damn thats a big ass cola, those buds are lookin delicious. so what modifications have you made to the producer? can you take a pic of your portable ac vented to the intake?
Hey, I think I have a picture of that somewhere in this thread. It's just a cardboard box opened on both ends that provides a funnel to the intake... nothing crazy. :)

LTZ, I never weighed that cola because it had some mold issues in the interior which made it artificially heavier. I was able to salvage most of it, but lost a good chunk. It is very beautiful though!

Bigbux, that was 12 plants that I got 9 oz from. Probably lost another 2-3 oz to mold.

Stillcantroll, lets do this! Grow 3!

Final dry weight is around 9 oz of good bud. Most came from the tons and tons of side branching. I've saved tons of premature bud and sick bud to make hash oil and hash from bubble bags. I probably lost 3-4 ounces from the mold. Here are some final pics...

Smoke Report

The dry bud is not currently finished curing, but smells light and fruity. Despite finishing with 200ppm (slight nute res), the smoke is smooth and no one has complained, even when asked for an honest opinion. I cannot detect any scratchy, smokey taste or burn. Some of the buds were a little premature, but the high is still great; a cerebral rush that sticks around for maybe an hour with two small hits. The more mature bud has more of a body high, but is still very cerebral and lasts a bit longer.

Good harvest buddy. Nice looking nugs for sure.. there's some stuff going around, around here that looks almost exactly like that. Though, the hairs on yours are a little darker than the other stuff thats going currently in stock around here.

Looks good though man.. I hope to be able to do Hydro one day. You get me around soil.. and growing with soil? I know my stuff.. not bragging.. just saying that I know my stuff when it comes to soil growing. Never really got into hydro very much... but then again I've only been growing for about 3 years now. But I've learned a lot.. not only from reading just about every "good" Cannbis book out there.. but mainly from "hands on" experience with my grows in the past.

But yeah, anyhow.. I'm stoned right now so sorry for the rambling. It happens. ;)

peace.

so ancap, how are you gonna prevent the mold this time?
I'm going to trim aggressively to increase airflow, add a fan to one of the top corners of the grow chamber, and replace my carbon filter with one that is larger has a build in fan to help really replace the air inside the chamber.

how bad does the smell get for you guys?
If I take the carbon filter off late in flower you can smell fresh weed from my driveway (and I am not exhausting directly outside).

Thanks for stopping by! I'm loving growing hydro and these boxes make it very easy. I check on things usually once a day, and I'm spending about an hour once a week to change the res and fiddle with things. You can definitely learn a lot after three years! I'm on my third serious grow (had some other light experimental ones prior), but really have been doing this for about a year. In one year, two grows, I've learned quite a bit... and still learning for sure.
