I'd love to sit here an bs away with 'conclusions,' but i cant......the bottom-most is larf, like always, but they had the least time to develop, and the under-canopy light couldn't do much for them. However, I do think that it helped the plant finish more uniformly, and the lower buds are nicer than ever. It's not really a proper 'experiment' so it's difficult to draw any conclusions. Plants keep getting bigger with each grow, so it's hard to say what the effect of one thing is until I hit a plateau and measurable differences can become apparent....so, long story short, idk

Well, I chopped down the other LSD yesterday and did a little measuring: got 70 grams dried off the first LSD and 58 grams dry off the C99
One of the C99 tops had a little bud rot, unfortunately, so I bet it would have been nearer to the LSD's yield without the loss. Still, not too bad for 11 weeks total time. I'm chopping down the Tangie x GTH#1 once the other LSD is dry...ooh she looks good...I'll get some pics once she's down

Well, I'm pretty excited...got some Crockett Family Farms Tangie seeds coming...looks like I'll be smoking that sweet leaf next spring Got a little over 40 grams from the other LSD (she only had two main colas), but still not bad The Tangie x GTH #1 is still drying...should be done tomorrow...I chopped one branch earlier because I was dicking around with the plant trying to rearrange the branches, and I kinked the stem...it was so heavy, I just chopped it off...~14 grams dry from that one
Here she is right before I chopped her down:
And here's a couple dried nugs from the first branch I harvested:

I'm so ordering these beans. Expensive little fuckers, but that's a must-have for me, especially seeing that last pic.Well, I'm pretty excited...got some Crockett Family Farms Tangie seeds coming...looks like I'll be smoking that sweet leaf next spring

Got the girls into the flower tent...they have a staggered veg, and the different strains should help distribute the finishing times so that I can get the perpetual grow going with a constant veg tent load too I'm going to top them at least once or twice more, while they start to stretch, so hopefully we can really fill the tent with colas. The Dr. Grinspoon was repotted into the biggest pot I have- she is my baby
Had a total of 64 grams from the TxGTH....so around 240 grams from the four plants in 1 qt pots, 13/11 from seed. That will definitely last me until the next harvest I think I can still grow bigger plants in the same size pots...they just need more tops, so that's the goal this time....we'll see!
Let's hope for a female with that Bodhi seed!!!

Nice lineup you have there, digging your strain choices. Best of luck with that Bodhi bean.Plastic pot for the DR!.........................like the way you run the blu-mats== sensor on one side ,dripper on the other, very smart.
I don't run my Blumats like that, but I do keep the dripper about 8cm away, sometimes more. Seems to work fine, I run 5 gallon smartpots, I'm thinking I will switch to 3 gal in the future though. I can't tell how your supply lines are configured, almost looks like they all have their own line from a reservoir? Res outside the tent, I assume?
I'm scared of plastic and glazed ceramic pots, I admire your audacity, I might even call you an "intrepidude." I just made up a word, lulz

yeah, it's just four separate lines that go out through the intake port of the tent, next to the ducting. I used to have them connected together, but I like having individual lines better so that I can control the nutes to each plant separately, even though I usually feed them all the same thing. The lines just go into some gallon jugs that I have and are fed by gravity, so I just pull the hose out and put it into a new, clean, full gallon jug of water to 'refill the res.'
Haha though, you guys are killing me
There's really nothing to the pots...just the same as any other pots, but they don't dry out as fast as the fabric containers....that's the only difference I can think of
But yeah PSU, I was thinking that the Dr. Grinspoon should get the big pot so she can be as spoiled as possible My thought for putting the dripper across the plant and the pot from the sensor would be that it would have to saturate the roots of the plant before it got the sensor, so the dirt in the pot would have as uniform of a moisture level as possible. Idk...just how I've been doing it

I love that setup with the gallon jugs!
I've been trying to think of a minimal-labor way to do that for the same reasons you are, but the answer was so simple I missed it. That's actually simpler than what I do now, and more flexible. Many thanks.

Could you please add your results to this thread?

are you trying to boil water with that light sitting in the middle ?The pace is starting to pick up in the tent

hehe, no that's just for when the canopy fills out to get some more light to the lower parts of the plants.
