Question About 1000 Watt Bulbs

Not sure why my pics aren't working, maybe because they're really big pics. I will edit the post and use imageshack to upload them.

Sweet. i was checking out this guys op:https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html and hes apparently getting a lb every 2 weeks. I was thinking if i cut this in half and went hydroponics i would be able to achieve my goal. i just dont know if i like the idea of having to have 60 plants growing when i only really wanted 15. hmmmmm...

if i were you, i'd get two 600w lamps. they are the most efficient HID as far as energy consumption goes. not only that but if you have two of them, your lighting should be more efficient around that many plants as well.

bubblebucketing + SCRoG would give you a helluva better yield as well. i bet you could SCRoG out 6 plants 2x2 easily enough under two 600's.
could easily harvest 2 plants everymonth. SCRoG'n it should give you much better yield as if you did have 15 plants. (not exactly but you get the point)

i don't think i could ever see myself throwin out a regular grow without a SCRoG screen. its way more fun training and toying with the plants than just watchin.

i'm no pro at all. but SCRoG with limited lighting and other factors seem to pull off far better yields.
i saw a guy pull 450g off a single SCRoG plant under a 400w lamp.

throw in the rest of your plants and a perpetual grow. you'd be set.

can u actually grow 4 full sized plants in that bucket??? Thats sweet. How do you put the germinated seed into that medium like that without it like falling thru the cracks or something???

i like to start to scrog tho like in veg. how could i have a perpetual grow and scrog at the same time without having to wait till flower to scrog? do you think scrog is better than sog??? i dont like the idea of cutting off branches?? like why would u want to cut off potential bud sites?

4 small plants, I'm only doing 1 or 2 plants per bucket, I put 4 net pots in there because there was room for them.

The seed would go into a rockwool cube first, then into the clay pellets.

oh ya, i totally forgot about rockwool. is this like the same shit at roxul??? i use roxul at work sometimes. its like a yellow fiberglass???

I never heard of roxul. I think rockwool is spun rock, kinda like fiberglass. I know you don't want to breath the dust from that shit in....

pretty sure its the same shit. its yellow and a little like insulation but not quite and its kinda furry...ish
