Glad I didn’t veg a day longer. These plants just killed it filing in the 5x5 tent. No topping. Just slight bending and what a canopy. I’m thrilled with every cross I try with this black lime reserve. Snd they are fast. Buckle in for last few weeks. I’m think sround Christmas for a chop date but we shall see…

shit I just realized I never updated my last harvest. My dad had a heart attack couple days after Christmas, he pulled throw miraculously but I was in Texas for a few weeks and then came home to backlog of to do’s and life. Now I’ve blinked a few times and two months flew by.

I think I ended up with around24-26 oz. not really sure. But I had about 16 quart jars full. Typically 1.5 plus oz per qrt. The wife actually took care of all the trimming and that was a great thing. ( first and last time I’m sure)

Glad to know that he pulled through!!!

Looking really nice Green Machine! What distance are you keeping the 6500 from your canopy during flower? Also, is that silver box thingy a humidifier or something else?

Yes humidifier I picked up from Walmart of all places. Cool/warm mist options. Humidistat built in and night mode with no display lights. Love it!

and I just lowered to about 30 in I’d say. I had it to the ceiling of the tent to try to get somestretch but this vortex crossed with sweet Hawaiian skunk is a shorty snd bushy.

now I will probably keep lowering slightly throughout flower try to get to 20-24 inch from tops.

Your leaves stayed really nice at 30, so it gives you a good baseline to push it a bit more. I'll probably shoot for 24 " too and see how it goes.

I’ve been growing with led for over a year and still don’t have it quite figured out lol
Same here! The massive increase in PAR over HID has exposed so many bottlenecks to increased yields for me-I love it though, just means there is plenty of room to improve. I don't even need higher yields, it's just more of a fun challenge to keep me pushing forward and trying new things. Good luck with your current grow, you're going to kill it!
