AWESOME

I have now given a sample pack to a rockwool sog table, and some dwc girls and it is really good stuff. worth the money to get a liter I think

3 weeks of 24hr light.. And they turned out fine.. Riiiiiiight.

Jack I believe most of what you say, but this is just pushin it..

P.s. what ever happened with your time lapse video?

Ha ha ha!!! I knew you couldn't stay away!!! I have better things to do then spend all my time worrying about all your doubts. Still waiting to see your huge Aptus grow. Just because a timer stayed on and my plants got fucking huge doesn't mean I would ever let it happen again. Now stop spending all your time worrying about what I do..

^I guess they were too far along to hermie. at a certain point it might not matter if the light is on at all because the plant just stops photosynthesis when it is tired. thta's my only guess. You got lucky though. Most of the time that would hermie up from what I know..............which could be totally wrong. lol

Ya I agree and freaked out when I figured it out it was at the end of week 5 I checked every plant and did not find any nanners except one tiny plant that was covered by a bunch of much bigger plants and it only had a couple. I would never do this again on this large of a scale but this will be our largest yield to date.Im sure it had something to do with the plants eating twice as much but who knows..JACK

Jack just want to say thank you for being the man you are, about two months ago I read the first forum of yours on the farm. Since then I've been reading anything I could find from your grows. I don't know how you do it brother running an operation the size you do, I believe would kill a normal man haha, but then to come on these forums and document them the way you do as well as answering almost everyone's questions sometimes for the hundredth time just shows how selfless you are bro. Anyway for what it's worth after reading all the more recent forums of when you moved into beds a couple times each and couple trips to the local hydro store I've put together a miniature "jack coco op", 12 1000s, 6 4x8s with the smart pot liners all the way down to the pepco octa bubblers and lets not forget the aptus. Needless to say I'm excited to get it going. Anyway man I just want to say thanks again for doing what you do and how you do it and knowing that in between the many trolls, there are a few of us out here that have really learned a lot and benefited greatly from the info you share with all of us. Wishing you and yours nothing but the best. Sensi.

Ditto regarding the above post. I have been lurking in this thread for some time now, and am really appreciating the detail you have been giving the readers. About to flower out some of Moonshine's strains, and they are going in beds, and I asked my local Hydrowhores to order me up some Aptus.

thanks again, straight killing it.

^off topic, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this stuff about the og trend. the people buying all the "new OG's" every week are the same idiots that buy every fucking apple product as soon as it comes out. I'm am gonna start referring to this bull shit as "the apple douche og kush trend"

Not that I dont like apple. the product is good. they just seem a little redundant with some of their products. not much difference between the generations, which is where the comparison to the OG trend comes in. OG's are good stuff, but mostly the same. over hyped.

I commend you for your big ass grow(s). But in reality, is 1.08 gpw really worth such a high cost nutrient? I don't personally see the value in the nutrient you're using. So many people out there avg much more GPW using far less expensive nutrient packages. I could be totally wrong, but I think this nutrient package is much like some other not to be named companies that overcharge and hype a good product, but one that isn't really any better than many of the others out there.

I know this will come off as an insult, but it isn't intended as such. So please take it in the proper context. Your grows are good grows, in the zone of what we all use as the measure of success in many terms (1gpw), but it is not so tremendous. It is big as hell though!

:laughing:

Says the broken record with 0 completed grows on IC.....How many times have you averaged more than a GPW? Your concern has been addressed SOOO many times on this thread..

Its like a bunch of go kart racers telling someone who races F1 that his equipment is TOO much $$$$. You dont need "that" to win races I see plenty of people winning races without "that"


How many times in this thread has someone said almost exactly what you said? Its not worth it to spend that much money....LOL
Im sure the extra couple k spent on aptus just ruined his return....


Even gpw can be vague, If your gettin 1gpw on an 8 week strain its alot different than 1gpw with a 12week strain. If your flowering for an extra month and getting the same amount as someone who flowers a month less, is your grow just as good because you both got 1gpw?

I see plenty of people gettin 1gpw small scale, I dont see many people getting 1gpw with more than 10k.


So please bite your tongue and let the man share knowledge with those whom are interested.

Thanks Bro..:tiphat:
BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND.







can you crack that white fire #48 for me i gotta see the sticky in the middle
:woohoo:No Problem I will take a shot of her inside..Shits Fire..
Ha. The 'genie' trips on his ego.. What a surprise.
Did I miss the Pic of your huge grow AGAIN.:moon:

Yes ty very much Jack! You have helped a lot of people by showing off this grow and the aptus. I would have never known about it otherwise. My plants are loving it!
Nice!!
Good work jack, thanks for the tips on r.a's.
Bet that #43 knocks ur dick in the dirt bro :)
she's pure Fire its the original Fire mom on steroids.

good to see you still rockin that whitefire looks bomb...was just down in your area didnt know what clubs to hit for the best herbs....locals were all smoking chemmy machine trimmed OG kush renamed BS like "kenobi OG" and shit....
Thats a huge problem so many growers so many watered down mashed up genetics so many renamed strains. Its going to come down to the guys that are the top 10% the ones that have the strains no one else has and every strain has to be super fire..Ive been working hard the last 5 years to do just that..

^off topic, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this stuff about the og trend. the people buying all the "new OG's" every week are the same idiots that buy every fucking apple product as soon as it comes out.

Its a good topic and in todays market OG is what every one wants.Im sure the trend will change but not any time soon. I had a bunch of OG'S grown from different growers tested most tested low 20's and a bunch of White Hybrids tester much higher but the market still wants OG. The White tested 27% Its killer smoke lacks flavor but the MOST still prefer OG. We get a strain called Kings Bread its some of the best smoke out there would love to have a cut that shit is fucking Fire..
Damn that sucks about the timer. Your in those rooms so much you'd think you woulda caught sonehhing like that sooner. Crazy those things didn't herm. I've left my overhead room light on for a couple days on 2 diff occasions a few weeks in and the ogs def weren't feeling it...
Ya it was a fluke the room is ran from 8am to 8pm and the last 3 weeks I was busy getting a bunch of other rooms going shit happens but im glad it turned out for the best. And I agree most OG are super finicky they dont like alot of nutes and do better with the lights higher.
Congrats on the #43. I hope it all works out, Jack.

:laughing:
Ya Buddy!!!

Quick question, other than the addition of sea green has there been any other changes to your nute regimen? Are you still using caps bennies and loving them? I'm buying my pump right now and am wondering if your still rocking the grundfos 3/4 hp, I'm thinking about the same pump just a little bigger the 1 hp model do you think that would be big enough to water 6 beds at once if I remember right you were doing 5 at a time. Thanks man.

a gram per watt is pretty damn good. that's 35 ounces off one light. that's more than two pounds from one light. people that are telling you they are getting more are probably partially dried nugs, and are too stupid to know they are cheating, and their customers are too stupid to realize they are buying water at nug prices. in fact most growers only get 1 to 2 pounds per 1000 watts. anything over 2 is considered really good.
