Very clean and looks great! I just got my LEDs and lenses. It looks like the lenses require running the wires back through the heatsink. :-/ I wanted to minimize my drilling since I only have a hand drill but these lenses are really going to make me drill a lot. LOL

What do 80 degree lenses do? Throw it further or spread it out? sorry to ask such basic questions. :(

yeah, its a lot of drilling. the 80 deg lenses focus the light. A standard cob has a spread of 115-120 deg,

Beautiful buds, congrats.
I just finished some Sin Mint Cookies from Sin City seeds and it's weird, she looks way more like your Payday and not like your SMC... Did I make a mix with my beans?

Very nice dehumidifier 8.8 wow! Actually the 3.8 is impressive by my standards too Im running a 1.6 and a 2.0 LOL

If you happen to be living near the same structure the grow room is in, you can pump air from your living space in for free CO2 (sealed but recirculating). It turns out one human makes more than enough CO2 for a large grow and 2 humans make way too much. With a 110cfm cool air intake pumping outside air in, I am getting a stable 900 ppm everywhere in the house. If I shut it down and all windows closed, CO2 rises to 1500 in 24 hours and about 2500 in 48 hours.

The buds look sticky and dense nice work! Any interesting flavors from the Sin Mint?

She does kind of look like my payday. But I have seen your pheno on instagram, very good looking stuff! Is she looking like a modest yielder to you?

Were yours regs? I got a pack of sinmints and their other gsc cross from a while ago. Heard lots of herms. You got a journal or anything?

8.8 pint/kwh seemed insane to me, thats why I had to pony over the cash. I actually have the intake to my grow room inside the house to keep it under negative pressure for odor. But I am noticing 500ppm in the garden (370ppm outdoors) so I am a believer in human CO2 generators, lol.

The season 1 harvest under my cxa3070/bml was completed 5 days ago, so its finishing up drying and going in jars. Ill let you know how the flavor on the sin mint is after its had a little cure.

Yes she's definitly an awesome photo model but she's indeed a modest yielder. I think that the yield estimation by SCS is actually accurate (200 - 400gr /m²). I have another pheno (from the same bag) in my tent, she's seems to be a better yielder but there's drastically less trichomes:

Sorry but i do not have a better picture, she's in a 1gal original smartpot.

Peace

What is my regs ? Sorry but i do not understand the question. :(

I did not had any hermies on my 5 plants but i did had a nasty bud rot (mold) on almost every apex which was not right under a fan... It's a first for me, my RH is between 45 and 60% from seed to finish.
I do not have a journal for this round but i do have a picture gallery on a french cannabis forum. You need to have an account to see it, if you want the address, do not hesitate to PM me.

Peace

Your new video is good, it's cool to see the progress. You got your stuff dialed in nicely. A+ buddy.

I've seen a lot of recommendations for HID growers to rotate their plants 1/4 turn every day. To improve yield, plant structure, etc. Is this something you would want to do with LED too?

Thanks brother! Harvest yield video coming soon.

Turning the plants sounds good in theory, and is achievable if you use tomato cages or individual stakes to support large buds. Obviously, it wouldnt work for trellis nets. For me, I do some staking around week 3/4 trying to anticipate branches that are going to need support. But after that, I don't mess with the plants, for fear of them falling over, breaking branches or requiring additional hours of staking. just my 2c

Excellent

Once we get more lights I want to try running them like this (drawings below). It would have great penetration for cannabis xmas tree shape (1/4 turn daily). Fewer but larger plants are easier to maintain imo. Have you ever seen anyone run their LEDs like this?

It would obviously eat a lot of space.

My Season One series on youtube has come to completion. For the people that have not followed along, this finale video is a must watch. I save everyone the time of going back through the series by recapping everything in the first 4 mins. If you have been following along and you just want to see the final results plus yield, skip to 4:20 in the video.

I am ecstatically pleased with the quality and quantity of this harvest. Although this series was not posed as a "scientific side by side" - 1200w led vs 1200w HPS. Ill give you a little spoiler, led crushed the hps at the same dissipation. Then led stole HPS's girlfriend and took her anal virginity.

cheers and enjoy.

I was watching it on the tube, absolutely great brother. That g/w with arguably/pretentiously older tech on a full size run is incredible. The new 3590 side could be sheer record breaking. Just remembered you got co2 now too...get ready indead.
As well as Oscars for the best film and film series. Great productions both in the garden and cinematically.
It was a real pleasure to watch. Thanks for growing and showing it all.
