Before answering that would you mind letting us in on how that conclusion is drawn?



These plants just went into flower so im curious as to what would make you think this was a "non-vigorous" grow. It would seem like perhaps a few questions would need to be asked before drawing that conclusion.

These plants are about 9 days in flower and a 14 day veg. SOG. 3gal bags.

Its a 6k room. Plants were all sent into Veg when they reached 12"-14". This room is actually showing amazingly vigorous growth thanks to an amazing amount of fungi innoculated early and continued and excellently maintained feeding schedule. We have good hopes for this room.

5lb goal. 50 plants. Fingers crossed. Thanks for looking!

Im basing that off the hand in the corner picture. Those leaves look smaller then the palm of my hand. After reading my post I realized I came off like a troll. Not my intentions, I was looking at this on my iPhone and those plants looked fairly small. The reasonn behind my questioning is i am used to seeing trained plants so when i see untrained plants i tend to jump to conclusions. Also your room has a fair amount of panda film and ducktape over the windows, usually a grower with the ability to grow large wouldnt cut these corners. Normally they would seal that window, then hang panda film IMO and experiences.

Your goal should definitely be achieved with that many ladies and that much wattage. Anything short of that and you are doing something wrong. Sorry for my post I was not trying to be a troll just asked my question in a weird form. Carry on with that nice garden :weed:

What happens to the run off, is it drained out or do the plants sit stagnant?

Fuckin room looks bomb guy.

Don't forget however you're on a forum of guys who all think they are the greatest growers on the planet. As I said previously, some are very cool.

Would offer advice but due to you saying you aren't planning on staying in that spot id say you're doin it right.

I'm big fan of SOG! Fuck 4-8 week veg times.

10-15% runoff evaps out of that tray. Might consider going to a flood and drain type situation for commercial growing since the watering will be much less maintenance and more even. However then we have to clean many resevoirs and rocks. Its a tossup. Plus we really like growing in Coco.

Keep in mind these are not vegged very long. I think that 5lbs is a good estimate.

That output would not cut it with us. That's less than .5 g/ watt. Add an extra two weeks on your veg time, with fewer ppants per lights and see what it does to your yields. Then do a cost benefit analysis over 12 months.

I've seen flood tables with coco coir medium. The again you can reuse hydroton over and over.

Done it a handful of times and we tend to keep going back to smaller plants without cropping and more of them.

This particular room however we screwed ourselves because one of our asssitants was topping when he was feeding. Hence we can only get 50 plants under the 6k this time. Typically we would go for 70-80 and hit closer to 6-6.5

We can't do more than a 14 day veg.

I see what looks to be a random Geo Pot or some type of fabric on the left. I prefer fabric over plastic myself :)

yea its a geopot. Verdict is still out on them. I don't like that they are WIDE, i wish they ran deep for the sake of doing SOG which is how we grow but we shall see if there is any difference.

I too wish they were not as wide. Been telling people that for a while.

it causes 2 problems IMO. wider bushier plants which is also not what we want and bases that take up more real estate and require more lights to cover them. a duopoly of negative issues for a SOG grower.

I like using those hydrofarm bags. Dirt bags for a dirt bag haha!!!

Speaking of growing, check out these Ace of Spades nugs:

Got three cuts of that right now in week two flower. Can't wait for the frosty nugs and smoke. Loved it when you grew it hopefully mine can hold a candle. I'll have to dab u out on some wax I'll make with it.
