hey stinkbud, thanks for all the great info. and congrats on the killer plants/setup you got going. Had a few quick questions. How tall are your plants at harvest time?
The last batch was too tall. I was running some Skunk from seed and they just about grew through the roof. I had to bend them down and tie them and then bend down the shoots!
Normally they range in height from 3-4ft.
Do u have a difficult time getting your light to penetrate such intense foliage?
Yes, that's why the 1000's work so well.
I am trying to decide between your great system and an ebb and flow sog grow. Are there any non-organic nutrients you recommend?
Do yourself a favor and run my formula. The taste is unreal! The ONLY reason I switched to hydro was because of the new organic nutes they have for hydro. Organic buds taste sweet, it's hard to explain but the aftertaste lingers on your pallet long after you exhale. Organics have no heavy metals in them so they are better for your health.
Once you try my mix you will never go non-organic again.
Would you rather use 4 600 watt cooltubes or 2 1000 watt colltubes?
4-600s would give you a better spread for sure. Why cooltubes? Unless you have a major heat problem you would be better off with a different reflector.
Also, is there anything you think you could do to improve your yield and or quality? Thanks again for passing on the great know-how to us!
Easy! More light. I'm going to add a couple more 1000W lights after I get my power all hooked up.
I can't just go down and hire the local electrician. I have a friend that can do it but he's a stoner
and I've been waiting 3 months for him to come out of his stupor.
Quality is dependent on the strain. I can honestly say I have the most incredible strains you could ever imagine.
I have this one strain called Purple Silver. It tastes
exactly like grape Bubble Yum gum. It's that sweet. It's almost too sweet if that's possible. The high is the best I have ever had. It makes me want to create things. I'm an artist so for me it's the perfect bud. Too bad it's available in clone form only.
