making it a rdwc system in five gal buckets and flower as soon as they get a nice little root structure.
Well thanks again for the kind words bro, I gotta get back to trimmin :-) :peace:

enjoy the trimming! cant wait to see what you can do in hydro! i dont know if you ever saw SOGs thread but he did some major hydro building and it looked like it was pretty simple and well worth the time and effort. its not a bucket style like your planning on running but it seems to be a good way of running mulitple plants in a decent size area. i like the idea of returning to the horizontal 600s, just the way they were set up last time made it look PROFESSIONAL haha. i forgot to mention last time but it looks like you have a very nice shop there too!

wow, you are a truly gifted grower... amazing finished products... im a 1st time grower and i was wondering if you could give me a few tips on harvesting... here is a few pics of my grow thats about a week or so from harvest...maybe some suggestions for ideal place to dry if i only have shirt hangers. how long do they dry hanging, how long in a jar, etc etc. any help would be greatly appreciated considering what yours look like...+rep for your grow.

im not as good a grower as WHODAT but i may be able to shine some light in your direction. you want them to dry in a place that is relatively dry but still has a rough RH around 50% i would say in order not to over dry them or keep them up for too long. the time it takes to dry will depend on how humid it is, the air flow, and how big the buds are. smaller buds will dry faster, bigger buds will take longer. in my experience they should be done drying within a week and you can wait for the stems to bend and pop but not crack completely. once they are done drying you can pop them in a jar to cure but make sure you check them as they will most likely soften up again if you didnt over dry them. opening the jar daily for a few hours during the first week will ensure you prevent mold and that the buds become fully dry, stem and all, before entering the cure for the long run. after the week of opening the jar, if the buds seem to be good and dry all the way through, you can let the jar sit in a dark place for a couple weeks or for months depending on how anxious you are to smoke them or if you want them to be more cured. the more they cure the better they smoke, smell, and taste. by the looks of your pics you still have another 2 weeks plus before harvest, dont pull them until around 80% of the hairs are orange and the bud has began to swell up. the last couple weeks are most important and a lot of people pull there plants before they get to there best state. hope this helps, if it doesnt, im sure WHODAT could help more, if he cant then you can go to the harvest section of the forum and find the many threads on harvesting there.

Thanks for the great complements guys but I'm always trying to improve!

Do exactly what little grower said :-) but if you cant seem to get the humidity high enough in your "dark" drying area try putting some damp towels on the floor and see if that works. I live in a very dry area so I do this all the time with the help of a small humidifier. Also, I find it easier to hang the branches by just leaving a small nub on the end of the stem, I see alot of people hanging buds with paperclips, bulldog clamps, duct tape, and all sorts of other stuff and just wonder why lol.
Couldn't have said it better myself Stinky ol' red eye, thanks for chiming in brotha.


Got a nice update coming later tonight :-)

Thanks.
I try to leave a popcorn bud on each branch to give it something to hang from too. Works great!
When I have a branch without a bud down near the stem I snip the main stem near that branch and then split the stem in half since I top and end up with branches very near each other at the stem. This way each branch has it's own little hook to hang from.

Hope I'm not confusing the stuation here.

I'll call her aunt flow... where do I start?
main res- 27gal
two plant res' top off @ 20gal I think... When I empty the system and fill it with fresh water I'll measure it out.
Each plant res is fed by its own 400gph sump pump through a 1/2" line @ the bottom and has 3- 1" drains located @ where I want the water level to stay, I really dont want my room to flood so I went with more than needed drainage.
Those 3- 1" drains elbow into a 3" pipe back to the main res... Lots of sloshing is what Im going for. Also each plant res will have 3- 6" air stones fed by a 65L/minute air pump. The drippers are fed by another sump pump.
The loops you see @ the main res are check valves for each plant res, this make sure that if the pumps loose power or fail my main res wont flood over on the outside of the grow room, but I have the ball valve so I can drain the plant res' when I need to... Am I leaving anything out? let me know.
