Dude, that is sooooo last year. You should see what we're up to now!

For veg, I recommend a blend of HPS and quality MH, like Horti Super Blue. Another excellent alternative for small spaces is T5, again using mixed spectrum.
Turns out this is basically what they prefer in bloom, too.

Just had a nice long and involved conversation/consultation with my friend, @homebrew420 . He's been the head breeder at fourteeners for years and it's all he does. There's an entirely separate crew that runs the grow houses... using his strains and crosses, of course. That alone gives him serious status- but the work he's done is quite simply world class. Just for starters, the Hillbilly Hobby in the pic above is his strain... and the list is endless.
Impressions from today's meeting:
1. The Super Silo system kicks serious ass- he's impressed with how we're doing things here. That kind of validation is worth its weight in dank buds. Yield per watt is on par with the best of the best.. and yield per ft² of floorspace is waaaay beyond what commercial warehouse operations are pulling. Our unit labor costs are a fraction of theirs.
2. He's planning to breed autoflowers soon- he thinks that modern autos finally now have potential when crossed with today's popular strains like Chem Sour Diesel, Strawberry Cough, etc. I can't wait to see what comes from this project. Other projects include growing red buds- I mean bloody red, and crossing to get color and potency into new varieties.
3. Buying brand name water bottle nutrients is no better than commercially available dry nutrient salts, you're just spending more cash for the same chems. For the money, you get a tested nutrient schedule and buffers to stabilize pH. Truly, it's not hard to add pH down when the girls want it...
4. He was very happy indeed to get a baby Hillbilly Hobby back- and will be sending us more clones to run soon! This is how our symbiotic relationship works; we get genetics that simply aren't available anywhere else at any price, CUSTOMIZED FOR THIS VERTICAL SILO APPROACH. He gets growth and potency validation and actual real world test results on his strains, without having to pay the overhead for the extra space- or labor. Simply amazing.
Straight up, I don't know of any other bootstrap/self funded research project that's doing anything like what we do.
The future is being built right here, kids- stay tuned!

the "cop" knock send shivers and goosebumps (it's a PTSD thing for me)
i had the "semi"-cop knock the other day and sat in my living room paralyzed for 30 minutes before i could move..wasn't expecting anything.

Everyone should have friends and family like this;
Having discussed the situation in detail, my family and I have found money to go looking for a suitable place outside of town where my legal plant count isn't arbitrarily limited by a city ordinance.
This is a huge opportunity to start fresh, design the system from a clean sheet and build the kind of facility I can use to showcase the technology to prospective dispensary/warehouse clients.
I'm looking for a property with some elbow room, a nice shop or garage with at least a thousand ft², preferably closer to double that. I already have all the necessary skills in trades among my friends, they've indicated their eagerness to help as soon as a place is picked out.
This new facility will house the veg and multiple bloom zones and will continue to incubate the kind of technological improvements I've already outlined.
The house in town will be brought into full compliance, with two rooms housing no more than six plants each. They'll be supplied with plants from the out of town site... and thus will only need two adults in residence, NO cards required.
Because I'll have ample space, power and equipment to tinker with, the in town site will become the experimental facility, while the out of town site will be the beneficiary of lessons learned.
I can't believe my luck...
Somebody pinch me.

Hey tysikk how did you go with your duel spectrum bulb? I bought one . It was a 600w .with 400whps and 250w mh insude one tube . I got 19 oz of it but I cant compare as my setup always varies and so do strains . Those two plants were a 12 oz world of seeds amnesia and 7 oz sensi pure power plant . Id use the bulb again for sure!
