The numbers for the grow to show that these plants were in 40% of the tent and used 40% of the light. Actual yields below.

This grow is finally over, and everything is curing in their grove bags. Thank you to all that have left encouragement…made me want to do well. The results have been better than I could have imagined…my best grow ever. These Gold Leafs were beasts and I yielded just under 20 ounces from the 2 plants and over 2 ½ pounds for the 4x4 tent.

They veg’d for 32 days. I harvested the Main buds from one of the two plants on day 90 after the 12/12 flip and the other on day 92. I let the lower popcorn buds continue to grow and ripen in the tent and harvested them on Flower Day 101. They will get an 8-week cure.

Lessons learned on this grow
• When using a 5-gallon smart bag, I can skip the 3-gallon pot and go right from the 1-gallon pot to the 5-gallon smart bag. Only need the 3-gallon pots if ultimate container will be a 7-gallon smart bag
• 5 plants really is too much for a 4x4…especially with Sativas
• The AC / Dehumidifier really helped regulate the environment
• If you end up with canopies that are too thick…harvesting in two steps will save those lower buds
• Sativas get tall…got to aggressively tame them in a tent – flip them earlier than you would an Indica
• Sativas take a looong time to finish
• ProMix requires more pearlite that Sunshine Mix #4 – the one plant I used ProMix on stayed too wet and it stunted its growth – plant only 27” high and only 5.25-ounce yield
• Using a bowl trimmer for the side buds makes harvesting a much more enjoyable experience…saved many hours
