I'm calling that 22 oz. trimmed/dry weight. You've improved your space ALOT since first post snail, well done. You've got the start of a really good room and you've found a place for solid advice, good things man.

22 oz of trimmed/dry experience thank you for the encouraging words! I have had more than a couple moments of doubt. I will have to go back and look at the other pictures hehe. day 29 flower now, I have also gotten SIGNIFICANTLY comfortable at cloning . (lol just ignore then I guess is the best treatment [exaggeration])

well then. ok lol. I'll start looking how to mount it (or do I just cover the walls basically?
Perhaps...hang some pieces of wood from a string from the roof..by wood I mean hockey stick size..1 string on either end..tack the panda film to it..then let the panda hang in the air like a tapestry around the perimeter

I have the 4x8 still mainly with about 22 plants (5 good runts in the mix. also have a 4x4 area in another tray I just added with I think 6 plants and 2 green crack out side of it in their own secondary container. the rest are blue dream . 32 total right now

i find less plants grown out more will hold and give me more bud i tryed the whole bulk method years ago and just stick with 4 6 plants now peace and people like a fat bud

I'm currently running 2 Fluency Bio Spydr side by side in a 4x8 tent. Each light has a footprint of 4x4 so it's perfect and since they are LEDs there is a lot less heat. They throw off very high PAR ratings that is preset These lights are best used for vertical grows but I'm happy with the results so far.

Think you added some pics, looks clear now. You picked some strains that are good for delivering weight, but you're at 37 watts per square foot and that could be better, but it's fine and I'm sure those lights put off some heat anyway. I like to think of it like grades relating to how well you did your homework, so I'd say anything over 2lbs is an A, around 1.5lbs is a B, around 1lb is a C, around 0.75lb is a D and 0.5lb or lower is an F. Roughly, of course.

That's pretty sick. Is it a vertical setup?

Do you think you could get more if you added more light?

Sorry, just realized that I never directly answered your question. Since my light footprint already fills my tent, I would either need a bigger tent or grow outside of the tent to add more light. But yes you can likely get more per light/watt if you change the environment.

That does look like a pretty good led light, what's the wattage?

I'm more tryna figure out the maximum yields possible in a 4x4, or 4x8 space...4 lbs has got to be pretty close to the most possible and I'm trying to see how much more can even fit in the space.

This way I can kinda go backwards from the maximum possible and figure out my lighting requirements for the most efficient setup for wattage input over a 4x4 vs dry harvest weight...

another quick update on Bud development. gonna have to chio them earlier than I wanted . sometime between Xmas and like...the 28th/29th range have to have the room ready for inhabitant. (unexpected family member moving in Jan 1). i started bloom Halloween night. was hoping to go to Jan 15iah and cut them. this is bud development as of now. (just started flushing, will take a few days to take them all down by myself and get the equipment moved out/repaint lol . reminder, strain is blue dream. I hope they finish up decently enough by the end of the month. but either way, it is what it is I suppose. 20191210_204036.jpg20191210_204003.jpg

I would check that bud in the first pic where the dead leaf is for rot.

I was wondering what was up with that. I will go like around . good looking out.
Botrytis usually attacks the stem first and kills any leaves near it. Yellow or dead leaves coming out of buds are one of the first indicators you might have it. Hopefully that's not the case. I've gotten good at finding it from growing outdoors in a shitty climate.

so I just chopped that whole stalk (lol plenty more) and got in there pretty good, looks ok as of now. LOL I will say unrelated...I about had a heart attack thinking of powdery mildew everywhere but I had just drilled some holes in the drywall and was too lazy to move the plants...FML lol. nice shake down and a fan helped ...cough. live and learn I guess? I will go in tomorrow and REALLY look things over I have been out of touch with the garden lately due to some personal stuff.
