This horse is beaten to death. Regardless of whether you choose to believe his final yields, its still a great and highly informative thread, and the dude is clearly a great grower. He's the one freely sharing information so I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck what any of the naysayers think. I'm not the one with a massive pile of fat dank nugs, he is. And I found this thread to be an awesome read, and his others are great too.
He only ended up yielding a little over three pounds. It was the "quest" To hit 80 oz.
Why would this dude lie?
If I can yield 2 per light in soil, then 3 per light with a light mover and aero is baby shit. We're is DHF when ya need him........

Thank you for the documentation to your grow. That was some good reading once I sifted through the negative nancys that are upset because all this time they thought they were master cultivators when in reality they are novices at best. Been in there shoes thought I was the bees knees until I REALLY learned how to grow on a professional level. FYI PEOPLE IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST GROWING TIME AFTER TIME TO BE GREAT. YOU NEED TO EXPERIMENT. SOMETIMES DRASTICALLY! I've been growing for more years than I care to remember and have seen a lot of different results with a lot of different techniques but rarely have I seen such a small footprint with those yields. You get an A+ in my book buddy.
As for those of you who call bullshit and him a liar but in the same breath say you mean no disrespect are quite ignorant of the fact that calling someone a liar is about as disrespectful as one can get. The man shares his knowledge and experiences with you yet you don't even say thank you. You just try and tear him down. So much for the stereotypical peace and love pot heads. Guess that's what you get when you share the wealth with the unappreciative. Just my .2. god bless

here go do some reading

oh and have a very nice day night
i pull pound and half of finely trimmed dense nug every run from 9 plants in 2 gal bags of soil under 1k hps
Sorry to burst the haters bubble, but i've have friends that hit 3+ per light horizontal consistantly in multiple hundred light warehouses. I've worked/harvested with them so this isn't some bullshit I saw pictures of. Oh and tom hill has a thread around somewhere that shows him yielding right around 5lbs from a single 1000w light. Anyone that knows tom, knows that's no bullshit. Now as I said earlier, the important part of this thread was never the final yield. If some of you would take all that time you spend doubting the OP and read you might learn some very valuable advice. Aerokrafter you the man in my book. Takes alot of time and effort to grow the way you do, and even more to share it in such detail. Let the haters hate if they're gonna...
Well said, Mister. Aerokrafter has finally persuaded me to switch one of my flower rooms to hydro. i might not be able to start at the same time as the grow along, but I'll be close behind. might have to wait till some Lemon Haze finishes in the horizontal 7' x 5' room.
I love the fact that all the veg occurs in the cloner.
great read, all 27 pages of it(20 posts per page) that dude didnt even have real good canopy management(scrog, tomato cages, anything at all) and didn't lolypop at all, and he still got 3 lb+ from 5' x 5' with a 1000w and a light mover.
RESPECT to all you 1+ gpwatters.

Know people locally getting 4/light on tables. There goes that theory. Peace GS
Didn't you hear what he said "No matter what anyone says" so you're just wasting your breath, he's got it all figured out.
I love the broad, all encompassing statement, like 1-2.2 pounds, depending on skill. lol.
So the yield of said Strain, Pheno, Cut, whatever is of no consequence? again, LOL.
I've seen a dude get 2.5+ with a well known, high yielding strain. but then, with a lower yielding strain, only hits about 1.5 per light. was he skilled on one grow but not on the other? or are there varying circumstances that cause a grow to come together(or not) and skill is only one of those. others are things like quality of equipment, type of light, light mover/hydro(or not), the list could go on forever. what it looks like in a picture does not come up on that list.
I have two rooms, and one is 5 X 5, the other is 7 x 5, but for some reason the one that is larger and has better yielding strains always seems to out-yield the smaller room. I don't know why......... must be because i'm unskilled in the smaller room.
Sorry guys, I know I'm not following the taeaching of Nas and Lao Tzu.(see below Sig) I just hate it when people TALK SHIT at people who are only here to help the community grow better herb. I'll try to chill.

Yea no shit 3+ is easy achieveable with anything big bud crosse, i hit 2.9 with Critical Plus,
not saying its impossible,
but im talking about the new people that see this shit, get real expect 1.5-2 per and be happy with it (good strain)
yea go grow some mid grade Crap like critical + and enjoy your 3+

You sound more and more like a novice every time you speak. Did you even read this thread? The people that see this "shit" will hopefully leave with some knowledge and perhaps a new perspective on what is possible. I can imagine that when they read your posts they don't think twice. I know for a fact you will never come close to what was done in this thread because you don't have a cultivators mind or soul. If you did you would congratulate the man and encourage he and others to do the same. You talk of strains as being an end all on determining final weight. What a ridiculous notion. Just my .2.
Again to aero, good job. If I ever decide to go big again Ill have a nice reference on what is possible.
Gbis59ll - My bro's doing 3+ are doing it with cali elites. Og's, kush's etc. Not some big bud or other high yielding strains. So I will again refer to my last post. "If some of you would take all that time you spend doubting the OP and READ you might learn some very valuable advice." I hit 2-2.5lbs per 600 with 5 plants per light, and have been doing it for years with mid-low yielding strains. I'm now in the process of dialing vert racks that will take me to 3lbs per 600 and possibly more if I grew big bud or whatever. You're right there are alot of newbies here that make the mistake of seeing a great grow and thinking it's baby shit to do. Then there's people like you that have grown long enough to know it's not baby shit, but never put in the time to understand "the rules" that make a room produce. So you just think everyone claiming high yields is full of shit. Then you have people like aerokrafter, DHF, Jackmayoffer, vagpuncher, tom hill etc, etc, that put in the time to understand the rules and yield accordingly as a result. It's not easy, but the information and people that can get you there are all right here at this site. If you have the motivation, there's a great community of people that just want to help everyone take it to the next level. They're giving the knowledge away for free after all, why not take advantage?

hey dude, great thread..
a popular saying is "good intentions are rarely seen".
imvho, to get 5 elbows you need to seal the room, buy a co2 moniter and get a light track to double your space.
having co2 with no moniter and an exhuast is just a waste for you, your pocket and your plants, good luck next go.
ps, if i was you i would use the med-man method. start with 4x as many clones as you need, preveg the 1st 50% that root, then keep the best 50% of those. plus my plant massages do wonders for thickness and size in plants and buds, peace, mm

Can you explain how your plant massages do wonders for thickness and size in plants and buds?
I get the impression that the only thing that needs a daily massage is your ego.
I could be wrong.

well could be 3.2 bow ifn he trimmed and let out the door like in his 1st pg pics
https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=35419&pictureid=842567
but trimmed like i trim which is for no real stem just dense buds i would say 1.5 - 1.75
i would like to add theres mucho good info for any1 wishing to try this method.
i do trim my buds as if they where going for hightimes mag photo shoots i look at the bud an say would i really buy that befor im done trimming lol but thats me
i like u my friend.. trim every bud like its going into high times..
its funny i ran out of bud a while back and bought some from a friend.. that grows.... and wow just because leaves are crystally .. dont leave them on there.. the weight not worth it.. and the harsher buds.. not worth it either!!!

check out my blog if you want, www.growyourownmedicine.blogspot.com
i grow short plants that have side branches as thich or thicker then the average thumb. check my vids too for a more in depth tutorial.
the bigger the branch, the more sugars can flow, the more wieght they can carry, and the size of the buds is relative to the stalk holding them(subject to strain and technique of course), mm

lol at gbis59ll trying to call out aerokrafter and tell everybody what yields are possible, saying 3+ pounds per light are EASILY achievable with big bud crosses after saying 1-2.2 is all you can get (no matter what anyone says), etc
One only has to look at past posting history...
gbis59ll quote from last month:
"is it possible to get 1.5 off a 1000
with a sealed room (mini split)
but the thing is i dont want to run c02 the first run,"
Dude's asking people if it's possible to hit 1.5 off a light. And also, he's gonna run a sealed room with no co2... lmfao gotta love the internet
Post up pics of your 2.9+ critical mass light gbis59ll and i'll delete my account. Show us how its easily done with those big bud strains...
