I’m showing you a project I had several months ago… 7 regular seeds - of which 4 were females and three males… I was lucky with this grow but due to electricity issues I had to discard the entire cultivation. I’m leaving you some images, this was in a 40/*40/*1.20 tent

Hi, welcome to the network. I understand that for any grower, having to stop and start all over again is always heartbreaking. But as you say, you have to know what to expect from a drop in yield. When you talk about an electrical problem, was your cycle interrupted by a power outage?

Hey friend, thanks for understanding… it wasn’t easy to discard everything… knowing that one of them was showing resin production at 2 weeks of flowering and its leaves were very dark, it promised a lot… but what happened was that there were several light spikes where the LED UFO (old technology) suffered damage from the power dips exactly during those weeks of flowering… light cycle interrupted for more than 3 to 4 hours… and literally, one of the two LED lights I had in the setup started failing and flickering. I couldn’t continue with the grow; I had to stop because if I continued with only one LED, they would start asking for more food, and a single LED UFO yields a maximum of 80w, maybe 50w, and with 4 specimens in there (with two LEDs it was super good) but with one, it’s impossible… now I’m with the remaining one, with the same problem, but now they are in veg. Maybe they’ll withstand the ‘party days at the club’ a little, hahaha, until I buy a Bestva 150w. Let’s hope I can get it and not stress them out too much, even though I already notice a small change in the growth speed…
I’ll have to be patient and have faith that they will manage to overcome this light stress (I’ll leave some photos of the ones I have now… Fancy Gummy on the right and Purple Frost, my own genetics, on the left… and the 3rd one is the Gorilla, it’s gaining ground but also seems to be affected by the light stress (the Purple one had a small accident and I had to perform an apical prune on one of the lateral branches
