That's great news can't wait for the update your probly really starting to be able to see those nugs, and what's it like in Canada do you get a salary in canada or more independent like you vend the stuff for the price you want to clubs and stuff? I'm in calimso you basicly just "vend" your stuff for donations.
Prior to this newly proposed set of regulations for medical marijuana compassionate clubs especially the one I worked at was incredibly cheap and ripped off growers trying to do it legally by not offering them very much for weed (1700/1800) per pound. The required minimum now will be 2800 a pound because of all the quality control that is going to be set in place. If you are interested about it at all I suggest you look up the Canadian gazette part 1 on medical marijuana proposed changes for 2013/2014. We will be aloud to profit from our actions but under extremely strict quality controlled & security monitored conditions.

Hell yeah that's good there setting a standard for the pounds same here in calli they low bal you lik crazy it's really not worth it to vend to them I know plenty of other dudes with delivery services or patients to serve too instead of getting ripped off by a club owner but nice 2800 is a fair price if it is top quality and with all that quality control, do you guys have much outdoor up,there not really because it's all frozen up there? Because 18 or 17 for indoor is ridiculously cheap

That is good news. Two years ago 3200 was the standard for a lb of top shelf but your stoked to get $2800 now. I welcome any kind of standards and testing to weed out those that are producing schwag

Yeah and idk if you remember but like 4 or 5 years ago it was like 38 or 4000 for top shelf even in Cali it is crazy how much the prices drop the more that more people get into growing

Helllllllyeahhh! Gettin some fatt nugs in there what week r they on there?
They are on week 4, Just about the half way point. They where flowering slower in the start because I was unable to run more than 1 light at a time once our old A/C blew so that kind of slowed things down. But the last 3 weeks have been a ton of progress everyday they are swelling a lot. Those pics dont really do much justice they where just quick snaps of the main canopy the video will do better :)

He'll yeah! Your in the golden week my friend! I would highly suggest hitting them with a kelp extract foliar spray 2x a week for the next 2 weeks. Wards off mineral def and boosts growth rates. The shit is the bomb dude!!

BUT, you have to get KELP extract that is produced from cold processes North Atlantic kelp (A. nodosum). All the other stuff is no where near as effective. If its not black as tar it the wrong stuff. I use the mega concentrated sea green from primordial solutions. I don't use it in flower except after week 3. It can boost growth rates and cause stretch. But in the latter weeks it can really help prevent a deficiency that will reduce yield an the PGRs will help bulk things up a bit.

Happy growing

hey chronicknowledge. are you using a light mover? Because in your pics it looks like the light isnt strong over the plants in a lot of areas...but in those areas you are getting good bud production. I am wondering because I am gonna use my 400 watt light to grow in my 6x8 room. I figured my growing space will be 3x3 ft but shit ill fit more in there if I can extend my growing area 4x4 or larger. Whats the deal? Thanks

Light movers will not increase weight or total harvest. More watts=more grams
Or at least that has been my experience. They are good for veg though to help alleviate stretch along the edges

i use one for flower and have increased my yields just do to the extra sq footage ive gotten available. but on a side note i wouldnt flower with less than a 1000hps. still have dense buds in a 4x8 with one light. ;)

Whoa man thanks for those tips ! Also thanks for the kind words as usual bro ! Stay tuned lots of updates comming in the final stretch now :) I will have to post up a list of all the nutrients I use exactly I am pretty sure we use something similar to what your describing. Its called plantacilin. Might be wrong though !

Thanks for those kind words bro & sorry for the slow response. Its a result of my own designed adjustable frame the lights are hung on. It acts as an adjustable roof it is lined with polly on top so it forces 100% of the light down none escapes upwards. I might not be the first to do this, If i am awesome but its a great technique I came up with myself for this grow when I re-built my room, I hope you can benefit from it as well !

Light escapes from the reflectors and goes all around but when you put something that forces all that light down you increase your use able lummen count at least in my opinion. I have noticed a HUGE difference since doing it.

Video came out in shitty quality so I am re-doing it, I dont know why but it was very choppy after compression & looked like shat. So expect that up by tomarow night. Here are some new pics as of 1 hour ago. Enjoy guys & thanks for making my first grow journal a very active one. I hope you all follow me for all future grows as well !

Hopin for dem pounds off this crop ! At least a few. 2+ ill be happy. These plants had a ruff start but they have come along way in 3 months.

Please make sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for further developments on our road to becoming commercial producers under the new health canada laws. We will try to be making it into a weekly episode installment type thing that follows us from start all the way through while we are running & a look at our inner workings as a company & one of the first in the new wave of medical growers.

Its about watts/ sq ft. Most will tell you 50w per sq ft is where you want to be. 4x4 under a 1k light = 62. Your at 31 which is very much less than ideal. I guess if you got more yield then you got more yield, I think in general however if you have the extra space, add more light, not a mover.
