One of the main ideas most people need to get out of their mind that they are feeding their plant with their nutrients. You are giving the plant chemical pathways to be fed. like 99% of plant mass actually comes from the CO2 the plant breathes. Proper aeration is the best way to get more.

On that note, i opened up my air vent now since it is summer with air conditioning on temp is down dramatically. Also, my co2 in the room has jumped to 1200 and staying steady. That said, I should see an increase in size and yield...

So nice to not have to fill co2 tanks....at least for the time being....while i save for a portable air conditioner.

Love Big Bud powder....it lasts forever too. I only use a little in my grows and it really seems to boost things in the long run..............

Good to see some pics from folks - AWESOME!!!!!

Yea my NYCD momma is exploding! So far so good with the Big Bud powder....

Well here is the momma NYCD, been going since 5-11, not even a month! I Big Bud her 1 time a week....she gets watered 4 times a day with sensi bloom a & b and a little cal mag plus...mainly for the iron as the bloom doesn't have any. Its a drip irrigation system.

We switched to AN and almost doubled our yield. Reservior temp and quality (fresh) lamp bulbs make all the difference .

I use GH at probably half the cost and will compete with anyone's yields, anywhere. It's not the nutes.

There are many more factors to get high yields...you cant say i will compete with anyone, cause it all depends...depends on how long you let your plant veg for and with what kind of light....also watering cycle, grow medium type, etc, etc....

My momma NYCD has been vegging from a clone since 2-20. She put on a foot and some inches in her transition stretch. She is as tall as me now flowering buds just keep expanding...crazy as hell.

Here are some pics with the lights on, but my camera setting is for low light to take the damn brightness out . There are 3 400 watt Super HPS Hortilux bulbs. Third pic is of the flower room and the second to last pic is of the super skunk she is budding now. Can't wait.

SO, to my question, in your opinion HomeBrewer, what is it then?

I will add this too, momma was veggin with organic fish emulsion, then i switched to AN since I added my irrigation system. I know they make organic nutes....I have seen the sensi stuff in action and I like the results so far. Momma with organic nutes has pheno differences than my other nycd's flowering, AN makes their fan leaves huge! Organic makes them more textured and smaller. At least thats what I am seeing... Last pic is of the leaves, to compare. Left in my hand is momma, right is a clone of her, the clone has fatter leaves accentuating her Indica Afghani trait, momma is thinner and thinner at the base of the individual fan leave too. Mexican Sativa trait???

You are correct, there are many factors and an experienced grower will do well with any reputable brand of nutes. In regards to a long veg period, that really doesn't make a difference indoors and can hurt you actually. If you normally veg 6 plants for a month but decide to veg them for 4 months instead (flowering with a 400), you're not going to get much more than 1 gram per watt per 2 month period with either veg period. The longer veg period is actually less efficient as far as total yields given time.

I think I missed your question.

I would have to disagree, With momma vegging and getting as big as she has, she is producing a shitload more than the smaller NYCD that is almost ready. Size matters, depending on the strain you can get multiple colas just from size alone, I have that with my momma. Topping is not needed, only stesses the plant.....

I think we're getting off the topic. I only responded to the guy above because he claimed to double his yield by changing nutes.

But in regards to your large plant, if you had 3 large plants or 6 of them or 20 under a 400hps, you're still only going to yield about 1 gram per watt. In that respect, size doesn't matter. But again, that's not why I commented.

at 400 grams X 3 = 1200grams. Thats cool with me, I am not complaining

I grow for personal use, medicinal, recreation and spiritual. So I am not concerned with quantity, more quality, as I am with most things in life.

That said I understand your point.

This grow going on will harvest within weeks of eachother, I am going to stick with the Big Bud for now, as it hasnt hurt my plants yet.

So, on that note since we have conversation going on, what types of plants do you recommend and why? I am a connoisseur, collector if you will.

I'm a fan of the sativa dominant strains. I like the low paranoia, energetic, heady effect personally and one of the best that i've ever had is Soma's Amnesia Haze. I also find that sativa dominant strains make music sound better and one of my personal faves at the moment is pictured below. She'll veg to about 18 inches and flower for 11 weeks. She's a heavy yielder and 3.5 ounces per plant x 6 plants under a 600hps is easily attainable. She'll get your adrenaline pumping while inducing mild-to-medium strength euphoria. Her tricome production seems to be on the low side but she seems as strong as anything else with twice the ice, not sure why that is.

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! love the color! How is the taste? Nice job! Hydro yes?

I too love sativa dominant myself, music is awesome on it, love the clubs on it.

Right now, I am a kid in the candy store, so I am trying different strains till I find the "golden" one. Soma send discreetly to the US?

This is my NYCD that is about a week away from 70 days, she is just ripening now and building on the buds....crystals are damn near 100 percent cloudy...I took a branch off today and letting it dry.

When it comes to taste, my palate is more tuned towards beer, lol. The taste is earthy and slightly spicy and she was grown in the dirt. She tends to be a little more frosty in hydro though. Your NYCD looks good! When do you harvest? I like near 100% cloudy personally. I see a lot of people waiting for amber, blah, blah, blah. I'm not a fan of amber.

Beer lol...I am not a drinker anymore...like thc way more, but I throw back some beers here and there. Thanks on the NYCD, yea she is smelling nice, doused her with Bud Candy today...place I bought seeds from says 70 days, so next monday, I am smokin regs with seeds right now and she is very ambery... I heard amber gears more towards body buzz...but the regs hit me in the head...so dunno...

I am buying next round for sure Super Silver Haze females (http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds....6fdcfb8897d81a1dbc0&currency=49&product_id=61) and Light of Jah females

Homebrewer, your pic looks hella different than the one on soma's site, much better to me. Says 12-13 weeks, you go 11, why cut it short?

Sorry for the confusion. The pic above is a local strain which reminds me most of Soma's stuff that I loved so much over in Amsterdam.

Gotcha, that local strain is very nice! Good job.
