The lights are good man. I got 4.4 oz off my 4 crammed together plants in a tiny tent. It might not be a record breaking haul but considering it was my first ever go at this and the problems I've had along the way, I'm more than happy. There was no topping or training, and as you can see from the pic with the cider bottles they weren't that tall, so there's def room for improvement. IMO its either the strain or they'll swell, but dont worry about the lights

I pulled 9.3 oZ off 2 plants in my DWC cab so I am pretty sure you'll get 12-14 oZ easily... I'd be pushing for 18 oz from 4 plants :) :) :)... Still its a learning curve, and the more you grow the better you'll get at it.

Amazing - I def cant match that! But your so right about learning as you g(r)o, I'm thinking if I let 2 bush out in lots of space then I'd get more bud off less plants next go.

Nice looking buds man! Dude they are so frosty :) .... Are you using the exact same LED panals as budbaby? do you have LEDs for VEG and flower and are they different bandwidths.. or do you use the same panal for Veg and Flower ?

I think if you vegged a bit longer and topped each plant a few times...Your overall yield would be so much bigger... Either way though the buds look nice!! What nuits are you using? Have you considered using Co2?

what was your overall 'Dry Weight' for those 4 babies?

and lastly how much did your LED panals cost..do they have a warrenty etc? - STELTHY :leaf:

Griffta has the same light i have in my flower cabs mate. There £400 for a 140 watt light and i think those babies were vegged and flowered under the same light.

4.4oz is a god yeild mate and just think if you top and veg a bit longer i rekon you can double that which would be over 1.5g per watt:)

Cheers Stealthy, as BB says I've got one 140w panel which is made by the same guy who made his. I'm using canna nutes and I haven't/wouldn't consider Co2 as I'm just happy to be growing my own & wanna keep it simple at the mo.

I just weighed it up again now that its properly bone dry & its lost a few grams. I ended up with 114 grams off all 4 girls, so a fraction over 4oz.

Yeah mate! I always told myself to not worry about yield on 1st go but now I know the lights are the shiz and I know what I'm doing a bit more, I'm looking to smash that!
As stealthy says, gonna veg longer (I can afford to now Ive got a 4oz stash!)

Ph is still falling in 2 of the buckets after 24 hours, i think its def because the plants are taking more water than nuites and the ec is going up so im gonna keep adding plain water now until the ph is steady, i know this will mean a lower ec than the guide but the plants are only using that amount anyway.

Stealthy mate is it ok to lollipop this freak haze while its in veg? Would just make a bit of room in my cab thats all, i was thinking of just leaving the 8 main cola's on it and trimming the rest. What do you rekon?

Hi dude, Yeah... its best to 'Lolli-pop' pop during Veg :) How big/tall is she atm? post a pic of the Haze plant before you alter it in any way.. But if you remove branches make sure it is just the lower 4 or 5... Have you topped this one ? - STELTHY :leaf:

She has been topped 3 times mate and has 8 main cola's. I was just going to remover all the branches barring the main 2. Have a look at the pic and let me know what you think and ill get that done later.

Hi dude, DON'T cut the branches.. a lot of buds will be in this area., You ve topped for this reason :) and by only having 2 main stems instead of 8 will significantly reduce yield - STELTHY :leaf:

Sorry mate i mneant to say i was going to remove everything apart from the main 2 stems where the 8 main cola's are attatched to if that makes sense. In other words the plant would be just 8 main cola's. Will this be ok?

Mate how do i know when to start flushing them out? I have got a jewelers loupe here 30x, its ok but ive ordered a 60-100x led one off ebay so that should let me get a better look at when to harvest but im unsure as to when to start flushing.

I have lowered the ec's now in the front 2 buckets but the ph is still dropping:), im just gopnna keep adding water though as i all i can think thats causing it is the planst taking on more water than nuites.

You flush for 1 week prior to Harvest with just plain PH balanced water.. The most accurate way to tell when their done is with a Jewlers loupe or a digital USB microscope with a 300x zoom, the 100x will prob work fine though :) I have an advice/reference guide on a page in my thread (not sure which page)... and it details pics of Tricomb stages and colour change etc... I think (THINK) lol the best time to Harvest is when 50% of the trichs are Cloudy and 50% are an ambery orange, and the hairs will be mostly orange/red. Your prob right about the plant drinking more water than nuits, either keep adding water or upon water change add 10% less nuits to the RES. ....... Which brings me upto,,,,, When you do your final nuit based water change cut down to about 50% nuit strength and kinda ween the plants off the nuits... then in the last week flush with just PH balanced water, and then LASTLY 48 hours of complete darkness before cutting them down, The darkness makes the plant believe it going to die, and in a last bit to get pollinated, before its life is over the plant will produce another wave of THC/CBD which works out pretty well for all us stoners :) Hope that helps man - STELTHY :leaf:

Cheers mate. I think ill just keep adding water now to be honest and see how i go.

I was gonna wait until 30% trichs were amber, how do i work out though when there a week from harvest? Is it when most trichs are cloudy but none amber?
