TUESDAY 2/5: I did a photo session today and inspected everybody ..up close and personal. The Candy Canes will probably only get fed another couple of times. They are pretty far along now...about 30% cloudy trichromes. The light burn will likely kill off most of the foliage on the C4's and CC's, so it's a race against time. I fed them about 1/4 gallon with all the good stuff. FRIDAY: I watered them and included some calimagic, cha ching, bud candy, bembe, and terpinator. This might actually be the last dose of any nutes for the candy canes (except bembe)..they seem to be finishing up quickly now and I want to flush them for a couple of weeks if possible. That shit is soooo tasty!๐Ÿ˜‹ SUNDAY: I rearranged the garden and took some photos today. Wow...ridiculous stink factor!!๐Ÿ˜ณ MONDAY: I fed them about a 1/3 gallon each today. Everybody got cha ching except for the smallest WW, the NL, and the Diesel. They got beastie bloomz. This was absolutely the last feeding for the 3 Candy Canes and for the pink C4. I'll start flushing them on Wednesday.

Grow Questions

I have a question about what the general consensus is on calculating final dry weights and factoring the amount of light used and square feet taken to grow plants. Do you weigh with stems or without? Total light in tent and total space in tent divided by # of plants?

I don't go for contest. And my stash is way to much already. So, my dry weight is without the stem. I worry about rot, so I dried harder than most people would. My ratio of wet to dry weight is somewhere between 7:1 to 9:1. Its depend on the plant structure. And that is from strains, the type of additives, and the season.

yeah man exactly , so for example in a 4x4 i can fit 9 5 gallon pots so when i harvest my 5 gallon plant i divide the sq.ft.-age by the number of plants in this case 9, total light used is the largest amount of W used in my case 600W. Wet weight is basically everything on the branch, dry weight is without stems and manicured bud. The site calculates the rest for you. hope this helps bro ! ๐Ÿš€

I wish questions could be more verbose, and that it was possible to reply to proposed answers to grower questions... I'll just do it here: This is how I've been doing it: I wait to do the dry weight until it is fully dry and de-stalked. I only weigh the smoke-able flowers and the stems within them, though I do like to leave at least an inch of stalk as a "handle." When inputting harvest data, I've just been putting the total light in the garden. But I put the actual number of square feet that the 2 or 3 or however many plants required. That gave me wonky/skewed wattages per plant numbers..and thereby, grams per square feet numbers. But now I'm thinking this is better: Lights: Total light wattage divided by number of plants in that particular diary Grow Room: Only the actual space the plants in that particular diary required For example, if my total wattage is 1010w, and I have 13 plants sharing that light, it would be 78w per plant. If there are 3 plants in the diary, then that would be 78w x 3 = 234w Right?? Or, maybe it would be better to just count the total wattage of light directly over the plants included in a diary? For example, I have bar lights spaced about 4 inches apart...each bar being a total of 85w. 3 plants are getting direct light from 3 bars, for a total of 255w...which seems closer to the truth.

@Silverback_Guerilla, I feel ur pain thatโ€™s a horrific turnout. Was running 99.1% myself for the last 2 years... until recently. Guess luck catches up with us all. Best of it to ya dude. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

@TheBudWhisperer, same here man...in about the last 10 days, I've floated 25 beans and only had 5 emerge...kinda freakin' out...i really need at least 12 plants or I'll be angry and sad for the next 70 days...

@Silverback_Guerilla, IMO - total light wattage for the space, divided by the total number of plants within it. Thatโ€™s the figure Iโ€™d be working with if I went that in depth on my lights. That said, my primary concern (mainly due to a smaller grow space) is efficiency in terms of yield per sq/ft. I can afford the electric bills but I canโ€™t afford to have dudd beans. Which is, ironically, a slight problem Iโ€™m having right now!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Stick, Thanks for your response! You said this: Total dried product weight รท Total lamp wattage = Yield per watt of light What I don't understand is how/where you get the total though... So, for example, if in my current grow I have 12 plants in the tent, comprised of 5 strains in a total of 3 diaries... One diary will show .3 g/w, another shows .28 g/w, and the other shows .32 g/w Do I just add up each of those values to determine the actual yield per watt for the entire grow? Or is it smarter to just divide the actual draw wattage in the entire tent by the total number of grams from the entire grow? 655g divided by 1010w = .65 grams per watt....right?? That kinda sucks, huh?

@CRiSPrGrow, The manufacturer of the lights I bought claims they can produce greater than 2 grams per watt, but I'm betting that's with heavy CO2 supplementation and less than 12" from the canopy (> 1392 uMol m*/s) Whereas, at 15"-18", I'm only getting about 1200 uMol m*/s..and with the CO2 levels I average, I can't really move the plants any closer without burning them... So, then, my current production bottleneck is in maintaining a high enough ambient level of CO2 to be able to lower my lights to 12" or less so that my plants can fully utilize all that glorious light and not be adversely affected by the radiant heat produced by the fixture... Another challenge...

@Silverback_Guerilla, it doesnt suck that much ! I mean if you werent a light freak lol you'd have less draw and a "better" ratio ๐Ÿ˜‚

@TheBudWhisperer, Breeding wasn't in the plans at all...just happened to have a few sneaky nanners spread their genetics around my very windy tent..normally I'd be pissed, but I'm actually kinda anxious to see the results of these hybrids. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™ Just gotta keep a close eye on them all the way through because there's at least a 33% chance each plant could also pop nanners...

LMFAO yeah ph pens break all the time same with the EC pens... that's why i just use ph strips and ordered 12 EC pens for 0.80 each lol... i know why they break, i know what i should do so they dont break, i know i'm gonna break them by accident anyway lol

@@@Freddd, Ya, I usually do that very thing, but sometimes when I'm having to mix up several different batches of nutes at a time I'll get lazy and just trust new tech before verifying it with old tech... My new pen is kickass, though. I just dip it in the 4.0 and 7.0 and if it's not on the money, re-calibration just takes a minute as long as the temp of the solution isn't too cold.

@Silverback_Guerilla, The indicator liquid is very accurate between 5.8 and 6.2. Pale neutral yellow is 6, very slight green tint 6.2, very slight warm tint 5.8 if I get a strange pH reading with my pen and the indicator solution is right, it means I need to recalibrate the pen!

@CRiSPrGrow, I grow with Biobizz Lightmix and Hesi Nutrients, I dont test any PH or EC. They even say it is unnecessary testing it in soil.. I have not run into any problems so far ( 1.5 years in this setup now)
