READ! then ask...

dont mean to be rude, but what was the initial point of this thread ?

to tell people to read before asking, to start the "ask a noob" thread or what ?

who grows weed, if they dont plan to smoke it, you got plans to sell it ?

who officially weighs they're product before drying, for statistical purpose or curiousity than sure, but the official weight is dried.

Hi Kush - I think this thread is pretty much mine, as Blu says it landed in the wrong place. I happened upon it and asked his advice on growing since I really have a hard time with technical set-ups and descriptions of set-ups. There are just millions of set-ups. So he gave me some good advice - also others came in on this with good advice.

Just thought you would like an answer.

Thanks Cap - I could not find the description for these acronyms on here - or at least not quick enough.

I grew16 plants under flourescent and averaged well over a pound per plant (wet) in about 12 weeks. I'll try super cropping with pear next....but considering what very little I did for these plants, I'm more than willing to bet I can get over 2 pounds per plant.

I don't smoke!

We did a fast dry of a bud for test....it smells and tastes like apple, but smokes and has the same effects as white widow.

You don't smoke, but then tried it? You don't smoke yet you grew 4 lbs of pot? Never mind that you say this was with shop light floros, you grew 4 pounds of pot that you don't smoke. I have a legal medical grow in cali, this is a felony everywhere! So...really...come on, you can be honest...it's just us gullible pot heads here...did you maybe, just maybe...make this up? Think about the area that 16 cannabis plants which yielded a qp each would take up. Now imagine the overhead and side lighting that would be required to try to obtain these kinds of yields. Add this to the imagined area. Now add up the imagined watts used and ask why again. Remember this is not even high output T5's. So again, are you full of shit or completely out of you mind desperately seeking a meaningful long term relationship with your celly (cell mate)in the DOC (Department of Corrections) ROFLMAO (rolling on floor laughing my ass off) thanks, laughter is good for the soul...so is confession, or so I have heard. I was born in the show-me-state let's see some original pics of this "operation". Drug dealers suck sweaty balls! Peace. ***no paragraph breaks due to server!, even tried to edit!***

I agree that Blu is full of bat guano...

Maybe he was growing in space and used the direct sunlight supplemented with some NASA flouros!

Or maybe it was in La La Land, I go there from time to time.

My 600W HPS couldn't even do 1 lb per plant I want to know how flouros could. If that is true we have all been wasting time and money.

Oh Mr. Knowledgeable please show us pictures and teach us your ways and we will all bow down to you (if your for real of course).

So under flouros 1 lb of wet weight equals what? Less than 1/8 ounce, now that I would believe.

Talks like a cop

Blu - I have faith in your statements. Are you going to defend yourself? 1/8 lb. would last me a year. I get high on a few tokes most of the time. Unless I get an attack of paranoia. I have thrown it down the john a few times with deep regret later on.

Tree

haha only time it got flushed was when I was younger and my mum found it or something

As for a pound a plant, I believe it is possible under the right circumstances, but I have no idea how. And a pound would most likely be the wet weight, which would end up with about 6 ounces per plant, which still seems a bit high. Although I would love it!

Its easy enough to get an ounce per plant, which for an actual medicinal purpose would be quite enough for a while. As for us potheads..... thats another story. lol. I could go through an ounce in a week easily enough. I've done it in a day lol

But I only veg 4 plants and grow about 2 females on average per grow. I usually get about an ounce in a half to two and a half ounces per plant, which satisfies me fine. I start vegging 4 more each time I start flowering, have a harvest every 8 week or so. I veg for like 6-7 weeks. 4 ounces every two months suffices me and my two friends quite well. Well... we dont have to buy any at least

oh, and people in california... I live here too, in southern cali, and just cause you have your med card does not mean it is legal. Federal law can still fuck you over. You just have a better chance of fighting it in court.

nah...I could care less if they believe me, I'm enjoying watching people blow fuses over it.

lol too many people care about pointless things.

Just grow and enjoy! You get an 8th, you a get pound, great.... just enjoy growing it and enjoy smoking it.

Hey Dav - Yeah, that's another thing I guess I will have to figure out is how to tell the female plants from the male plants. It does not seem to end all the stuff you need to know about growing this stuff.

Tree

good for you Blu - that is confidence Anyway I thank you for your help. It really helped me feel I could get a hang on growing.

Tree

theres no way you grew a pound per flant with some floros. even wet there is no way. maybe an ounce

CAP - if you are still following this, can you also tell me what "cfl's" means?

Tree

And the name of the thread again? Actually the name of thread is not very nice. Please make sure that you get more advice than from someone who is making crap up about growing weed instead of studying for their high school final exams. CFL = Compact fluorescent Lighting. Usually spiral bulbs that plug into regular sockets. Some are not spiral and the higher wattage require a larger socket (mogul base) and usually are unballasted, meaning the light is not complete, and needs to be screwed into a specific fixture which includes the ballast. Regular CFL's are available everywhere. If you are near a wal-mart they carry GE brand 42w bulbs (replaces 150 watt incandescent [normal bulbs]) and they are under $9 USD each. They are considered to be cool (heat wise) but I disagree! They work really well, but once you have enough watts, you are up to the same wattage as HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting and the energy not put into photons of light are emitted as heat. I know for a fact (personal experience) that 420 watts of CFL are HOTTER than 400w HPS with remote ballast. Less heat, more light. CFL's are cheaper only in the short run, but fun. Cfl's also come in different spectrums or colors. 2700K (kelvin, not the temp though) good for flower and emit light in the red end of the spectrum (the wal-mart bulbs) and 5500-6500K blue light for veg. I have found these more difficult to find in small wattage. Hardware stores sell the larger wattage 6500K cfls as security home lighting (require the fixture too!). There are lots of people who grow with these on RIU (roll it up)

Alot of what I have said is my opinion...please take it as such and get advice outside of this thread! Best growing to you.

Tree,
Feel free to pm me (private message) I also live in Oregon, and might be able to help you? I know of some 150w hps with self contained ballasts. The are very affordable, and I have had decent results with them.
I DO NOT know everything, but I might be able to help ya?

Hey HAY,

I admit I don't know a novice from the experienced. But I will give people the benefit of the doubt. It is the Christmas season anyway - a time to be lenient.

But maybe you could comment on one thing. First thanks for the excellent description about the lights. I do live about 1/2 mile from a Walmart.

I finally got around to checking out some of the websites that sell pot seeds and I think they really ask too much for them. I see it as price gouging. The lowest was $35 for 15 seeds. The more exotic strains ask $100, $200, on up for 15 seeds. Don't you think this is ridiculous? It certainly makes me consider just finiding a grower.

Hi Wrecked - I could not understand your post. Was it in response to my post or did it end up here accidentally?

I may not know the current jargon on this site and not quite get the message.

You can not grow a pound of marijuana per plant using flourescent lights.

Is that more clear for ya.
