Well again less than 2 lbs and I will feel unsatisfied..... you can do it!!!!

 

[Rider509]

My goodness the hairs in that second picture. My bald head is jealous

All of the buds look like that, Tunkers. They just don't show up well unless I use flash like I did in that photo. It's freaking unreal. And the smell is so cheesy pineapple with just a hint of skunk. It doesn't smell like any of the weed I used to smoke that smelled like, you know... weed. Real weed, not this designer "boy band" weed. I may have to break my self-imposed abstinence and roll a fatty to see what it tastes like. Or not. Probably not.

It's a funny thing, the feeling about the smell of weed. I don't smoke it either but having that smell around all the time was one of the reasons I started growing. I love going out the shed in the morning and smelling all that's going on in there before I even get close to the door!

Me too, Shed! After I stopped smoking I'd still love to bury my nose in a bag of weed and just breathe it in when friends had it. I love the smell of weed. I just wish I could enjoy the effects like most here do. It's the same with opiates and opioids. My brain chemistry must be whack. But that's OK... I have the pirates to slow my whack-a-mole roll.

“Designer Boy Band weed”! That cracked me up!

 

[Scrogdawg]

Heres a comparison.

With my MTTS I yielded 663 grams dry. That plant used about 75% of my available 800(advertised)watts or 600 watts over +/-7 ft² area. That crunches out to 1.1 grams per watt.

You have 800 true watts and a much more controlled environment than I had. Your MTPC should yield better than I did without a doubt. 1 gram/watt in your grow would be underachieving and I don't see that happening.

 

[Rider509]

I like the way you think, Scrogdawg. A few more weeks will tell the tale. I guess I'd better start thinking about a drying room, and bone up on that whole procedure. Weasel said that the biggest drawback to the PC is a tendency to mold and it'd suck to blow this grow during the dry. I

 

[Rider509]

Rise and shine, ladies! It's time to start the day!

 

[Rider509]

They were so cute when they were little.

 

[TheMadDabber]

That's cute.... he called them little.

 

[Scrogdawg]

I like the fan on the drivers. Good call.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Sick!

 

[Rider509]

I like the fan on the drivers. Good call.

Just an added precaution. The drivers are in cruise mode and barely get warm. Once the plants are out of there I want to crank the system up to 2400W and see how hot things get.

edit: I hot rodded that power strip to handle the amperage. Pulled out the 15A breaker and replaced it with a DPST 20A 125V switch, and pulled out the 14ga wire and replaced it with 10ga. I'm running 12ga all the way to the power strip off of a 20amp breaker.
edit edit: the pigtail from the power strip is now 12ga. this is an older photo.

 

[Scrogdawg]

I asked a electrician friend of mine about replacing a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp in my panel because everything I have runs off of one circuit. He couldn't say it out loud of course, but told me it wouldn't hurt a thing. I bought the breaker and its still laying on my desk a year later. I'm obviously not drawing 15 amps, but I have to be close.

 

[Rider509]

As long as the in-wall wiring is 12ga you would still be in code. Although, the inspector may take issue with the receptacle if it wasn't replaced with a 20A device. A standard 15A receptacle will handle 20A with no problem.

Do you have fuses or breakers, Scrogdawg?

 

[Scrogdawg]

Sorry, I have breakers not fuses.

 

[JustMeds]

If you are enjoying yourself and what you are doing, Score.

Sounds like we are in the same boat. I have an old house with old school 60 amp glass fuse breakers. Sketchy right? Lol I worry all the time how close I am to 15 amps. I have to be around 11 I would assume. Just by adding the wattage and dividing it by volts. I know my lines are 110 so. You can always do it that way to have a rough idea. For instance the new quantum board at 240 watts should be just over 2 Amps in power. 2.2 I believe.

 

[Rider509]

I feel like the Walter White of weed in my Tyveks.

 

[Tunkers]

Well now I just look ridiculous...
