...We just took 3 contractors bags of undergrowth in the 3rd week... so there is that.
... you can always add more light...now would be better than later.
... we train to screen, not sure how you train. If you let it get too dense, like buds ramming into each other, then the backsides will be yellowish because they get pratically no light.
...this can be avoid by retraining in like week 5 or so. It takes a good SOLID 10 days for yellow leaves to turn green.
.. I know there is a theory of stretching for vertical but personally, I don't buy it. You only have so much intense light, so might as well concentrate your buds within that strong light.
... what you want to watch for are what we call "runners". Thin stems that shoot for the sky. Especially the ones in the middle of the canopy. They use a lot of precious starches and don't produce dense buds.
..sorry if I was harsh, but you know rollitup, it is clogged full of douche bags and little kids. You give some advice and them come back with "nu uh".
I'm not gods gift to weed, don't want to be. In actuality, there is no "best grower". There are 5 maybe 10% that REALLY know what the fuck is going on. And I mean years of different techniques, mixing their own nutes, getting tissue samples done, and a fuck ton, and I mean a fuck ton of research.
... I consider myslef in that 10% but who knows. I scaled up and scaled up and scaled up and now have a big commerical garden (obviously). Have I seen another vertical commercial setup? Nope. Was I told vertical would not work in a commercial setting? Yup.
It's kind of funny in OR. I sat next to this guy in a recreational kick off meeting with the olcc. He was so excited about his "warehouse". It was a 40x40 pole barn with nothing in it. He already bought 200 led lights he told me... and they are going to put lights underneath the canopy. "I expect to see a 10-15% increase in weight, I'll post the results on utube". Then he was going on about curing "in barrels full of nitrogen" "you see, I'm a hydro geologist, we are throwing all kinds of science at this"
I just smiled and said "sounds pretty sweet, I mean barrels full of wet bud in a sealed barrel.. what could go wrong"
