Those dudes are in their underwear
so i've been thinking about the 'old style' vs. the 'new style' g.y.p.s.y.b.u.s.h.g.r.o.w. ....
and i know you've said that the bean counter is requesting a return to the old style, but perhaps there is a 'happy medium'. Like just having 2-3 weeks of veg. time?

Someone that was a little kid once said:Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark
ONE: Don't miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
ELEVEN: No matter the storm, you are with friends.
For me its a hobby so numbers dont bother me. My grows are just for personal use but the person that helped me start growing indoors grew purely for profit. He did 3 grows of 4 plants each year and was making in excess of 90k per year from a total of only 12 plants. Everything he grew got sold to one person. I dont care what anyone says because that is what I call efficient if your growing for profit.Well I'm thinking about it ...
but the zero veg SOG is soooo efficient...
I like the idea of having the HIDs in 12/12 ALL the time...
Any extra veg seems to me like extra cost...
How do you justify vegging? how do you work your numbers to make it come out on top?
damn man that looks like sum dank !!!good job!!!! new pics on my thread check um out https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/205127-zona-mid-aero-cfl-grow-43.html#post2855815the 5" clone in the contest...
and here is a "low profile" clone that I have going too...
how about this?

you justify doing some veg. time for the original reason that you wanted to try growing just a couple plants per light...Well I'm thinking about it ...

please pardon the curiousity but i'm wondering how anyone makes 90k off of 12 plants. is he getting 3 lbs. a plant and selling each pound for 3200 or what?For me its a hobby so numbers dont bother me.

Yeah on average he is getting 12lbs per grow (3lbs per plant). He sells it all to one person for $2700 per lb so thats about 30k total from each harvest. Minus his power bill and the nutes etc he would probably be up 28k.please pardon the curiousity but i'm wondering how anyone makes 90k off of 12 plants. is he getting 3 lbs. a plant and selling each pound for 3200 or what?
if he's growing 36 lbs. a year ... no, that's nothing to be ashamed of.

sorry for getting off-topic in ur thread gypsy... just one more question on this...Yeah on average he is getting 12lbs per grow (3lbs per plant).

Four months is a long veg time, some strains might be able to pull off close to three pounds but you would have to do some topping. Three pounds is a really huge plant though.sorry for getting off-topic in ur thread gypsy... just one more question on this...
it sounded like this was an indoor grow. you said 4 month turn-over. 4 plants per crop... 3 lbs. per plant. is he running like (6) 1k bulbs then? i'd have a hard time imagining 3lbs. coming off one plant in 4 months if it were only a 1k bulb per plant. does he do some of the veg. in another room? is he using co2? hydro? i'm always ready for a paradigm shift i'm still pondering ways of running less than 99. i'm just having a hard time imagining an average of 3 lbs. per plant under -any- indoor setup. 3 lbs. per plant ... you would be lucky to get that after having a plant outdoors for 8 months under full sunlight.
