Here we have day 47!! Things are getting mighty heavy, the trunk is now splitting away from the root mass as she's starting to lean backwards with all her weight!! Nothing i can do , i have the plant chained t all 4 corners of the tent and she still wants to pull it one way. I went a little over-board with this plant. I didn't imagine her putting on this amount of flower tops, especially this big! I had a small nibble on the sample nug, a small piece that was dry, and Boy oh boy....... I'll keep my mouth shut.
Ok.... I'm in love. Resin covering her fan leaves????!!!! what did i do?!

I've had to tie up most actually ALL my grows! the colas always look bigger once you remove them from the tent!The hash was quite a nice run! the quality is great. The big amount wasn't full melt, only maybe 30-40% meltable and was made with dry frozen trim, the smaller light coloured blobs were the full melt run, a mate came over with some fresh frozen trim and was keen to see how its made. He was a little disappointed with the yield but with fresh frozen its never a whole lot as it takes up more room being fresh. I decided to do a run with a few ounces of some dry trim from a mate and it came out that beautiful creamy coloured hash, and the flavour is incredibly spicy with a hint of tanginess. Incredible strength and flavour so i'm really please. It seems as the bags are getting more used the hash that i cxant clean out of the filters is actually helping my extractions be that much more pure and i'm getting much less contaminants and it gums up together like sticky glue
Oh i'll be blazin
i can't let go of my pipe at the moment. Bubblin it up bigtime. Feels like christmas now. I'm eating roast lamb and harvest is just around the corner! what an awesome day!

Hey Flowamasta, Merry Christmass and a Happy New Year To you and yours! Your girl is looking tasty as usual.
A question on harvest. I know 50 -55 days is a real close number for your plants. Is that based soley on experiance with the strain or do you wait for amber to show up in the trichomes? I got some frosty white buds on a new strain (from a bag seed) but not sure if I should wait for amber. She is at 52 days.

Flowamasta Love your tutorials and have been lurking along for the whole grow.I am a newbie grower on a tight budget currently running 2000w hps/with 10 hempy style 5 gallon buckets drip feed/all perlite 35 gallon res/fountain pump on 24/7...lights 12/12.
Running floralious @ 7oz. per batch changed each week.Getting real fosty buds but only about 4oz dry per bucket?
The plants are in a large room and do not have the benefit of reflective walls...is this the main reason for low yield?
My next grow I want to follow you system to the tee.........If you have the time could you give us a break down on what equiptment to buy...and about how much the cost would be.

U get 4oz per plant and you say that's a "low yield"??? Wow bro..
I'm still tryna pull 1z each...

Yeah man thats 40oz if you have 10 plants. Thats pretty good for 2000w if you're doing sog! Id be happy pulling over 2lb under 2000w

I check for cloudy trichs and a ratio of clear. I want very little amber trichomes this run. I would like to stay awakeHey Flowamasta, Merry Christmass and a Happy New Year To you and yours! Your girl is looking tasty as usual.
The last 3 months have been like a zombie.pics of your buds perhaps?? As soon as i see a few amber trichs and most of the pistils have receded..... Still a vigorous setup though and would be able to push further for more growth but potency will go down and growth becomes a little mental in my opinion... foxtailing more, smells change to more piney... I've never thought to myself i've harvested too early thats for sure.
Thanx for the compliments! I see an instant issue that could be a problem...... You said your pump is on 24/7?? no need. its possible you are over-watering, which is unlikely in perlite, but other climate conditions might be affecting each other.. Back the feed off in my opinion. I feed every 3 hours for 15 minutes at a time. Between feeds the moisture gets soaked up and evaporated. If it can't be at a sufficient air/water ratio it will have alot of trouble retaining any water at all, let alone taking up nutrients in a totally saturated solution. Also do you run an air pump in your res?
For 2000 watts I could create alot more efficient system.... maybe cut your plant numbers down, create more tops and a thicker canopy, each plant will yield larger and more buds.
What is your lighting system i see 2000 watts but in what configuration? Reflective walls will increase your lamps efficiency by upto 50% The light usually lost at the sides and lower levels are all reflected by not being able to escape and bounced off every angle. Tents have great return. The guy who taught me gets more with 2 plants than my other mate with 4 in a small room with hal the amount of veg time. Reflective material is a MUST.
God Luck matey
Thanx for being here i hope i can be of some helpSOG is a bit of mixed hype really. But to double that yield is not a giant leap..... You can actually scrog a SOGYeah man thats 40oz if you have 10 plants. Thats pretty good for 2000w if you're doing sog! Id be happy pulling over 2lb under 2000w
but they wouldn't need to be big plants, after the first topping i'd give them probably 2 weeks and then flower. Still get over 4 ounces in my opinion. getting nutrients right and climate is really the key as long as you have good lighting and ventilation ofcourse. So many key factors.just read this entire journal, fuggin nuts dude... i haven't grown yet but can't wait to when I get my own place and It looks as if LST combined with SCROG is the way to go if you are limited on space. I love the way the even canopy looks in the SCROG 
can't wait til harvest to see what you're getting gram/watt wise....i'm no pro by any means, but i'm also not an idiot and that plant looks orgasmic 
if only i could i smell it and help you out with burning some of that full melt..

Lookin good, mate! Over the last few weeks I've been gathering the pieces to replicate this setup and surprisingly, the most difficult part is getting the container right. Here in the states its seemingly impossible to find basic 50L (12G/18" U.S) pots with no drainage holes. I believe I'm going to be forced to use a large pot with holes, stuff it with Rockwool flocking or something (we don't have Pot Sox either), and set it in a tray or saucer. Maybe you, or anyone else has some suggestion for us in the states? Maybe a good "pot" dealer?

Can you get 50L buckets by chance? May be able to use one of them if you can...
Can you get any pots with no holes? May just have to go smaller pots...

Yeah that would work perfectly
As long as you can put another one inside it and have space at the bottom you're set

Thanks for the reply flowamasta,
I meant to say I am running floranova bloom/not floralious.
The drip set up actually drops about one drop per second/the res has 4 air stones in it.
I am clipping the buds when there are clear/cloudy also...dang good buzz!
But leaving the smaller buds to grow longer.
Yeah I figured I need some reflective walls in there
tried an experiment this round and put different stains together to see which one puts out the dank and yield.
xj-13....my pick for the #1 spot
followed bye a close second...c-99 and super sour diesel.
going to dump the master kush and predator
green crack is a keeper too.
