    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I do not have a "club". We are a grow only collective association, with a private membership structure. I always have my eye out for new genetics. Cloneville sucks ass. Their clones die upon arrival, and the ones that live only do so to support the spider mites. The single surviving plant...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I think I have told this story here before. One of my best indoor yields was a 4x8 tray packed with 275 plants in 4x4x4 rockwool blocks. You read it right...275 plants, or 9 plants per sq ft. The table was a flood & drain. and was lit by a single 1000 watt HPS, Agrosun bulb, on a light mover...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Could you please post links to these larger LED grows? I, for one, am very interested in any larger grow op running LED's. I would really like to see an LED that needed to be 3'-4' from the canopy. That just sounds to bright to be true. Perhaps we're stretching the truth a bit? My 1000 HPS's can...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Puff, you're absolutely right. I need to see a pic of a 3K LED grow. The problem I'm having is actually SEEING one. LOL. This has been the root of my frustration. You know how much that LED settup would cost. I just cannot jusify plunking down the $$$ until I see with my own eyes what they can...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Sorry the pic ended up way up there. This is the best pic I currently have showing dense growth down low. I can take some more tomorrow. The reason I don't run out and buy some LED's to try is because to conduct an accurate test, I would have to light up a whole 8x8 tray in my "test". Otherwise...

    DWC Bubbleponics with top feed 6 plant!

    OK, bro. You already know this, but your roots look like hell. You MUST cool down the water. Too warm of water is the #1 cause of root rot in DWC systems. I have ran numerous very large RDWC systems with 65F water and have never had a problem. Beofre getting a chiller, I fought rot all the time...

    Need help asap i think this clinic is trying to jack me

    It amazes me how easily suggesting calling the police rolls off your tounge. It's very clear what you would do should you be placed in a sittuation where you're being pressured to give up someone else's freedom to save your own. If you would call the police over a couple thousand bucks, you...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Good post. I am aware that several LED's are available that can compete with 400 watt HPS's. The real test, though, is the 600 watt HPS equavalant...and then, of course, the 1000. The 400 watt HPS just doesn't quite have enough lumens to pump out piles of great buds. When they finally rolled out...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    As I said, my experience with Bushmaster is that it DOES NOT increase yield. BUT, it may give you a more compact plant with THE SAME yield...allowing you more plants in a given area, and therefore more TOTAL yield in said area. That being said. I do not use the stuff to increase yield. I use...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    I think watt for watt LED may be able to match HID IF the plants are kept short. This, though, would be where the high cost consideration would come into play for me. I don't think that saving just my cooling costs would justify the high initial costs. The bulb cost is also an issue, but since I...

    Discovery to Introduce New Series ‘Weed Wars’; Premieres This Fall

    I don't know about outdoor busts. Here in California, C.A.M.P (campaign against marijuana production) lost HALF its funding this year. These are the guys who fly helicopters all over Northern California looking for plantations. They have been the arch enemy of our outdoor brothers for many...

    Discovery to Introduce New Series ‘Weed Wars’; Premieres This Fall

    The DEA also seems to have a limit on how big they will let a pot business become. When Oakland wanted large scale commercial grow ops, the Feds said "at your own peril mother fuckers". Thank god for that. Steve will attempt to show Harborside as the best model for the industry. That is too...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    No yield reduction. In fact, potential for increased yield. If you use it in the stretch phase, the plants stay more compact. So much so, that you can fit more plants in a given area. However many plants you add will be your yield increase. The difference in finish size between a treated and un...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Sorry for delay. one half Ml per gallon MAX. Feed with plain water day before, day of, and day after treatment. Raise and dim lights treatment day and the next few days. My plants respond to just 1/3 ml per gallon. Best time to use is about 3 days before stretch starts in bloom. Plant will...

    I dissagree with calling the police, whatever the slight. They may be total a-holes, but we don't call the cops on eachother...no matter what. That's a slippery slope.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by "schematic of clones"? I take cuts every 20 days. The grow cycles every 20 days: 20x3=60...60 day strains.

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    I've seen a couple 400 watt induction lights in person. They were doing pretty good. They are heavy, and pretty big. The ones I saw were about 36" long x around 15" wide. The guy was lighting a 2' x 4' area with each light, combined to make a 4' x 4' area. I saw the buds at around 6 weeks into...
