MY MARIJUANA GROW OP .. 12 x 1000 watt lights!~

[marsellus wallace]

do you run co2? if so what controller do you have controlling your ppm flow?

 

[Auzzie07]

Nope. I'm a soil grower and was wondering about 1000 PPM nute strength for 2 weeks vegging. That's why I asked.

 

[marsellus wallace]

yeah thats if your vegging as long as i did.. how long are you trying to veg ...??? becasue if your vegging for 4 weeks your going to want to start co2 1st week of flowering... at 1000ppm, increasing 100 every week until 1700.. if you have a control that can control that... co2 is very dangerouse

Unfortunately, I don't have a control (or the space) for CO2 in this grow, hopefully 2 harvest from now I will be setting up my permanent grow space. Right now I'm just working with a closet, 4' HO T5 6 bulb (full spectrum), soil(less - in some), some organic nutrients, and a buncha fans.

well I read the first 6 pages or so of this thread. Cool ass room. But I think you don't understand physics, or more importantly, the inverse square law. You are simply wasting tons of electricity.

You have 12000w mounted at 4 ft high. Total amount of light 1 foot away from your bulbs = 12* 140,000= 1,680,000 lumens.
But rather your plants are 4' from the bulbs so only 10,000 lumens hit your plants. 12* 10,000 = 120,000 lumens.

Yup, you sound like an expert 15 year old grower to me. That is, 15 years old. JK MAN. lol

But I'm not hating, only making suggestions on how to properly use the hundreds of dollars of resources you are wasting per month.

CO2 is not very dangerous. 2-Mercaptoethanol is dangerous. But thats besides the point. The point is the optimum time to use CO2 is very early in veg. Waiting until you flip 12/12 is not exactly the brightest idea but its better than not using it at all.

every commercial grow with multiple (im talking like 10) lights that i have seen, always have their lights up like that. i never understood why but they still get density...

 

[medz]

Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's even remotely a good idea. I can't even begin to fathom why not run all the lights on cool tubes so your plants can be nearly touching the lights. To me, this is a no brainer for a lot of useful light.

I do have no doubts he will approach 1lb/plant.

 

[medz]

ps I like your grow RZZ. I absolutely love SCROG. Have been hooked on it since day 1.

 

[rzza]

thanks, its funny cuz i always describe mine as a scrog without a screen and people are always like hey i dont see the screen lol

so anyhow yea mine is true sog imo.

FIRST OFF TO ALL THE HATERS. i have been growing cannabis for over 15 years... not one of you have any ideas what your talking about... not only am i going to yield 1 lb per plant, i will be getting cannabais from bottoms of my plants... rzza has something completely different ... if you honestly think that going SEE OF GREEN IS CHEAPER YOUR OUT OF YOURE MIND.... not only do you have to use more nutrients , you have to set up an irrigation system for 100 plants.. money goes into that... MUCH MORE NUTRIENTS....


i have done thigns you could have never imagined.. this is BY FAR THE MOST EFFECIENT WAY of growing the most potent and most yield COMPARED TO SOG!!!!!

if your telling me that i will not get 1lb per plant, i want you to wait for this harvest and show u.. stick around


trust people that actually know about things... i am NO "NOOB" THAT IS RICH AND THREW HIS MONEY AWAY
i am a caregiver that donates all of his earnings to my patients., if all i get is bad comments from people that have absolutely no idea what they are talking about you shouldnt be posting crap you dont know about..

thank you for the people that actually support my efforts.. you guys wont be let down... i have over 17 plants that are 3 feet wide 4 feet tall and have over 30 different nodes ready to produce resined filled cannabis

have fun... i know what im doing though, just dont criticize if you have never attempted to grow like this..

I figured you would get all pissed off lol not my intention! but I always seem to do that to people when I say what im thinking out loud seems to me I must have hit you in a sensitive area. sorry. i was not saying u dont have a nice op cuz u do. I was just trying to say if you lowered the lights you could use less of them imo and it would be just as effective as having them high up and close together imo. I have seen the same amount of productivity with less lights. rzza probably wont yield as much as you but he prob will get a higher gram to watt ratio meaning more efficient. sog will cost less over a period of time with all the electricity your using. I do not believe you will get 1lb per plant dry but may be I would love to see it and give you props if you do. o yea u never said what ur electric is monthly would u mind sharing it with us thanks and keep up the good work and pics we love pics! and good luck to you

 

[marsellus wallace]

we still havent gotten an elecrtical bill.. we are estimating it to run us around 2-3 k (note we are running a 5-ton ac) ...

rzza have you seen ops at larger magnitudes than mine?.. if so have you noticed one key thing??? the lights are all placed at the same height for a REASON. rzza even pointed it out that he has seen this and still arguments.. but its ok i know my method works and stand by it .... you did not hit me in any "soft" spot, because im not a pussy, if anyone could get offended on the internet then they have a problem.. im on here to show other growers about the wonderful world of growing cannabis.

and your right im a 15 year old that has thousands of dollars to spend .. makes myself look low key

new update today ... wanted the nugs to fill in some more... its day 15 !

 

[marsellus wallace]

if i placed my lights any lower than they are at right now my tallest plant will get burned , its withing 2 feet already... just so that everyone can somewhat get an idea ... my tallest plant is 5 feet 10 inches ... hopefully didnt grow anymore from last night

 

[mr. green thumb 01]

cool cool glad to hear that so I was thinking while i was smoking like i do so much and came up with this....28 plants 12 lights thats 2.3 plants per light a lb is 453.59 grams so one lb per plant thats 453.59 x 2.3 is 1047.257 per 1000 watts which would be pretty good thats 1.04 g a watt. what do you usually average per watt? If you are only a provider and thats how you live/pay bills thats fing awesome you must be doing something right to have a setup like that! o and you keep saying we so I assume you have some investing buddies..?

 

[rzza]

the lights are all placed at the same height for a REASON. rzza even pointed it out that he has seen this and still arguments.

i havent argued either side, i just stated that i have noticed this in every big grow room and i mentioned that i always wondered why....

so what is that REASON that your talking about? im sure there is a good one, im just naive to it.

 

[rsharp]

so i looked at your pics again. (b/c everyones saying your lights are too far away.) maybe im not seeing what everyone else is seeing. your lights are fairly close if i must say so myself. anyways your plants are 9 days floweing. doesnt that mean your plants prolly havnt even stretched yet. so when its all said and done the plants will be signifagently closer to the lights. Its not like you can raise and lower a light system like that. so u put the light system high and use more lights.. BAM its the perfect setup. u have plenty of light and plenty of vertical space to grow all you want! if your harvesting $140,000 worth of pot every few months the electricity bill is prolly not that important at all!!!

The Inverse Square Law - Intensity = light output/distance x 2

so lets say your 1000w watt is putting out 140,000 lumens

now at two feet it drops to 35,000

and at three feet it drops to 15,555

four feet its at 9999 and so on...

so you can see from that how inefficient your set up is.... ever inch matters, but your making up for this just by sheer numbers

tell me im wrong?

BUT DONT GET ME WRONG im subbed and i cant wait to see those buds

 

[marsellus wallace]

sorry for making that sound like i was pointing you out rzza~~!!

i was actually using you in defense of myself i didnt mean for it to say "and still arguments" towards yourself. it was more towards the people telling me about my yield ...

RSHARP has it right..

pictures fool the eye , i just know my lights are where there supposed to be...

if there is light at the top of the canopy (enough light that is) to cover the whole area , intertwining lumens set off of by the lights that are only 2 feet apart... your plants will get as much light as they need... theres reason to this... each light is said to give u 2lb.. how the hell are you going to yield more in a sog just because you have more plants??? its the amount of light output that says at the end of the day how much yield there will be... i just decided to make my plants bigger and less of them...

if i wanted to put one plant under 1000 watts i (with this said) get 2lb's in that one plant, if i 10 plants i will still get 2lb's.. its all common misconception its the ammount of light output not amount of plants...

rzza i like ur setup

Joking..No matter the efficiency these are gonna be monsters
