@Merlin34 beautiful grow man, all that walking is sure to keep you in shape.
Question, since you have the experience.
I am trying to grow my plants wide rather than tall.
The mothers of these are enormous trees part of a large grow site best estimation of about 13-15 feet tall.
Is it more beneficial to grow them wide like I am for an even coverage of lights or tall how you are?
Vegging under 8 tube fluorescent 240watt
And putting them outside sometime in May. (I'm in Oregon) These were started February 25th
Very envious! Hope you get your 2+ average!

I've only grown 2 outdoor plants in my entire life, so I don't know if I'm giving good advice. But, I'd think even outdoors wider would be better rather than tall. I like mine as wide as they can be, but they have to fit in the designated floor space. If they're not wide enough I'm lighting the concrete floor and not plants.

Hey Merlin how's thing's....I've read your full thread and like all the others I can't help but be impressed(keep up the good work)......most of the questions I've had have already been answered but one still lingers in my mind....wot sort of security do you have to stave off all the fools that would try and Robb you in a heartbeat??(because their will be plenty of them)
Also hand on heart do you really think these 315s will outperform a Gavita 1000w......anouther thing and please don't take this the wrong way.....I've had a look at the 315s on line and their asking well over$500 bucks for one...obviously you won't have paid that for them......but.....their cost must have been pretty steep as opposed to a digi 600w($100)and don't you think using a duel spec bulb with a m/h every second light would have proved more cost effective with much the same results(spectrum wise).....I'm not disrespecting you mate,just wondering why when buying a large amount of equipment specifically for commercial purposes you would go with one of the more expensive choices........

Let's see... security, a hundred + cameras with motion detectors with direct feeds to the department of revenue plus the police. The Law doesn't play around when our alarm goes off...
The lights...
I have one 1000 watt DE Gavita in the building over some trees. The plants grew away from it towards the bank of 315s that are much farther away. The plants like the 315s...
As far as initial cost goes it's really not much different when getting them in bulk. In the long run its cheaper. Bulb replacement is 2+ years. Figure out how many DE bulbs you'd have to buy in those 2 years at 100 bucks each... HVAC load is also way less, as is energy consumption, so that saves cash as well. Over the long haul the 315s cost a bit more initially, but save you huge amounts of money after that, making the initial higher cost a non factor. And... the light quality is vastly superior.
And yes... 3 315s will crush the yields of a 1000 watt DE Gavita.

I appreciate it thank you. Any issue with my plants branches being a couple inches off the ground? The branches on this plant are an inch from soil
Although that makes me want to push the boundaries... More root more bud and growth. What if I scraped the bottoms of the arms closest to soil and added rooting hormone and raised the soil height and covered the scraped part.. Sounds like crazy talk and sounds like a sure way to get rot. But I'm curious on that.

Hey mate..hows things....can you give some numbers for a few of the plants you've already harvested......total per plant(average ozs)......and also I was wondering if you feel happy enuff with your bud structure(some close up pics maybay)and last but not least......does your op run as smoothly as it looks(pests,deficiencys...staff)and so on.....I'm asking because recently I have entered a business agreement with anouther grower to grow 100-120 plants with a silent partner.....this grow will NOT be legal and I'm trying to envisage any probs that may occurr during the grow......any insights would be appreciated.......one last thing.....I will be using the auto pot system for most of these plants ....but....I'm very interested in those warrior pots you use but can't find them anywhere in the UK.......can you provide a link for them.....cheers.....

Haha, ive had twins twice now. Lucky me. Once it was males and once it was females, a good females. I killed the weaker one and the remaining plant turned out just great. Im hoping for some good flower shots on the next update and i think i need to re read this thread. Im tempted to ask so many questions that probably have already been answered.
