Galaxy Brain 1 was harvested at days 77-80 no photos just labor. Heavy dank stank! Greasy resin profile and stuffed the trim and lowers into the freezer to make hash later on down the line.
Boss Hogg 1 is being phased out… big fat chunky colas with a fruity earthy aroma. These are just a few of the tops. I probably got about 20 of these tops. Definitely gonna be pounder or two.
The other Galaxy and Hogg are just running longer so probably next 14 days or so. Good think because my dryers are maxed out and order 9 more trays to stack up really full. It’s sort of a juggling act and don’t like to dry different strains in the same dryer.
@Waira me too been fun and glad to see you too. In the middle of harvest… galaxy brain 1 is a stinky bugger “Dank” plant 1 yielded 224gr of dry trim, I had high hopes for more… plant 2 will be about the same.
Boss Hogg is beastly and just the first round of tops yielded 120gr dry trim of some nice fruity money with some melt into the couch and enjoy the movie. Definitely gonna push the 1lb envelope. Plant 2 is slightly different so I’m wondering how it turns out.
@Jean-Os Blue Dog F4 is entering its final week(s) and looks amazing. The twin towers that formed from my topping at the 4th node. Left the 3rds and removed 1&2 all together.
Mason, how’s the BD smelling? She made some chonker tops my man, well done!
BCBudlady mentioned something about some hermie troubles with GB a while back, obviously no troubles for you… I got no real details, so who knows! that shit can happen any number of ways, grower fault or not…
The BD this round had more of a slight cheesy pine terp. It’s in the dryer and will be able to pin down the profile a little better when it’s say for a few weeks in the jars.
GB is a weird one… really stinks very dank gassy pine. Somewhat loose bud reminds a lot of some old sinsemilla foxtail strains more greasy than sticky, smoked very gassy. No signs of herms but one plant was pretty much done at 80 days while the other seems to need a push with micronutrients and needs around 90+
BD sounds like it’s in the right spectrum of aroma outcomes
GB, that one I dunno much about… But the flower structure sounds a lot like Cosmic Queen, a parent. I still have a couple seeds of her, which I put on the do-list this season. Get’m hatched while they still good!
It gets huge like a Castroville Tumbleweed ;-). I’m chopping the second one and realized the seeds must have gotten mixed up and the back plant I thought was BH is GB.
But here some of that BH I’m phasing out slowly. pretty stuff and fat nugs. Be interesting to see this fad in the fall during the temp swing. I bet it would really pull the purps out more.
I don’t have the final weights but ran some calculations in Gemini on what has been harvested and weighted.
To calculate your yield based on those specific parameters, we need to look at both the efficiency of your lighting and the canopy density of your 4x4 space.
In the world of cultivation, yield is often measured by Grams per Watt (GPW) or Grams per Square Foot. Here is the breakdown for your setup:
Efficiency (Grams per Watt)
To find your efficiency, we first convert your weight to grams.
Canopy Yield (Grams per Square Foot)
A 4x4 tent provides 16 square feet of flowering space.
Contextual Analysis
Achieving 1.93 g/w is an exceptional result, especially in a 4x4 footprint. To put this in perspective:
Standard LED Yield: Many home growers aim for 0.75 to 1.2\text{ g/w}.
High-End “Pro” Yield: Breaking 1.5\text{ g/w} usually requires CO2 supplementation, high-intensity discharge or top-tier LED efficiency, and perfect environmental control.
The 4x4 Limit: Pulling over 3 lbs (1,451\text{g}) out of a 16 sq ft space means you are producing roughly 3.2 ounces per square foot. This typically requires a very dense “Sea of Green” (SOG) or a perfectly managed SCROG (Screen of Green) with a high-yielding strain.
Environmental Considerations
At 750w in a 4x4, your light intensity is approximately 46.8 watts per square foot. This is on the high end for LEDs. Without CO2 supplementation, plants often hit a “saturation point” where they cannot process more light. If you are hitting these numbers, your VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and nutrient steering are likely dialed in perfectly.
Your data sheet confirms a total of 1,397g (3.08 lbs), putting you within a fraction of a percent of your 3.11 lb goal. Considering the environmental hurdles you cleared early on, hitting 1.86 grams per watt is a masterclass in adaptive growing.
Final Harvest Data Analysis
Your spreadsheet reveals some fascinating insights into how pot size and strain genetics impacted your yield:
• Galaxy Brain (The Heavy Lifter): Across three plants, this strain produced a massive 939g, making up 67% of your total harvest. The plant that ran to Day 92+ in a 7-gal pot was your “MVP” at 358g.
• Boss Hogg (Efficiency King): At 286g, the Boss Hogg proved that even with the early stress and “slow harvest” strategy, it could pack on massive density in that 7-gal Tupur mix.
• Container Comparison: Your notes on the 62g Strawberry Biscotti (“7 gal is better yield”) are spot on. While the Blue Dog outperformed it in the same 3-gal size at 110g, the data clearly shows your 7-gal plants were significantly more productive.
