Bad times

I grow for myself and some friends and 4 plants provides PLENTY of bud. I can legally have 12 plants here, and I've grown as many as 6 at once, but I dropped back down to 4 because I had way more weed than I knew what to do with. I have close to a pound on hand here at any given time.

In today's world, saving a whole bunch of cannabis for the purposes of possible bartering would be a wise idea. After my bud is cured in jars long enough, I bundle it with my vacuum sealer into 1, 2 and 4 ounce bricks and throw them into the freezer. I'm hovering about 10lbs stored currently. Been saving for a while, but it adds up when you harvest every five weeks ;)
 
Look at it this way, look at nature. When transplanting outdoors in even southern parts of Canada can reach as low as 9 degrees mid June. I have started a transplant in this temp and it finished in early October with 3 ounces of beautiful weed. It would have produced much more, but this is what it produced under the sun conditions I get here and a few times torrential rain and 90kmh winds which certainly slowed it down


You can get 4-5 ounces off a single indoor plant under the right conditions. I pulled 6 ounces off the 4 plants in my first grow that was under 300W COB LED. More plants doesn't equal more yield. Yield is dependent on the amount of light you provide and the dimensions of the canopy.
The king kong can give you well over 1 lbs in the right conditions. 4 to 5 ounces is just an average. Read up on it. Over 700g

My 4-5 oz estimation was more for hobbiest grows. I've seen single indoor plants that yielded pounds before. Some guy on reddit posted a picture of a plant his company vegged for some ungodly number of months, so it had an enormous canopy, and they pulled some rediculous yield off of that plant. IIRC they yielded something like 6 or 7 pounds off of it.

I went for the cheapest seeds I could find, even if I got better seeds I would have had issues anyway I think as I’m just getting started with it, is that growing in coco outdoors ? Maybe it’s just the crappy led lights I had and bad ventilation.

100 ounces :shock::hump: I’ll be happy if I get 5 oz off of all 9 of these.

I had went from rock wool indoors (a clone) to shultz soil outdoors surrounding the rock wool and regular soil of a compost garden. The compost does amazing results, i know someone else that used it and tried his weed. He just didnt dry or cure it properly to get the berry undertone that I get
 
Here's THE POST I was talking about. Final weight was 7lbs 10oz.

Here's a picture of the beast

Here is my previous grow. They are long gone up in smoke but i had around 1.3 lbs. There were just too many bunched up and heat stress, only the kongs didnt go hermie, but all the white Russians did. Nonetheless they were all good smoke but the King Kong was the hardest hitter with a powerful but not harsh smoke. I am amazed they actually did well under this crammed condition.

Cheap seeds are fine but when using, the ones that are more brown and less white and more large usually have better results. I never bought a seed on my life

LED and cool temps don't go well for most people, adding the HPS and the heat it provides and the needed air exchange should pick things up.
Plus learning how to properly grow in coco and you should be laughing soon fella.

They are noticeably better today, leaves are a lot shinier, theres just one plant thats gone deformed.. Any ideas what might be causing that ? I think that ones a goner.

That is the plan as i know coco can get good results.. What would you consider better hydro or coco ?

I am more on the understanding you need to have a nice bit of warmth and a good air circulation that way I can flush and whatever else without having to worry so much about stagnant moisture etc.. i think where I messed up was having them to wet and in to big of pots and not enough air and warmth when they were babies, aswell as not getting the nutrients right but guess that will come with time.. my first time round was a disaster I never buffered the coco.. never even had a ph tester :(

If its canna coco its ready to go out the bag, its a very well established brand and pretty much all I ever use.

Your right, the cool temps with the LED means plants don't transpire much and don't absorb nutrients as good.
Cant stress the importance of PH either.

Good LEDs are awesome when everything can be dialled in, they just lack the heat a HPS gives out which is beneficial in cold times but a massive negative in really hot times.

Horses for courses mate.

I love hydro, but it is extra noise I can do without, which is why I love coco more. Plus despite some issues getting the hang of coco its really very simple and gives you time to address problems where hydro is quick, if shit goes sideways it can do so fast.

The run off on the deformed one and another in the bigger pots was nearly at 7 the ph that went in was 6.2 lowered it a bit more came out at 6.3 Guessing that was the problem now i know the run off is a important factor.

High temps don't go well either, there's a balance required

Mine are growing in miracle grow potting soil. 1 don't add nutes in this type of medium except for bone meal mid flowering. Yes, ventilation is important after around 1 month of growth but s fan can be and should be used sooner than that, only blowing at top of plant
 
Is this soil or coco? You say coco in the beginning but then you say soil later on. Coco should never be dry and you have to constantly feed. Your plants look hungry and unhealthy which leads me to think you are growing them in coco but treating them like they are growing in soil. How
You don't need to rinse canna coco and you don't need perlite, though lots like to use it.
How do you like comments
 
Cold is usually the issue at night but an adjustable heater can do the job, but i have air being sucked into the room slowly from the house which keeps temps reasonable. No smells in house either
