I want to say thanks to this community, I have been reseaching horticulture for months before getting my hands green first, these forums have had the answers to any issue I have faced so far. I believe I should had aimed for a few more inches above the net, theyre 6-8 inches right now, 12 inch colas would have been more efficient.
 
Incase anyone is wondering, it is well below freezing here right now. This is likely the only reason I can run 2,000w of hps in a tight area. I actually had to use a heater while the lights were on one day it was -38 celcius. I will likely have to dim to 600w through the summer months.
With the tent this crowded I've been fighting humidity, now the outside temps have lowered a bit causing the 8 inch exhaust to turn on more often, which has drastically reduced humidity(into the 40s) I use a dehumidifier in the room the tent is in.
This is a 9 week strain, this pheno is a lower yeilder but higer potency. The end is only a few weeks away, hoping for an easy finish.
Any feedback, questions or advice is welcome don't be shy!
 
Thankyou sir. Anyone have any special ways to trim without a machine? Ive helped a friend trim and I can tell this will take days, 900 or so colas/buds. Ive seen the dry trim shake bag or you can use a bucket. Id prefer to wet trim.

Friends... many friends. Unless you want to use a mechanized trimmer. The bowl trimmers I hear aren't bad. They cut a little extra, but are about the same as a lazy scissor job. I'm going to try one this go around. Mainly because I don't mind the extra trimmings for blasting oil.
 
Many friends, I agree with LB07.

Myself and 2 friends attacked my very dense 4x4 screen with 4 plants in it a week ago. Collectively we had 22 man hours of trimming before we were done. They each took an ounce home as a lovely parting gift. lol.
 
Ah for sure another pair of snips would certainly help me and the wife. I really do want a trim pro.. Maybe next time. Let me know how the bowl trimmer turns out!

Week 6 of flower
Comparison 5-6

Week 6 brought mostly thickening of the lower buds. Compare the light penetration difference to the buckets.
Trichome production is in full effect with the 1000 watts blasting the canopy from 19 inches above.
Nutrient ppms are at 700@.5 (1400μS) will be gradually reducing them to 600ppm throughout the week
 
Holy shit that looks good
Trimming is fun on the crown Royale because they have 8 million tiny leaves haha but it's worth every minute of it very good I think
