Harvested Yesterday... Pics

great crop. I have a few questions because Im trying to learn myself:

1) what size netting pots did you use?
2) what size bins did you use?
3) did you prune any of your clones at all? SCROG, SOG, Lolipop, FIM, Top etc... if not how come?
4) was crowding an issue at all?
5) did you use anything for smell control? How much did it smell? (did it smell throughout your house or did the smell just stay in your grow room?)
6) was the 1 week of veg just so the clones could take root? how come you vegged for such a short period of time?
7) is there a guide you can link describing how to make your aquamist system?


please advise

thanks for the reply... few more Qs

1) can you please explain how you went about your pruning during the bloom phase? Pruning basically was removing all dead or half dead leaves to prevent them from developing mold and infecting the crop.
2) how did you go about changing your solution throughout the bloom phase? The only change I made was when I went from veg to flowering stage. Changed from a veg formula to a flowering formula. That meant dumping the veg solution, cleaning the bins and adding the flowering solution. After that, just kept adding nutes and water for the whole flowering run.
3) did you flush the plants before whacking them down? If so how long was the flush phase? Yes, I flushed for 14 days and then gave them 36 hours of dark time before chopping. It helps with flushing because during photosynthesis time (lights on) nutes are being brought up the roots to the plant. During dark time, nutes are sent back down to the roots. Read up about it.
4) Since you exhaust to the attic doesnt it make much better sense to just grow in the attic in the 1st place? probably have more room up there to grow more plants for bigger crops and is even more concealed and less obtrusive than using an actual space on a level that you live actually live on. Growing in an attic would need climate control because of the sun, and house heat rising up to your attic but some do it, and do it well. I have plenty space in my house so it works for me.

fascinated how you stacked so many plants per bin. never seen it done like that before as most people ive seen go about 4-8 plants per bin. Yeah, I've got 28 plants per bin. With TLC, it works perfectly.

thanks for answering....

just to clarify:
concerning solution maintenance during bloom cycle.. you would just ajar the lid and dump the appropriate nutes in... correct? Yes, and mix it well in the res.

Also:
1) do you just blast it with 100% bloom nutes or do you ease into the bloom cycle with a mix between veg and bloom at first and then cycle into full on bloom nutes? When time comes to go 12/12, I dump the reservoirs and go straight to the bloom formula.
2) hypothetically speaking... if I used a very similar method to yours and I wanted to increase yield by increasing the plant size via longer veg time. At what plant size would crowding be just too unrealistic to be worth it? 8 inch, or 10 inch or 12 inch tall plants? or is 6 inch plants the absolute tallest youd grow them? (I understand plant size is mom and strain dependent... but I just want you to guesstimate for me... Thing is, I've tried growing them a to 12 inches before going to 12/12 but what happens is that because the top buds get so heavy, they start to fall over and main top colas were not necessarily bigger. Also it causes more foliage and less light penetrates the lower buds. Also, you have to remember that during flowering, your plants will double in height. My end height before chop is between 13-16 inches. 5-7" of that is just the top bud.

thanks in advance

PS
dont be bothered by my questions... I ask cause im inspired by your setup and output.

Thanks for the replies... youve been great help. Just on another note though... Have you thought about perhaps changing your HPS bulb to one of those new Ceramic Metal Hallides (not the same as Metal Hallide)? You can get 2 400 watters pretty cheap. From what I hear they are every bit as productive as a HPS during the bloom phase. However since they give a full range of spectrum (even blue light) they help the stems and leaves grow stronger. I mention this as you said your plants at 12 inches werent strong enough to hold up the colas. If you threw more blue light in there via ceramic metal hallide bloom light. the stems would be bigger

Thats wet grams, but still a nice haul my man. Good luck to ya next round. BB isnt my kinda strain........i think its mainly a commercial strain. Alot of BB crosses go around with many names.

It was only a prediction. Final dry weight was 18.5oz = 0.86g per watt.

Tamerlane said:

56 plants yielded 18.5oz? Or 28 plants yielded 18.5 oz? just trying to get an idea...

thanks
