and everyone here is amazed when someone can hit over a pound per 1000w. it because we use bigger pots and our root mass is way larger than yours. a plant vegged for 2 months in a 10 gal pot flowered with a 600w will yield more than a plant flowered with a 1000w that only been vegged for 4 weeks. i personally know people and have seen their grows that hit 30oz per 600w lamp. more root more fruit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the problem with advise on rollitup is that most of it comes from people who will never graduate beyond an 85f closet grow using pantyhose filters and cfl bulbs for side lighting. they refuse to spend the money to do things properly and try to nig-rig everything to save a few pennies but what they really do is doom themselves to a never ending series of problems because they think hydro stores are evil, helicopters are flying around everywhere trying to sniff out their 400w lamp and that anyone who tells them they're wrong is an asshole. seriously go get jorge cervante's grow bible, ed green's grow bible or ed rosenthal's grow bible and you will never ask this site another question again.
dont get me wrong im not saying "EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN TEN GALLON POTS OR YOUR MORONS!!!" i was simply countering swisher's comment that anything above 5 gallons is wasted. i just want to make it clear that that is not so. i realize people's spaces are different and yes your right two 5 gal plants will, for the most part, equal what a single 10 gal plant would produce. however if you could take those same two plants and put them in 10 gal pots with sufficient lighting during veg (NOT CFL"S) you would have larger yielding plants than had they been left in the 5 gal. how to we fill such a large container with roots? we accomplish it with beneficial bacteria and fungi i.e. Great White, Sub-Culture B&M, Roots Excelurator, Oregonism and on and on. Saying anything above 5 gal is wasted is misinformation and that is what i'm on a mission to correct on rollitup. i want people to succeed. i want people to grow to the best of their abilities but an extreme close mindedness has engulfed this forum. its like incest, all its information comes from within itself with hardly any injection of knowledge from anyone outside the forum community. in turn we get misinformation, bad grow rooms, nig-rigged setups and people blowing hard earned money on the advise of people who have never and may never actually produce the kind of bud you would want to buy if it was you looking for a bag. swisher consider it tough love.
Let me start this verbal assault by saying you are a fucking idiot. I feel the use of such harsh language is warranted because of your use of a racist statement. That alone shows just how stupid you are so I have decided to forgo the big words and speak to you in a manner that your fourth grade education allows you to understand you red neck retard!
First, getting a pound off a 1000w light might be amazing for you but that's pretty standard buddy. 0.5g per watt is nothing major. When people are getting 2lbs. + per 1000w then the community at large finds that to be an accomplishment.
Obviously a plant vegged twice as long will yield more! Is this a conclusion you came to on your own or did you read it in a book? A plant vegged 8 weeks versus a plant vegged 4 weeks will always produce more. Doesn't matter if it's a 600w or 1000w.
Judging by the majority of your statements and your lack of knowledge I am guessing you have an 85f closet with CFL's. Who cares if you grow with CFL's. Lots of guys do it and get killer buds. If it works for them what the fuck matters? Some people have restrictions that don't allow them to grow with HID lights. Some people are growing a plant or two for personal consumption. Don't they have the right to come to a forum?
The fact that you think that all the knowledge you need is in the grow bibles goes to show just how ignorant you really are. Those books have great resources but everyones situation is different and those books don't cover half the shit you will need to know for your specific grow.
5 gallon or 10 gallon has nothing to do with plant health. Putting your plant into a pot that is too big for it will for sure stunt it's growth. If the OP is growing anything under 6' tall then a 5 gallon pot is MORE than enough.
Two 5 gallon plants grown correctly will yield more than a 10 gallon plant. If you knew shit you would know this.
You are on a mission to correct stuff on RIU? Are you kidding me toolbag!! You're knowledge is at best on par with the kid I pay to clean my grow room. You need to learn a whole lot more before you start dishing shit out. You are probably the sole reason some people's plants are laying on the floor dead.
Seriously, shut the fuck up and start reading the threads and try and learn something.
