After 11 weeks I finally chopped this girl down:

That was almost two weeks ago

Here she is all chopped and hanging:

Should end up with about 6 zips.

Here is one of the colas:

And here is another:

This is my last plushberry, she's been a good strain for the last year. Unfortunately I lost the cutting I took from her to spider mites.

This one was under my cheap, $2 ebay COBs (6 at about 25-30W each) and a blurple Galaxy Hydro panel (135W). Last plant in that spot gave me 212 g after drying and curing. but this one was a lot smaller - she had issues in Veg and was stunted for weeks.

Unrelated, but it appears you used stranded wire on your strip build... did you tin the wires and use the push-in connectors on the strips or?

After connecting 22 strips with 18ga. thermostat wire, I'm not eager to use that shit again. The insulation is crap and I would think twice before using it on a HV series connected light. Hell, I cut that insulation with my fingernail while inserting into the strip connectors.

Decades ago I zapped myself with hundreds of volts dc (plate voltage), something I NEVER want to do again! It threw me back in my chair with my heart pounding and scared me half to death. I just sat there, waiting for my heart to calm down. It was far worse than 7500vac from a neon sign transformer and makes 120vac look like a walk in the park.

I used 18 gauge stranded speaker wire - pretty thick insulation. But I'm also running them in parallel at 24 volts, so there minimal shock hazard there. I don't recall if I tinned the wires when I rewired it with the distribution blocks - I may have. Yes I am using the push-in connectors.

DC is definitely not fun to get hit with. I had the 2nd Anode from a 25 inch console TV discharge through me once. Pretty much caused my brain to reboot.

Hmm! Thermostat wire is probably not safe enough. Maybe look for something different with H05V-U(300V) or H07V-U(500V) certification. Is something printed on your thermostat wire?
