I'd love the vapexhale but I don't have that much to put down on a machine.

The main reason why I want a portable is that I find them easier to clean up later. I can just see my lazy ass not unplugging a desktop and my inlaws come for a nice surprise visit. :bigjoint:

One thing with Flowermate and others is the auto-off. I keep wanting to hurry before the light goes off causing greater medication!

Day 21 (yesterday)

It has been three weeks now and one week with light on for 13.5 hours (with 5 minutes of 730nm at the end) It flowered faster than last time and in my mind it is growing faster. The stretch is over and now it is budding out. I dropped GH nutes and have gone back to hesi.

In total there are 4 plant with 16 mains. The bottom left and top right are Trainwreck, top left is blue dream and bottom right is amnesia. The all stretched the same apart from one trainwreck that was slower. When you see the mainfold, you can see one plant has been lifted.

Day 29

Just upped to 6ml of pk13/14 (from 3ml last week) in my bucket o about 27liters. Still holding at 100ml of hesi coco.Things are holding well. Still using 13.5 hours or light and 5 minutes of red. It's pretty much set and leave now. I do have one plant drinking less than the others. I might take one dripper off for a few days to let it dry out a little. They are really frosting up now and now starting to add some weight. I like watching it from about now as this is when the bulking starts. Grow my pretties!!

I think clones would be quicker and easier than going 4 plants and mainlining them. But for me this is the best method. I'm only growing for myself, and I want one grow a year. This means I have to grow from seed. Next would be one plant in a scorg but I dont want just one type of weed for the year. So this leads to me grow 4 plants and mainlining for 4. The rootmass will help along with being feed 3 times a day. Overall if I want to do this as fast as I can it would take me 5 - 6 weeks veg and then flower.

day 35 = flush

So ... no updates, bloody stoned bastard :D

Well on April the 10th, day 68 I took my ladies down. I would have liked to go longer but they were really sinking even through the carbon filter. They were all ready, so no worries. They are now dried and the curing started today. I need about 4 days to dry. So enough of the babble .... here's pictures of the harvest.

Time for chop chop.

And today ........

weight will come when I buy some scales. I am not using any of this stuff until it's cured and I will weight it then. I remember when I used to pull one jar and some popcorn and was happy. My first grow last year I grew two jars and some pop, then the one before this I pulled 6 jars and was fist pumping happy ...... this time .... I am going to continue to grow this method and get better at it ...... next year. I have for a while :D

A month has past since I jarred my product and I have been curing them all slowly. The Amnesia smells like parsnip (the vegetable), well a weed smelling parsnip. I had a small taste and it is lovely. The Blue Dream doesn't have the strong smell like my last but the slow cure is bringing it out more. Not yet tasted.

The trainwrecks are fat so they have slowly lost their weight. I still think they are a little too wet so they will drop a few grams still. I have also not yet tasted.

so the totals after growing under 200 watts of LED

Trainwreck #1 = 89 grams
Trainwreck #2 = 90 grams
Blue Dream = 86 grams
O Amensia = 72 grams

totals 337 grams (12 zip)!!!! That is 1.685 grams per watt in a 80 by 80cm tent!. I'm super impressed. I was hoping for 4 / 5 grams a week and is is more than I thought I would be able to grow. I still think I can do better too

Thanks everyone.
@ Evil Mobo - I found the key to mainlining is not just getting even cola tops (even tops gives the best sized colas) but also the light you can get on the cola. If you are doing 8 or 16, make sure you spread each node out. In this thread you can see in the start that even though I used the same seeds, because I didn't spread the 8's out well enough I only got near 1/3 the yield.

@ bassman999 I think my far red lights helped as well. Those extra few hours of light seems to increase the yield.
