Update (62 days flower, 104 days old):
Sorry, but you're getting a quick update tonight. Hours of trimming didn't leave me with much extra time! Trimming is enjoyable sometimes, but I'm sure glad I don't have to do it for a living!
How about some numbers to start. Below are all wet weights, so they should be about 20-25% of these after drying.
NL99D (2L - 102 days old, 60 days flower) - 75.52g
NL99A (2L - 104 days old, 62 days flower) - 83.64g
NL99C (2L - 104 days old, 62 days flower) - 100.53g
C99 Heavy Defol (2.5L - 66 days old, 59 days flower) - 20.00g
C99 Regular Defol (2.5L - 66 days old, 59 days flower) - 20.93g
C99 Regular Defol (2.5L - 66 days old, 59 days flower) - 22.87g
C99 No Defol (2.5L - 66 days old, 59 days flower) - 28.05g
C99 No Defol (2.5L - 66 days old, 59 days flower) - 28.55g
Total, this should give me a dry weight of ~95g. Nothing great, as these plants covered about 1/2 of my flower space, and used one of the 180W lights. SO that's a yield of about .53 g/W. I'm definitely phasing away from SOG style plants for many reasons, and yield looks like an important factor too!
It turns that my space heater has been dialed a little too low, so the grow room has been fairly cool (mid-low 60s F). The purpling is definitely showing on both strains! The C99 turned almost black, and looks super cool. The NL99 leaves have an interesting purple too! Beautiful buds in my opinion. I harvested 2 more NL99s tonight. I didn't share any pics of the previous NL99, but I'll get a pick of all the dried bud. I have lots more pictures but I try to limit it to a reasonable amount!
And now for the C99s. It was a shame to harvest these so early, as they were still putting out lots of white pistols. I found nanners on 2/5 plants, and we can't have them spitting their imitation male pollen out in the air, ruining the fun for all the virgins, so they got the chop. These plants look stunning with the deep purple. This might be my favorite looking bud I've grown so far!
And since this is a mostly untouched subject, here's my stance on re-using perlite. Do it! Why not? I put the rootball in a tub/bucket of water and shake it until all the perlite floats to the surface. Scoop it off, put it on a piece of cardboard, and blow a fan over it for a few days in the basement.
This is the rootball from NL99D, which I harvested 2 days ago. It was my last round of plants with vermiculite, and you can see it mostly settled to the bottom. I don't see a lot of roots down there though. Coincidence!? The rootball weighed 100g, in case anyone was curious!
I may get around to posting a few more details tomorrow if I have time.
