Cool isnt it? Talk about efficiency. Top quality produce with next to no impact on environment and very low cost. Labor in those big commercial setups has largely been automated also. Next all we need as a planet is affordable highly efficient desalination plants for clean water. I heard at the moment they are expensive and intensive. Maintenance is high also. The Saudis got em i believe.
One could also use certain kinds of plants to drink brackish water and transpire pure water vapor in an enclosed space like a greenhouse, then condense that back into liquid.
What numbers? The thread title? No....sorry. I dont think so. Theres only so much one can do with hps lamps indoors. The numbers yall place on here is just silly. I been in this game a long ass time and seen and grown a hell of alot. This 2 ....2.5...or 3 grams per watt shit is total forum bullshit. And perpetuated by realtively newish growers that dont know they asshole from an elbow.
Idk I've seen plenty of guys on here who veg a extra month and have hit 2.5. They have perfected their shit but it's been achieved before
Dude...are you confusing your numbers? Grams per watt and pounds per lamp are totally different.
. I am getting better though lol. And this gram per watt thing is just ridiculous, how in the hell could it be used as a comparison without time factored in?
I usually veg separately too, especially in the summer. In the winter I veg in the tents I have to create more heat...Don't know what strains you got going only 7 or 8 weeks??
Most I ever got was about 1.15 grams per watt, but I have height restrictions bc of 6 foot tent. I really don't see anything over 1.75 grams per watt realistic.... And that's with an awesome strain.I hate these threads lol. Makes me feel very inadequate lol. I get around one per and that's on a good day not average
Anything over 1per watt Is way above average. I only rarely see people getting into to 2 range. No one should ever fell bad about 1 per
You dont see anyone getting 2 grams per watt.....ever. That is a fact. Anyone approaching 0.7 or 0.8 is the shit in my book. Even 0.6 growers....you gotta be paying attention to some fukin thing. Anything over a pound per 1000 watt hps...youre an above averagw grower....no doubt. Again....i speak the truth. Not many can appreciate how difficult it is to get a gram per watt of flowering light at harvest time. People that throw the numbers around casually are full of shit and do not grasp the concept. It actually is a fairly decent measure. Any other variable can be changed. The only constants are watts....and time.
I agree, a feel good number that most obtain with months of vegatation.I hate these threads lol. Makes me feel very inadequate lol. I get around one per and that's on a good day not average
Breeders have been shortening finishing times for decades now, so that's incorrect.
As ever, you say some very intriguing things. I have a batch coming that's going to be too small to fill in the trellis. What do you suggest to extend the stretch phase and help me fill things in?
You know me tty...iam in the hps camp...still. This whole new lighting (cob) is a different ball game. And your at that frontier. You and a small handful of others are the Lewis and Clark with the new cob stuff. And its about time i say. Only so much you can do with HID lighting. Its old news. Double ended is about as good as it will get with gas pressure lamps.
14/10 to 12/12 over a 2-3 week span is the method.
