To a point but my lemon kush is a high yield plant and so far seems like I hit a wall at 2 pounds or a lil more.
I have gone down to 8 pots from 14 my last try. So that may help some but now they really have to produce with less pots

lol, I think I told you a while back you might do better with far less in that 4x8. Hell, I bet you could go to 6 plants even and possibly yield more. That size has been lurking in the back of my mind for some time. My thought is 6 plants and lighting at either 2 x 1000's or 3 x 600w, or 2 x 600w with 400w in middle.
 
im dropping to 8 plants in 4x8 this run as it was a touch crowded by the end with ten. i think 10 is fine if u scrogging though but i was pretty lazy when it came to putting support in for this run.

I'm hoping this is my last grow in tents but we will see how it goes. Temps and humidity seem to be much easier to control when it's in a entire room and not tents. Will do LST in the lemon kush tent and see what happens.....I will be asking everyone lotsa questions lol

I am running heavy twine in my tent and when I get a chance I'll take some pictures and post them in my journal and explain my plan.
 
i like to run twine too mate. just zig zag it from one side of room to the other. Its not prctical scrogging or putting too much support in when using individual buckets though as it makes it hard work doing res changes.
 
so heres what i will use to dry the bud. The room isnt completely dark as there is 500w of cfls/t5's on for my cuttings and mother. Not ideal but its not in direct light and in darkest corner of room. have gentle fan circulating air around the net.

this will be full in a day or 2

And a few pics of another plant i took down today. just under 8 weeks from start 12/12. about 20% amber. took it down to give space to let others ripen off. so thats 2 down in total.

Wow C.
Frosty BUSH!!!!
 
Ya Bro, nice bush you got there:thumb: You could always throw up a barrier of some sort to block the light from hitting your drying nugs, but I don't think a little light will really effect them much at all. Congrats on the partial harvest!!:bravo:

My last harvest dried in a room with partial light. And they turned out fine.
Actually the nugs came out way greener than the grow before that, which was dried in complete dark.
Not sure if drying in a dark environment really has a bearing on final color, but it'd be an easy project finding out..
 
Ya, I was kinda wondering the same thing when I posted that. I've dried some buds on the top half of a 5x5 tent, with just a piece of floor covering paper to divide. There was definitely light passing through the sides and the buds turned out good. I would be interested to know for sure if the light plays a negative roll in the drying process.
 
the light is meant to break down the thc from what i understand, after the nugs are cut from plant that is. but from what i understand its direct strong light thats causes issues.
