yeah so true lol .. just looking at you signiture the smellioit made me laugh what a name , whats it all about , who made it?
Kenny Lingus said::jawdrop: Is there perhaps any secrets you could share to let us know how you grow those mega-colas?-And preferably without needing to kill us afterwards
the only easy and quick advise would be , lots and lots of fresh air , loads of light ,i prefer fresh air to co2 any day , and make sure every thing is the same i.e. , all the shades and the bulbs are the same size , make , ect . all ways try to mimic what you are all ready doing well , and upscale till you are at a comfortable level , dont try to much to quick but all ways try new things till you find the best way for you ,
I have all ways been a scientist , I like to do real comparison tests , I would run 3 identical systems but with different nutes , I would keep the best nutes for the next run and ditch the others and so on till I was happy the nutes could not make my buds better , then moved on to the lighting with the same philosophy .
The shape of pots makes a different in yield , round ones yield less for me than square with the same amount of soil in them , pots with holes in the bottom ,but none on the sides yield less …
I have ran most if not all grown systems , nft , coco ,ebflow, so on .
I will stick with compost now , I like how they grow , not forced , more flower to leaf ratio .I can put more in a get far better yields in quicker time .
the system these were grown in is 8-ft x 8-ft grow stage
It has nine 600-wt lights over them .
The average yield outta this set up is 5 to 8 kellos in 8 -10 weeks flower 2 weeks veg …
i use Philips bulbs .and i net my plants , cause im in soil with high pressure drippers , i only water once every other day , takes allot of work load out compared to hydro ...
this is just what works good for me ...
another thing i have noticed now days compared to years ago is , there are allot of people growing cause they can , there friends does and set um up , they havnt had to learn any thing and it can get a bit complacent ,, people just dont put the effort in any more imho , what seems like easy work to us old boys is just a hassle for some ... just talking about general things like getting nutes from the shop on time , raising lights on time , checking for bugs and doing some thing about it , all im saying is if you dont put the effort in you get no rewards …
and the best grower in the world cant make a bad strain grow well , if the genetics are no good the crop will be no good ... some strains are very good but dont suit some . there are a lot of other things to take into account with
what i have said , so please no one bite my head of lol ...
Thanks for the kinds words guys, I appreciate it ....
Those pic are just absurd. Holy shit Batman

Thanks a lot GB!
It amazes me the light array!
I did grow with the same intensity before and had bigger, buds. I only use about 35w per sqft now and have a decent gpw of my 600. Although I'd love to use my area better and up the light to 1000-1200, maybe air-cooled then.

Love the Big Girls !! (so round & squeezeable ;o)
Love the Big Girls !! (so round & squeezeable ;o)
And Big girls dont cry too.... (but do like the young girls too, cause their stories are shorter ! , hehe)
Saw you did this great show under an array of evenly spaced 600's giving plenty of dispersed wattage/light , & phillips ? Have been using the GE lucalux 600's on digi ballasts with GE Lucalux bulbs
(the GE's really put out alot more lumens than the Eye's which fatigue-out quickly on digi ballasts...a frequency issue)
Hard to tell wether those were blue 2 1/2 gal pots or larger in the 1rst page photo on the table ? This canna terra pro soil and nutes & watering ever other day appeals to me too & letting the medium go thru a wet dry/moist cycle...and i tend to overwater so try to compensate by adding more perlite usually . So what size containers were they again ? And is there any feeding schedule & measureable EC (or ppm) you are running ?
Oh , i see there are square pots ...size ?
Just stellar looking results & strains you have going there and nice to see a great strain called "Stella Blue" ! Like the idea of a more relaxed grow too with less watering & a milder intensity of envirionmental factors allowing for a more steady paced BIG results .
kudos , love that wicked looking haze & trichomed~out Blue ....and all that solid looking nuggage penetrating down below too!
Great show mon ...

the blue pots were from a deep water culture set up we changed to soil ....
we dont have the blue round ones any more ... the pots we use are 12 lt but we fill them to 10 or 11 depending on what strain is used ...
i have never really like GE bulbs i have always had stretchy growth from them , but that was years ago , some bulbs are brighter on the first run , but seem to fade on the second , i run mine for 3 runs max ... unless i grow freeze land then i use old bulbs as she hates to much light ... i use the philips son t plus .
as far as ec goes , i start at 1.4 , then 1.6 ,and 1.8 to 2.0 for peek flower .
if growing in pots , one of the main things i have found that ups peoples yield pretty much strait away , is making sure they have 20% at least water run of when we feed our plants , some people water them just to keep um wet , they need to get a good gush then dry out
seems to be a thing people dont realise they are doing ....
thanks terran .

Sir Smelliot is one not familiar with but usually find if u got the dank
u also got the stank too ! ;o)
yah haven't totally fell in love with the GE bulbs seems far too much red/yellow in the spectrum , but they are built to last (infrastructure welds)...but will pick up some phillips to compare . Think we can hopefully expect a new revolution in bulb design in coming months to match better the frequency & spec/tech with digi apps in mind ...the sylvania 750s have the lock on that wattage for now .
