Be Honest! Who's getting 3lb/1k???

Is it just me...or does MH in flower seem to lengthen the flower cycle?

I switched to a MH last run for the last 2 weeks and for some reason it seemed to revert them back into growing and actually seem to stop flowering... they shot out new shoots and all....

I have yet to actually use a MH throughout...especially with some of the strains I'm running now, i need the induced stretching of the HPS.

IJA...

2 1/2 is the best I've ever done, here is the plant.

I went maybe 8 1/2 to 9 weeks flower time.

I have a table going that I think is gonna be my best to date. Not 3lbs. for a 1k but really good. Prolly gonna end up near the 1gpw mark. I have two 1k's above a 4x8 table. It's split into two groups so each half of the table has it's own light. The one side is about 2 1/2 weeks from being done and I already have 12"-16" rock hard nugs. I'm pretty good at judging my harvests just by looking at them, and it looks like almost 2 lbs. when it's done. I'm super excited. My best before was 33 oz.'s from 2/3 of the table

Every post I`ve made here in this thread has been true and factual regardless of the bullshit contradictions about increased plant numbers dictating yield , or increased veg times to produce the same results with big plants for the same 3 lbs per light......

My clone factory growbro`s in SoCal pull 4 lbs per light with 256-3" rockwool cubes in 4 x 4 flood tables under 1 K`s EVERY RUN and pull said 4 lb tables every week perpetually cuz they can , and have been doing so since the mid 90`s when Cali went legal....but....

It ain`t rocket science to pull 1/4 oz budsicles monocropped with dialed environment and adequate watts per sq ft , and that`s why they stay at the private med sites to keep from dealin with trolls......but....

If yas want factual info "here" about increased veg times and a perpetual setup that produces 3 lb plants under each 1 KW light , go check out Don Juan Matus`s thread right here in hydro section "Rockwool trees".......OR as stated earlier Gettogro`s big ass plants even though the gpw`s aren`t there , he`s still pumpin out 3+ lb plants......

I constantly grow tired of negativity and folks with blinders on that naysay and claim there`s "NO fucking way" to do more than Joe blow regular stoner dewd does , just cuz most folks NEVER hit 1 gpw no matter how much time or lack of time it takes to do so regardless of setup or if monocropped for max results after dialed......anyways.....

Oh ye of little faith.......and if anything less than whatever pleases yas and pays the bills feel fortunate.......but.....Talkin shit just cuz you`ve never done it or know anyone else that has is at best infantile and ignorant.......

Sky`s the limit with vertical bare bulbs hangin AND horizontal mega SOG setups with increased plant numbers......bet on it.......

Got folks elsewhere at private places that do it EVERY run , not occasionally or on a fluke......and how ?.....Runs under their belt and learning how to.......

All about dialage and monocropping......period........

Peace....DHF.....:ying:.....

Kinda what I alluded to many times. But damn that's getting up there for numbers. Feds have a hard on for high plant counts, so...

I think 3 is possible w low numbers as long you got the right strain (of course dialed). My best yielding strain right now will give at least 2.5 as system sits today. But I only grow 1 of 6 of that one. Sadly the dankest and most desirable is at 1.5 per 1k. Sucky but that's how it goes...

Excellent point about Fed intervention with crazy ass plant numbers per setup Bro , and although my boys have been licensed to provide mega cuts to the bigger dispensaries up and down the left coast since the mid 90`s.....

Their perpetual 10 KW production facilities are NOT onsite where they root cuts , cuz they`re definitely not within their plant limits with 10 tables pullin 4 lbs a week every week to the tune of well over 200 lbs per yr , but they`ve been rollin almost 20 yrs without a hitch , so.....now.......

I gotta step up and say again for the record that the most well thought out and dialed perpetual setup for big plants and low plant numbers that I`ve EVER seen was when I was bored and read Don Juan Matus`s thread a while back.......that said.....

1 plant per 1KW averaging 3 lbs per light EVERY light , and even though he`s only allowed X amount of plants in flower , he`s got best I remember 1/2 the flower rooms finishing every month to the tune of once all ducks are in a row and all the perpetual plant and moving and up-potting shit`s over with , right at the same numbers my mad scientist clone factory growbro`s are pullin on a yearly basis.......so....

I`m pretty sure couple hundred elbows per yr pays the bills and keeps the ball rollin whether yas roll perpetually with MEGA rooted cuts , or longer veg times set up once all the overlap falls into place for the same numbers......

Just takes a lil longer to set big plants up with the 3 month intervals to start pullin the same numbers as the faster finishing mega cut SOG tables , but......

Pretty much equal once all is said , done , and dialed....regardless....Many ways to skin a mule......

Peace.....DHF.....:ying:......

I did hydro for years and years. Went to soil then I started re-using it. Then I said in hydro whats the difference the root space some people do large/oversized pots I decided to use tables. Took plywood put 2/4's around it lined it with a couple of shower curtons and filled it with soil I had laying around.

So I took 3 gallon plastic pots cut the bottoms out then I place them in uncut pots and I fill them with soil from the previous round and veg them. Once they are big enough I take the outter bucket off and sit it on my flower bed. They root right in and go crazy.

When a round is done I cut out the plants and I take out the buckets and add lime, biotone starter plus, and Bonticare Pure Bloom and turn it old roots and all. Sit in the next round And bam they are off.
All in the same day.

Hydro growth without all the work. I dnt PH or TDS ever. There is a bit more to it but u get the just. Its just not the amount of light.

However I do know aero does serious. Kakalak from cylax brothers does some serious yeilds.
He says he gets 6 to 12 lbs from 3k strain dependent. But the weight per work for me is a trade off.

Hope this helps

Hi TP! Yeah I can get from 12 to 16 pounds off of 3K in aero. I had one cola come out dry at 94 grams. Good Vibes!

How much did that particular run finish at with 64 plants under 3KW Kak.....Are those plants in the pics grown with timed aero spray feeds ?.....

Is it possible to grow 64-4 oz plants side by side in a 5 x 10 area for a consistent return of 16 lbs with the proper dialed single cola strain/hybrid ?.......Hell.....64-3 oz plants for 12 lbs/4 per light would be awesome.....

I say why the fuck not ?....Sky`s the limit with dialed environment , proper watts per sq ft , and above all the right strain/hybrid for the job.....but.....

As a rule , more yield comes from lesser quality strains/hybrids , and that`s why yield takes a back seat to my thoughts on production from my retired efforts of increased plant numbers to increase yields with quality dialed proven producers....and....

Saw Krusty grow top colas bigger than 3 liter coke bottles and the laterals were almost as big with WELL over 3 lb plants , so IME...anything`s possible....and yeah Kak....

Folks will mostly call bullshit like your friendly lil troll visit above , so try and overlook it so the thread can flow instead of clog up with drama...I for one would like ta know what kinda seedstock will produce 4'-4 oz donkey dick single cola Pre-98 Bubba Kush-like quality so my old ass can treat my insomnia and arthritis...anyways.....

Onward and upward....I wanna see somebody pull 10 lbs per light......Now get ta work guys.....LOL....

Peace....DHF.....:ying:.....

I thought the licensing thing was more recent? Grow licensing has been around for almost 2 decades now? Ive been wondering how people have huge warehouses without getting the federal heat on their tails...

I like the idea of staying small to avoid undue attention but even with my space Im starting to see the economics of having a large enough space for perpetual mass production. Dispensaries seem to be looking for someone that can provide large quantity monthly or more often even, not a large quantity ever 3 months. but to do that you need a fairly decent sized space it seems.
