Reserva Privada Sour Kush (Headband) waterfarm

and just a rough estimate, you should be expecting more than a half pound from this(especially since you gotta 400w, if you get a g/per watt should be close to 14 ozs), but whatever headband doesnt make up for in yield it sure does in potency. cant wait to see trichs pack on, this strains looks magnificent towards the last few weeks to say the least, if you got the correct pheno im sure youll be seeing some cool colors on those leaves pretty soon.

I agree RIU really gave me alot of fine tuning plus the ability to become more knowledge about everything this beautiful plant has to offer. wow half pound would be great, anything over a quarter pound would be great, if i got close to 14 oz from this, I will go ape shit.

haha yeah that would be pretty killer, i bet if you did a vert or stadium grow next time you could get at least a g/watt.

not sure what a vert or stadium grow but will check it out, plus a gram a watt would be great

I get the vertical and stadium style grow, Ya that would be nice if I had a more room, But i only grow for personal use. I grow two plants at a time, in 2 tents so that would be a bit excessive for just me, but I would find something to do with it lol. Other plant is RP kandy kush and it is 5 days into 12/12 and stinks with carbon filter.

Looking awesome! Hmm, I keep feeling like I want to say something but I don't know if I should. Supposedly all plants need a certain amount of humidity to carry out it's processes like photosynthesis properly. I've heard 35% but I think that's too high for cannabis, honestly, as there just isn't a whole lot of cannabis specific research, and my notes and other folks tell me differently. I usually keep around the high 20's and very low 30s (28%-32%) and have good results. I just looked around, and it some very random sources said that too low of humidity affected the stomata of the plants, which resulted in them not taking up as much co2 and o2. I wish I had the time to find some scientific, or university published articles but I can't find any right now. I'll look later though.

Anyway - Something to toss into your playbook, if those plants start getting wilted or crispy, try bumping up the humidity 5-10% without sacrificing air flow if you could, to see the difference. Not saying you need to do this now, but if your ever looking to tweak, 15-20% humidity may be on the verge of being low. Now I'm sure once your plants are late in flowering you could crank out the humidity to promote resin production, but in the flowering stage where the foliage is still growing and expanding you could try with higher humidity.

Sorry, don't mean to fuss at you about minute details now, just wanted to bring it to your attention, before I forgot . I just feel like your leaves might look a little dry, shiny. Which could be the humidity. If your ever bored look at some plant transpiration articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpiration

No no you have me wrong! I'm not stuck up worried about someone using my pics, if I was I'd watermark them . But no I just didn't want to confuse that dude. This is your journal. I feel like times have changed, but originally RIU members were explicitly warned against posting their own photos in someone elses journal unless they were explicitly told to. So yeah, I'm not trying to take away from your thread dude!

I pulled about two twenty grams off a 250w.. those have about 30k lumens on the hortilux bulbs? How many lumens does your bulb have?

Your doing pretty much just as good as I was doing, except I did two plants that were smaller. I think your canopy is far bigger, and your light is obviously far bigger. So you should at least pull a similar yield ratio if not better. .88g x 400 = three fifty two grams.

Make sure you have a plan for that sugar leaf trim! It's F'in GLORIOUS.

could always just keep one room for a mother, take clones and fill out a mini-stadium or vert, if your gonna blow all that dough on an HID might as well use every last lumen, thats what i call true efficiency.
your gonna build up a tolerance eventually, so your probably gonna have to grow more to satisfy it, always better to have excess weed rather than worrying about being short on it, if i could id be growing fields of it and making like pounds of BHO and dry ice hash, one can only dream. are you gonna do a journal for the kandy kush lady?

My humidity is 35-40% when fan is off, I did not mean to say that you were taking anything from my thread, I just was trying to give your grow credit and say that those were your pics from your grow and not from mine. I meant do disrespect. You have help me out a bunch never wanted to offended you. i have been fighting the humidity with the fan on since I started. Will read the article. And not sure what to do with the sugar leaves. And I think my light was to close to the tops, so I raised it, so thinking that might help with my dry leaves

Ya I might look more into the mini stadium grow at some point. ANd yes you are right about rather have a excess of weed than a shortage. But I'll just update this journal with pics and progress, and start a new journal on my next strain which will be either og #18 or Mkage looking for something strong. Haven't decided yet.
