basically what this means is if you don't get all this stuff u aint gonna grow good herb. So then i ask you sir, how is this not the birth of a new industry. that takes knowledge and hard work to crfeate a limited and highly demanded product. And now i hear its like 100 percent safe through a vape....i don't worry so much about my health, 80 percent safe through a icewater bong is good enough for me. Besides i think that my diet would kill me faster if i were less conscious of it. Just whos keepin the peace anyways, you guessed it. I think that there should be a holiday for potheads, the most oppressed peoples in the world.

I’m not quite sure where to begin. At first glance I was blown away by how impressive your op is. The financial investment as well as the tech used is what most only dream of.

Yet I was confused by your results. The massive seed investment made me wonder where the payoff went. Hopefully the genes would be top quality. If you’re spending that much on seeds, and the plants look that stretched after three weeks – something is wrong. And then you mention that it’s your first op, and it all becomes clear. This is something we can work with though.

You haven’t optimised your lighting. How high above the plants are they placed? If they’re air cooled, you should have been able to put them within a few feet of your plants, giving them exponentially more energy for growing. However, from the looks of things – they’ve remained stationary at the top of the grow room the entire time. Instead of wasting time and resources on LEDs (which are crap to begin with) and CFLs (which you don’t really need, and won’t make a more significant contribution than getting in your way and filling your room with more wiring) you should have been paying attention to your main guns - The HPS lights in the ceiling. They should always be within optimal range of your plants. This is easily determined by simply holding your hand above the plants. If the back of your hand is fine, then the plants will be too.

And that’s where we hit another problem. Your plants are different heights. This will result in cumulative growth patterns – since the taller plants are closer to the light, they will get more energy. Taller plants continue to grow taller, while shorter ones will be stunted from lack of light. Growth speed and height is something vital to consider when selecting your strains - especially if you’ll be growing them under the same lights and can’t control height by other means (like putting a brick under the pot for adjustment).

Your intention was to have a perpetual harvest with clones and mothers. Yet I’ve seen no indication that this is what you’re striving for. Once they were large enough to harvest for clones, you should have cut them until they looked like kindling. I kept waiting for you to do this and was confused when you never did.

[FONT=&quot]After taking your clones you should have bloomed the mothers to weed out the males. Once that was done you’d only keep the strongest pheno of every strain Why would you want to keep the weaker phenos? It is at this point that you’d fill your room with cuttings and starting your true grow op. Once the best pheno has been chosen. It’s work and it requires patience, but I would think that with a grow room like this you’d want to make the effort to take it all the way home. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
