It's very uncommon for people to get those kind of goals without growing high yielding strains like Big Bud or NL-5. If you really want that big of a yeild I woulda suggested shoving 2x600w's in their and hoping for the best. Pulling 2.5lbs from a 1000w light is pretty lofty. Just don't want you to be crushed if you fall short.I plan to veg them until they get half way around the pot. Some will get a little farther than others since some are already bigger than others, but that's the plan. I suppose that'll take another 3 weeks or so.
Maybe you're right and I'll only get 1-1½ lbs. My GOAL is still 2½. Might as well set the bar high! I won't be too upset if I only come close ... 2¼lbs would be okay too
With a little help from the RIU community, I think I'll be pretty close. We'll see. I'm not done building the tent, I still have to get the environmental controls going. If I do everything right, there is no reason it shouldn't come out right ... right?
You and I have pretty similar setups, save that I grow more plants and have my atmospheric controller dialed in, so even if your strain is a little higher-yielding, I'd say that works out to about a push.I plan to veg them until they get half way around the pot.

That's a way more legit way of looking at it to be honest. You'll be a lot happier if you set your expectations a lot more realistic.
I guess I won't get my hopes up too high. I know 1lb is doable because that's what I'm doing with my other grow already. That's got no environmental controls and a sorta shallow tray. That's also 12 plants, the space is 3'x6½' with a 1000w.
That's exactly why I can't wait to see how yours turn out. You have a nice canopy going. It's not really about the number of plants, it the size of the canopy, right? My best guess is 1½ lbs for you. If I get that too, I'll be satisfied. So really my "expectation" is 1lb, but I'm aiming at 2. Anything more than 1lb would be a fantastic bonus because it would be an improvement on my other system.
Canopy's not bad, but it's nowhere near dead even like I plan for my next grow with 64 homogeneous clones.
Yeah you're probably right. It was a nice little pipe dream I had going though. I'll be satisfied with 1-1½lb. That'll be more than enough to share with friends and stock the shelves. What more could a man ask for?
Ebay is the best place for that, and some may disagree, but IMHO any old electronic will do - no need to spend 4 or 500 for a Galaxy or Lumatek when a knockoff will do the same job at half the price.
Good to know. It's 4th or 5th on my priority list, but I like to start looking early so I know what to pay and how to spot a deal.
Dude...49ers and Lions? Why did you buy those in the first place? You thought Detroit was going to turn a corner? You'd have to damn near give those away.Good to know. It's 4th or 5th on my priority list, but I like to start looking early so I know what to pay and how to spot a deal.
The room is looking good. All the plants are recovered and growing again. My plants are growing wider than they are taller, so getting around the pot may take a minute.
I got word on the clones last night. He finally took them 3 days ago but they're still in recovery mode. When I balked at the late start he mentioned that he may be willing to part with a few that have been vegging for a month. I don't know how that will work with LST, but I may have to find out. I think I just sold my 49er tickets, so that'll get me some much-needed nutes. Anyone need tix to the 49ers vs Lions in 2 weeks? Cheap
). I pay $1,670 a year for 2 tickets and 1 parking pass in case anyone wondered.
That doesn't sound terrible. I figured you were either a season ticket holder or you bought a mini-pack. I used to do that for the Lakers. I can't afford the $10,000.00+ it cost now for laker season tickets so I bought 10 home games for like @ $2450 last years in a minipack. Sold nine of them and went to a game and made a couple of bucks.I've been a Season Ticket Holder for 4 years. When you buy season tickets you get ALL the games. I had to pay the same price for preseason 49ers vs Denver as I did for MNF. All 10 games of the season are the same price. Playoff games will be the same price also (i think
Haha, you must be in the IT business. That's the route I always take (traveling for a conference or class). Laker tickets are pretty pricey to sit in the good seats. Face value on my tickets is $245.00, but I didn't do it this year. I used to do it with a partner and he didn't have the money available on his credit card this year. He's a coworker and his sales have been off, so I understand, but I'll have to pay the full face value myself to go this year. Can't just sell'em all off and try to make out alright.Next year, I'll trade you 49ers tickets for Lakers tickets! I try to get to 1 Laker game a year, usually wrapped around a convention or a class I want to attend. This year I have a feeling ticket prices are going to be through the roof.
You suuuuure you don't wanna see the Lions game?
I use the pyrethron foggers in my grow room. I've never had problems w/ bugs since using it. It's nasty shit, but I use it once during veg and once during the first week of flower to make sure that I don't have problems during the coming weeks when my buds are forming. Has worked thus far.
