Yeah it was a good crop, if the nugs would have been denser I think I could of pulled down 12+. My room is sealed, the resting C02 is under 300ppm so I have to supplement.

Ive been tossing the idea around about adding two 4'x4' LED lights right down the middle. Do you think that would benefit me? Aid in the density?

I moved to 4’strip leds. Use half the power and my yields stayed the same. Only problem is no heat. So now I also run a 400 HPS in flower to bring the temps up. Kinda full in my room now though.

Gotcha, yeah I've read that about LEDs.. you dont get the temp swing with them. Luckily my mini split heats and cools so I can set the temp and put it in auto mode and it keeps the temp within +/- 3°
Nice setup, I run a similar sized room in my garage. Aircon only 18,000 BTU though I think (5.2kw) and barely keeps up.
I've done 3 runs in my garage and pulled similar numbers as you running similar wattage but my temps were a bit higher and I have about twice the dehumidification as you and still barely keep up.
3 previous runs were HPS / CMH combo and I'm in the process of switching to LED just trying to find what I like.

I would bro, I'm guessing your aircon easily handles your area now, add some more light, make use of that CO2.
How long does a bottle last you btw? I get about a month out of a bottle when the room is full.

A 20lb tank usually lasts me 3 to 4 weeks.. it seems like I go through one in 2 weeks early on though and then it settles down. Very nice setup!
Yeah so roughly the same, it looks like our rooms are pretty much the same size, single car garage lol.
How many plants you running in there? Much veg time?
I was using a 2.4x2.4m tent for veg and the garage just for flower but recently went on holiday so this run is all from seed.
I usually have 40 - 50 plants in there in 20 litre (5 gallon) fabric pots.
11.5lb, 9lb, 9lb were my first 3 runs, hoping for around 9 again this run.

My garage is 24'x20', flower room is 18.5'x8.5' and my veg room is 8.5'x8.5' right next to it. I have 8 plants in 10gal fabric. I cut clones when I move to flower so I end up vegging for around 9 weeks since I use flower room to dry after I harvest. 1st run was 9lbs 10oz, 2nd run was just over 11lbs but the quality wasnt as good(a little airy and I lost 2.5% thc) still smoked really good though! Im hoping for 10+ this run and hoping I get my density back since im keeping the temps a little cooler and humidity as close to 45% as I can.

Ok so same width but you have an extra 4 - 5 feet length than my flower room.
Didn't realise you had seperate veg area, that's good, more cycles per year haha.
Fuck you doing good for only 8 plants in there haha. And be alot easier to control humidity with less pots and medium, good stuff.
