I always have a oz or so stashed away for myself in between grows if I end up getting rid of most quickly. But honestly 90% of my buds are gone the moment I finish my 2 week cure. If I could grow more I would because the demand for dank is great. In my area of the country prices only keep going up or stay steady, just like gold.

I know what you mean but i trust very few growers and only get rid of what i want to, (within a day its gone)
I could get shoot of 20oz's+ wet after 4 days of drying as the quality of weed round where i live is bad and sell for £180-£200 an oz

I try to keep my plant count low and will only use a max of 2x 600w light for flower
I could use 6 x 600w lights in my flower room but know i will do time if i get raided
but 2x 600w and 10 plants, i will do a little community service, i hope

You are in the good old UK? Your currency is almost twice as valuable as ours here in the states. That's about the prices here, 200 pounds is 320 US, average here is about 350 US but regulars get it for about 320. But this is HIGH quality prices here so I imagine there high quality could go for much much more.

I use the exact same wattage, although when my veg room is empty for the 3 weeks after the move to flower I tend to shoot my plants an extra 400 watt hps bare bulb in the center, then remove it when my veg goes active and goes from low watt T5s to 400 MH by week 3. But this is to save money and not lower my footprint being I can legally grow up ot

I'd be more paranoid in the UK if I wasn't legal. Here everything is such a clusterfuck I wouldn't even worry.

But being we are both legal growers we got nothing to worry about, right?

yeh legal grows good

you are right about high quality weed goes for a lot more money but i don't want to have lots of growers knowing i grow weed so
i take what i think is a good price and get rid of quick and think about my next grow

I am not in it for lots of money, just want some weed and a little pocket money to cover my costs of electric and equipment.

my 600w lumatek dimmable digital ballasts are really good as i can move the plants from my 5t's under the hoods and put 600w mh bulb in and set at 300w for a week and them 400w,then 600w for the first 3 weeks in flower and then put the hps light in, changing the bulb and turn it up to 670w

They don't lose lums over time or get hot as my old magnet coil ballast did and had to change every 2 years as they got really hot in the end
my lumatek dimmable digital is still working well after 2 years and only get warm
should get 4-5 years from these ballasts

Ya I'm not in it for the money either, if I was I'd be doing a dozen 600s and 24+ plants for 12+ pounds every 2 months.
50% goes to close folks, 40% to other and 10% for me. I only need a few ozs to get me through 2 months plus I always have a bunch of hash and trim to make hash.

Nothing better then Lumatek digi's. You can both dim and dial-a-watt on most versions. Mine are warm to the touch, give off very little heat. Absolutely silent and light enough to mount outside on top or side of rooms up high so what heat they do produce dissipates well. Some even have the extra outlet to hook up their heatsink/fan on top.

5 year warranties. If you have receipt and ballast and it fails within that time you get a new one free minus ship charge to send back ballast. Can't beat that.

When you said i would grow more if i could
I was thinking have lots of patients need medicine (dank weed) and had run out of room to grow in
but if i was in the usa doing a legal grow with a limited amount of plants i would do lots of very large plants and make loads of money

and keep the best weed for me


yer will keep to Lumatek digi's as they are the best

thanks

From bottom left going clockwise is

Black Widow(has not shown pistils or sex yet)
Super Silver Haze(female no pistils yet)
Great White Shark(female pistils began day 6 from 12/12)
Sweet Tooth(female pistils began day 5 from 12/12)

I fed weak nutes(tiger bloom-big bloom-open sesame) last day of veg and today, just water(protekt-calmagplus) in between.
Stopped Great White day 3 flower, last Kangaroots will be used next watering and Microbe goes until about week 7-8.
It seems I have less issues and better growth when I fed weak, less is more. All plants have consistent 6.5 pH runoff.

I don't have pics of last harvest because it all went quickly but Sweet Black Angel was 7.5 zips, Waikiki Queen was 7 zips, the two earth juice girls which were THC Bomb and Le Fruit Defendu were each 4.25 zips. Disappointing harvest. Expected 32 zips got 23. Big issue was Earth Juice. Couldn't dial it in, yellowed early and could not maintain health leaves. Even though the consensus so far is the THC Bomb is a 10/10, Defruit a close 9/10, the Angel and Queen both 8/10, I'm still done with Earth Juice. The favoritism is strain related I believe, if I would of grew the THC Bomb and Fruit using Fox Farm nutes I would of also had half pounders each.

So here is my system which the next grow will be based on.

In final pots FFOF 75%-chunky perlite 15%-worm castings 10%. 5 gallon fabric pots.

Entire Fox Farm lineup minus Sledgehammer.

Humic acid, Earth Juice Hi-Brix molasses, Calmagplus, pro-tekt, great white. Earth Juice pH up and down.

New Veg grow begins Oct 12. Strains will be Cotton Candy, Bubble Gummer, LSD and White Queen. All new strains except LSD which was requested again. Will be sure to start new journal from germination this time.

Peace.


Edit-

Black Widow-53"
Super Silver Haze-54 1/2"
Great White Shark-42"
Sweet Tooth-40"

The plants are looking good thehole,

Its good you have no Hermie plants,
and your plants are just starting to grow buds


and not sure that emma is a Hermie plant, as the little growth on emma looked like a male part but has not changed since i uploaded the pic,

so i will check it every day just in case,
thanks

almost day 6 for sativa dominants on left, day 12 for full indicas on right. From signs of first white pistils.

Hardly any nutes needed yet. Feeding nutes either every other watering or every third, at about 1/4 strength. The pro-tekt and humic acid really allows one to use much less nutes then normal. Only a few weeks in and i can already tell these will be 8-10 oz plants easy. Once you do so many strains and see what conditions they are in in the early weeks of flower, it's easy to predict, only factors are if a serious issue would happen from now until cut.

Gotta keep things positive!

Only using 2-600s, will use extra 400 bare bulb in middle next round to see yield differences with similar strains.

Wow those are monsters. Looking good.
