You have my attention. Hydro? Soilless? Please describe what your doing....?? :)

Nutrifield Coco/perlite4 . 6-8 per light crammed . Lollipop like a beast. Defoliate end of week 2. I am feeding Every day .. 2 gallons a day. It is a mess I wish I didn't sign up for. But because they were so over vegged and beast . The numbers are going to be insane. Sealed environment , no fresh air. 79degrees, 50% humidity. 1500 ppm co2. 5x5.5 spread . Double ended will help. ( I only have a couple I haven't switched whole room to de) .

Run DE at 1150W for absolute best umol/W and spectrum, this from the Gavita mfr rep. It's quite a bit more efficient than single ended.

I appreciate it. I do ask that you take everything on the thread with a grain of salt. As these grows were a couple years ago..Always in the 2 range but when I first started growing. I believe one of them was 11.5 off 4k watts that I posted.. Quality is up ALOT from then and yields are more consistent . But the numbers are around the same.. I am using coco now, before I was using peat. I am growing at least half my rooms with ogs.. Before it was mostly heavy yielding sativas. I have only gotten UNDER 2 pounds per light.. 3 times.. And these were 3 very heavy learning curves. I believe if you run a 5x5 spread and pack your plants .. It is not very difficult to get in the 2pound area.. A lot of growers are getting 3-4+ per light.

I am computer retarded . If I could find a way to upload shit and delete the exif I would gladly share any pictures you guys want. This run I have going now will be the closest I've ever got to 3+ per light .. I will be very surprised if I don't get the 3 number.. So I know you guys want to see pics since most of you think I'm full of shit

I'm still learning how to navigate this site also-----here's how I looked up all of your threads.
1) click on your handle----up comes your profile page----then click on your handle again-----click on "postings"-----scroll down to the bottom of that page----in small letters you'll see "threads by handle name"---by clicking on that, up comes your thread list-----you can select the thread you want to reference, go up to the menu bar and copy that url------paste it in another thread.

I assume many others here share in my frustration.

It seems that every time someone makes a claim like that, we get "I don't take pictures" or "lost them".

I very familiar with what a 2/1k looks like and the only way I would ever believe 4/1k is if I manicured, dryed, and weighted. I 've never pulled 3/1k----would love to see it----but still haven't.

A~~~

I am overly confident that if I don't fuck anything up this batch I will be well into the 3s. I didnt leave anything out. I did everything to the best of my ability and can say this is the first run in a long time that I am PROUD of. I gave every bit of effort possible and there are no loose ends so far. If the ethos collective can pull 4-5 per lamp.. I know that I can smash 3. Not to mention... I damn near did it with the 4 lighter when I had no fucking clue what I was doing. Before I was growing in sunshine following an advanced nutes feeding chart never checking my runoff lol.. So I was smashing 2.5 per lamp, blind for the most part. Now I'm watching my runoff like a hawk , there no yellow leaves , no burn, no retard plants. it is a perfect batch

I have pictures . tell me how to delete the exif and safely post them and I will do so. I want everyone to know that the numbers are doable so they can think outside the box on how to step up there game! 4x4 trays are a thing of the past!
 
Sorry, I'm no computer wizard-----what is exif? What has changed about "safety" since all those other pics were posted.

Perhaps some one else understands the exif concern?

I can't run 1150 because I am 30
Inches off the canopy this run. The gavita and the nanolux de are in 1000 watt mode

I hear ya. I guess the DE doesn't get more umol/W @1150W, but I do clearly remember him saying the spectrum shift was beneficial and there was no sacrifice in lifetime performance. Here's the chart;

Please don't be a douche. I am taking pics off of my phone. If you put them from a phone to a computer there is bullshit that shows the number and who took the photo and when . And even the location I think if your location services are on. I am a farmer too not a computer genius . My laptop barely works and is from like 2004. I used to have a thing on there that would delete all the "exif files" is what the program calls it . I tried to upload a few pics from the last run the last time some douche called me a liar and it said "cannot delete exif" . If you right click the photo and go to properties it will show all the info I do not want to disclose .i do not believe it would be wise to post such photos and give the five oh directions to my location . Because we all know they watch this shit. With that being said. I probably am full of shit and probably grow with a 13w cfl in a closet

This website strips 'metadata tags' from photos uploaded here. Turn off the location setting on your phone when taking pics so it can't upload 'geotag' info to your pics.

A lot of people think that warmer is better. But I start to see an upward leaf curl and some heat stress at anything higher than 80 degrees. I have grown in the 80s before when I didn't have another option and I felt like my bag appeal wasn't as nice . I could be wrong though. But I don't believe you suffer yield at 78-79

I am using the nanolux de with the Phillips bulb. Is that chart saying that's a better reading than the gavita with the gavita bulb? my gavita looks brighter to the eye by far , it's strange .

You say you keep your lights pretty close to the canopy. If so, your leaf surface temperatures are likely to put you in the ideal range for good CO² takeup. It's the leaf surface temperature that's the important measure, not air temperature. If an air temp in the high seventies is what works, I'd say don't fix it.
