1st) With a pre dry weight in mind is there a way to determine roughly what you will have for finished product?Finished/dry weight should be between 70-80% less

2nd) I was told to dry hang 2-3 weeks on clotheslines then cure in glass jars another 1_2 weeks, any additional advice here, certainly dont want to fuck up my stash now!Just initial dry in airy place and once mostly dry place in container to slow down the drying and allow cure. In most environments, this is 2 weeks total, longer is not bad. You are not going to Eff up your stash unless you set it on fire or let it mold

3) is it possible to get viable clones from fully mature females (specifically new growth) or can u only take clones prior to sexing? You can, little late now if you harvested.

4) by adding another light will i see a huge difference in yields, heat in area, and most importantly power usage? (currently using 400wt hps/mh set up with a flood lamp for added light spectrum and heat, room is 4x4 6ft tall and currently runs at a temp of 78F)You bet you will

5) finally with winter coming is there a night temp i should be staying above for my second attempt?Try to keep root temps above 50 degrees

thanks for the help and advice and happy growing!
