Another 9-10 week strain? Yeah, either SCROG or SOG, is where I'd say the LED lights do best...

I'm loving the sativa experience too much to grow so soon, but I promised myself the third grow would be for something like white russian or white widow. You know, a classic.

I have a final dry weight.

472.38g
16.66oz
1.04lb

This a yield of 0.738g/watt, which is above the minimum target I had set myself (0.5g/watt) but below my "ultimate" target of 1g/watt. Which leaves room for improvement on my next grow.

Summary report

First branch was chopped at day 70 of bloom, but could have been harvested as early as day 65 according to the trichomes profile when I reviewed my journal and photos.
The last branch was chopped at day 98 of bloom, but since this plant was affected by a light leak, it shouldn't be used as an reliable indication for this strain

Issues encountered that may have affected yield:
1. A light leak encountered a few weeks into bloom delayed harvest on a plant significantly and caused visible stress in the form of multiple, large single-bladed leaves appearing all along the stems.
2. A severe nute burn occured during a 2 day period mid-way in bloom when PPM shot up to 1230PPM due to lack of supervision
3. A lack of plants vs available resources. I could have easily stuck 4 plants in this tent, which would have sped vegging by a lot and would have made better use of the screen

I hope you enjoyed the journal, I know I enjoyed writing it and sharing the experience with you. I'm extremely happy with the results, and I am thankful for all the help I received.

This is a good first harvest, I hope it presages a good cultivating career :) CBD Yummy, here I come!

Yeah, you can't really complain too much about that yield, genetics might have even had a part to play. I come up with about .715g/w but I rounded down to 472 and I used 330w since that's what another grower got when he put his SS400 on a kill-a-watt. ;)

When does the next journal start? We'll help you ,if needed, in that thread too... :D

New grow is underway, I will post when I'm well into veg and close to bloom.

Sadly a 54 hours power outage killed my CBD Yummy seedlings, so I had to start all over again.
