the light is actually 2000w (Greenfingers LED Grow Light 2000W Full Spectrum) but the drop down list's highest choice is 1000w, i have a 2nd light which is the same as that one which i might use later but with only 9 auto plants i'm not sure if it would be worth it, feel free to comment on your thoughts, i am also using 2 x 180mm fans, i have been using just water for the first week and from tomorrow will be adding a small amount of nutrients, i am starting diaries for all 9 plants which are 5 different fastbuds genetics and are: 2 x gorilla glue, 2 x gorilla cookies, 2 x purple punch, 2 x wedding glue and 1 x purple lemonade, i will be copy/pasting this message to each of them as it's the same information and easier
the second purple punch doesn't seem to be going so well with growth, i'm still using just water on the 2nd one and mid week i tried a day with weak nutrients to see if it would help but probably did more harm then good as it probably doesn't have much root mass, i will see how it goes, hopefully is just a very slow starter
it is possible that the 2nd one is in a pot that was from last grow that was an abandoned grow during veg and even though i added quite a bit of water before adding the germinated seed maybe it wasn't enough and there might had been just enough nutrient in there to cause it to not grow, not sure if that is the case but usually nutrient too early is the reason for plants growing well (nutrient locked i think the name is), but the other one is so far the best performer so it doesn't matter that much if the 2nd doesn't work
will be back in a couple weeks for weight result, first 3 pictures are the same from week 11 post, i will also upload pictures once dry ... i usually only cut off fan leaves at drying and leave bud leaves till later but there wasn't that much of them, will probably do the same for any that don't have a lot of bud leaf
===
23/04/23 the tiny plant 2 has dried and weight is 5grams, i won't add it to total and will just put the harvest as 1 plant
===
28/04/2023 58grams for the main plant
total run with 8 plants = 706grams (25.214 ounces, 1.556 pounds)
+1 5gram underdeveloped purple punch plant
as i thought early on purple punch plant 1 would be the best plant in the grow and it's already more resinous than the 'glues' (wedding glue, gorilla glue, gorilla cookies) but it is a 9 week where the others are 9-10 (cookies is 10), i might need to give them all another week though, maybe plant 1 will be a 9 weeker will see
up until yesterday i had still been giving the smaller purple punch veg nutrients in the hopes it would get bigger but switched to flower nutrients yesterday, it had already started flowering early in the week
if you are wondering what is in the taller plastic pot, it is a mimosa shot (photo-period) which i am just vegging in the tent but it is going outside soon
the left one i topped mid week, the other i won't top, the little one up till now have been giving only water and it seems to be growing a bit better, will be using a weak nutes solution for a week then normal nutes
copy/pasting my week3 comment here so can be seen through all weeks:

would had been a higher yield had i used the grow light i have now from the start but i'm happy with that ... it says "power used 1000 watt" i guess i got confused when adding in the original light, it used just under 400 watt, the light i used for the last 4 weeks it was 450 watt (spider farmer sf4000) ... (edit) i worked out why, the greenfinger light is called "1000w" so i thought i was putting in the model name but it was asking for wattage used
the pictures don't turn out well under the light so playing with aperture mode pictures after the others were taken and uploaded which seem to turn out much better, just need to figure out the right setting
