First Grow! 1500W COB LED All Tips And Advice Wanted

Haha yea that and I did way to much topping and fimming I thought why not more the better but then you get alot of smaller less stacked buds. One of the colas I topped must have been right at the perfect time because its 2 seperate buds on 1 top..

@InTheShed I looked at your lst tutorial maybe I said that wrong cuz I did it exactly like that I meant I topped it then pulled the main stem down then I used these soft wire ties to hold it in position as it grew a big ole knuckle formed at the base over time does that mean I went to aggressive with the lst? i continued to add soft wire ties to hold down an out branches as it grew but I think I put the net down without pulling the branches away from each other enough.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had topped it first. The knuckles I was referring to were ones that form where the stem bends:

rather than the ones that are where the branches come off the main. Topping itself would be high stress training (anything that injures the plant and makes it recover) but tying the new growth out would definitely be low stress.
 
Harvesting the triple sour today I did my best to get her to the end she started losing all of her leaves and even the sugar leaves were all crunchy so I decide its time just about 10-11 weeks of flower. I'm putting her into 48 hours of darkness then I'll do the actual harvest excited to see my very first harvest curing up in mason jars!

The white shark girls are still going no crunchy leaves and they still have some fan leaves no amber trichomes yet so I'm gona let them go a little longer..

This is where the fun starts! :thumb: getting them this far.
 
I cut down the triple diesle Sunday now I got her hanging in a dark cupboard drying while the other 2 sharks finish up.

I also decided I'd spend the money and get another led rig I went with a 240w hlg 3000k 2 panel kit cant wait to flower the next batch with it!

Congratulations on the harvest! Looks heavy AF :thumb:

And congrats on pulling the trigger a new light...can't wait to see it in action.

Oh, if you're the handy type (and looking at the size of that trunk), check out BeezLuiz's thread on pipe-making!

Tutorial: Homemade Pipe Made From Your Plant Remains

After posting pictures of my pipe on THIS THREAD, there were several requests for a tutorial. So here is my attempt at that. There's a bunch of pics so hopefully I don't get anything out of order. Here's the original pipe, but in this tutorial I'll be making a new one from the start: First...

LOL! On your kitchen-making breaks...who's to know :). Looks like wood-work to anyone watching!
 
Harvest went well besides the crazy allergic reaction I had to all the pollen flying around I had to get masks I was a mess smh.

Anyways the final harvest from my first grow the triple diesle is 138.69g total the shark is hung up and drying now.

For anyone curious because we were talking about plant heights, I have a buddy in the LED industry with me and he made me a prototype that was 500W actual and I kept it 6" off my plants with and got more than 1.5g/w. Couldn't feel heat at 6". But anyways I'll leave this to other people to comment so you get some diversity. Good luck!

I have my lights 6 inches away. From the wall I am drawing 610 watts. It's warm but not hot. You can read about my lights in my sig. I also have a fan which helps. Nice job on your grow.

The final dry weight for the white shark pheno A was 135.11 grams I'm shocked it was in a 3gall smart pot and produced almost exactly as much as the 5 gallon did honestly I cant believe i got what i did lol just makes me want to learn more an do better!

I really need to get a camera i suck taking pics with my note 8 its getting outdated anyway but I did what I could. The trimming took wayyy longer than I thought hopefully have the last shark plant B all done by the weekend .
