Big Pot Harvest Day 58

Ok all the trimming is finally done took a while longer than i expected, well that and juggling being a father. Had to stop trimming an hour before collecting my daughter from nursery to be able to destink myself, she was a real sticky smelly girl.

Have got the big buds hanging in my drying cupboard at between 16c-24c and 30%-40% RH, and then a few small buds drying faster hanging in a box that through the day is left in the sun it sits at 35c and 10% RH, then finally the box of trim this is all sugar leaf that is more than 75% trichs, this will keep me in smoke till the buds have dried and started curing and stops me smoking it all before it cures.

Wet weight including stems, as i am hanging to dry is 152g, oh yeah and a nice little bowl of fresh scissor hash dont mind if i do.

You are an artist there Spanglish! Great grow. The two pot size comparison deserves max rep! :slap:

Great data for potential sog growers like me ;)
 
Nice job. Beautiful looking nuggets there.

Thanks bro, i always get a bit OCD when it comes to trimming finish each bud about 15 times as i keep catching a sugar leaf out of place and go a bit more lol.

Thanks brother, beautiful compliment coming from such a competent grower as you. Good to hear that the data can be of help, the original idea behind it was how many i could fit in a small space like mine for a mini SOG (40cmx60cm floor space, have got a original Super Root 1L airpot now and have worked out could fit 9-12 plants in there (12 being very tight and 9 comfortably with room to move them, still to early to say till i harvest and weigh little pot but should be 1/2 oz there.

0.5 x 12 = 6oz
0.5 x 9 = 4.5oz

With a 6L airpot that i have just got that is only a little smaller than the 11L square pot used this grow, will only get 1-2 plants in there (2 being a very uncomfortable squeeze) the average for a Sour Crack in a good sized pot seems to be 1.5-2oz, so 1.5-4oz in the same space, obviously this will all depend on phenos and light coverage so weights are going to be variable.

But i reckon it should be possible to fit 36-48 1L pots per 1 square metre, yielding 18-24oz of high grade flowers between 55-60 days, jesus christ looking at those numbers if i was 15 years younger and still in the UK, me and my mates could have made a fortune from this idea lol.

In my head the numbers work out but i have been vaping my test nugs all morning, so feel free to call me out if i messed them up or overlooked something.

Yes the data is quite helpful. After finishing my test grow with this strain. I'm sure that with the proper trimming these should bag an ounce per 11 liter pot easy. My new stuff is about five days going now so we will see... Should be fun ;)
 
Sorry if I've misread, 1 litre to go full term would be very small and would require watering pretty frequently.
Maybe you could knock up a bed to almost the size of your space. If it wasn't deep And even if plants stayed small you could get a nice little blanket o' buds :)
 
Yeah thats one of the things that is putting me off the idea, as the test girl this time round in the 1L pot has needed daily feeding and then twice daily for the last 3 weeks of her life, so yeah would be alot of work hand feeding them all. Like the idea of a small bed with them in gonna have to try one of the two in the future when space allows it, but either way is can see her being a perfect strain to run in big numbers in small spaces to maximize yield from space available in finishing in crazy fast times.
 
Well Spanglish there is more possible with small Pots than you think. I had 4 L Coco Pots and Tyrone Special yielded short under 2 oz and Deep Blue C bit over 1,5 Oz. I think there was more possible but i did cut of the Veg nutes pretty early on them.
