I'll let you know what I think but I'm no expert in any way on sog. To me the 2" pots would be restricting somewhat. If you were going to grow some small popcycle buds it might work but for that price you would be better off going to a standard ebb and flow table set up so you can let the plants do what you want them to do and give you more flexibility and control.

Clubbers, I fear I have disappointing news. I harvested what appears to be some really dank bud (I'll give you the smoke report when its ready). The bad part is that its only 376 grams wet and trimmed. Thats only gonna give me just over 3 oz dry, correct? I was hoping for 6 oz minimum. Anyway I guess its not all that bad. I averaged just over 1 oz per plant. This time I'm flowering 8 clones in a sog of sorts (they actually vegged for 7 weeks). Maybe the yeild will increase a bit with experience. I'll let these next 8 go longer in flower too. Maybe shoot for nine weeks instead of seven, see what happens. :peace:

7 weeks seems a bit early, almost too early to get that last bud swell.... I always let my plants go at least 10 weeks to ensure I get that very last swell.

75% of the water weight will drop, which will leave you with 94 grams, which is 3 ounces, 1 quarter and 1 eighth (minus like half a gram lol). That's not bad dude (Stop being so hard on yourself lol.), and your yield will get better as you get more experience you're right on about that, grow is totally experience based. Also remember sometimes it's not about the quantity but more so about the quality.

Congratulations on your harvest!! Definitely give us a smoke report, and great job Altered, I'm sure your next grows will be just as great if not better.

:hug:

You're going to want a lot more fan power than that. When I had a grow cab that was similar in dimensions as yours, except mine was 4H, I had to use 2 fans, they were both 10 inch box fans that cost 3 bucks at Walmart, I think they might have been on sale. Or 2, 4 inch can fans should do you good.

I'm no hydro expert at the least, but I do know what Ebb N Flow is, and I would have to agree with Crazy on this one.

no thoughts on the sog style grow i posted a few posts back?
As far as lighting you should be fine, how tall is your cab?

The 250 alone will give about 3-4 ft of light penetration, the CFL's and the LED's should take care of the rest that's not getting enough light.

Edit: That can fan should be fine.

Okay guys so I built the ghetto AC last night, it came to under 40 bucks lol. It's been on now for about 3 or 4 hours, and the 2 liter bottles inside are barely even melted, not even half way. I took pictures almost the whole way through, and had to backtrack to get some pictures (Damn joints lol). Anyhow I was wondering, should I post the tutorial in here, in the DIY section or both?

The carbon filter tutorial will have to wait for the moment.

Yay one of my fave Rollituppers lol :hug:!!

Looks like it's a good day to not have shit to do lol, since posting both tutorials is going to take forevvvveeeeerrrrr lol.

I'll post in here first though lol, because well.... I can't lie I have a case of favoritism towards the 250 club lol.

Tutorial coming up in.... hours lol, should have highspeed soon, my roomie/best friend finally paid his past due lol. I would have gotten it but I used DSL and the company I went through in the city doesn't provision out here, plus he threw a world class frikkin' hissy fit (I love my gay boy lol) about him keeping his cable account or I would have started my own lol. Anyhow.... point is I should be posting a shit ton more pictures here soon again yay lol.

I agree with Mind that you should post in both and if not then at least shoot us a link to where you did put it. Thanks Doobs.

Thanks for the confidence booster. I was mostly disappointed with the yield cause if I remember right Mind got over 900 grams wet. Not that I was trying to compete I was just hoping for more. I think you're right about the quality being more important tho. This looks and smells like its gonna be some kill. I'll be sure to issue a smoke report. :peace:

Mind you are officially the man in my book. Your biggest bud was 80.6 grams if my mind serves correct and you yielded over 900 grams wet right? And was that not your first grow too? Thanks for giving me the inspiration and motivation to forever better my grow op. kiss-ass

You're telling me Mind lol, slowwww so slowwww lol.

Yeah I was actually looking for my lighter for the last 5 minutes or so lol, found it now (It was by the girls lol), and I'll be starting on the tutorial as well as checking my other Tabs open for questions and such.

The weather is hot as hell outside, but nice and cool inside lol. I'd go exploring, or hiking or something but it's so hot out here that, taking my dog out potty is killin' me lol, and I've been in heat hot enough to vapor lock a car, so yeah it's super hot today lol.

I agree with Mind that you should post in both and if not then at least shoot us a link to where you did put it. Thanks Doobs.
No problem Altered, I will be doing the tutorial in here first, you guys come priority with tutorials.

Everyone needs a confidence boost here and again, especially if they're being WAY too hard on themselves lol, so no problem Altered.

Yes Mind did get more yield but he also has more experience under his belt, so I mean don't be disappointed because you did good dude. Just take this experience and jump into the next grow experience with it. Like I said before I'm sure your next grow will be great if not better.

I will definitely be checking for that report.

AB,
Actually it was my 3rd grow,But thanks for the praise.

1st grow i got 2oz from 2 plants

2nd grow i got 6oz from 2 plants

3rd grow i ended up with 6 1/2 oz from 1 plant

So i got better as i went,but i do agree with Doobs quality is much more important then quantity.

Your next grow will be better.:hump:
