7 plants and veged I don't know til they were about a foot tall but I topped them all about 6 time to bush them all out the cob side beat the pants off the hps side
That's on average 8 ounces a plant !!! And you only vegged them to be a foot tall.
That's mental the more I think of it.

Haven' a clue !
But Jacksparrow claims he has done it.

sorry dude was just a brain fart question not waveing the finger at you or owt...


also not saying it can`t be done but any auto grower i`ve known pulls 2 runs for every one of my photoperiods.. and never more than 120g dry weight.. they just make up the numbers with the double runs...

Ae, omce I crop with the cobs ill sort u a cob taster.

sound, i`ve smoked cfl grown weed, and hpsnever led, be intresting to see the difference, or smoke it whatever hahahaha

I never grow auto I don't like the lack of control

I spurt in tiny pots don't know the size but a hand full of medium is about it

Pot XL auto pots because im a lazy cunt and could be arsed watering I have a big Res 240litre connected to 8 25 litre pots

I'm a Jew so I'm mix local peat moss Coco and perlite with clay balls at the bottom of the pot

Ppms start at 700 and go up to 1400,ish not including getting stoned and throwing in two tablespoons of Epsom salts once a month plants love mag and sulfur

Recover time a couple of days and top again be mean to them along with pinching and bending. Water ever day in veg bottom feeding fill drip trays

Cobs make sense heavy nugs but your best scroging I have two levels of nets any thing below the first net gets stripped

Hps was stickyer to trim but I can't tell the difference in the smoke

Cobs run way cooler I have a hps there for heat !

They were a foot tall before flip so they double or triple in height in flower I give them a week in then the big pots to adjust then flip
The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits

Cobs buds are easier to trim better stacking

I'm not here to brag I'm here to help I spent year fucking up I don't want other people to fuck up and waste money like I did

I didn't mean to come across in saying I thought you were bragging bro.

I'm just amazed at that yield. I've been growing since 2007 and I can barely manage and ounce per plant using a 400w in soil.

You really got it down to a fine art !

Can I pick your brain for advice ?

Lassies are 4th week in flower. All was going well til I noticed the leaves tonight.

The fan leaves are turning pale and clawing in. The leaf stem on them are turning reddish purple.
The only hassle I see is that dark temps hit 12c which I'm working to fix.
Could it be a nute deficiency of some kind ?

Congrats once again bro on a great yield. I' be happy with a 1/4 of that !!!

lad growing like that, tidy set-up straight up about tips and tricks and hauls like that.... brag like a mother fucker all you like hahahahaha...

auto pots are a fine setup but i need to get out of the house and watering is a perfect excuse...

hahaha love the training methods, and stripping the bottoms, within reason it makes more sense than loads of small buds which are always way behind and a pain in the arse to trim up...

Looks like one of two things either girl are hungry and u need to up your feeds or u way over feed them what nutes are u using ?

Don't think it's the cold they would just stop growing in low temps or straight up die!

I would suggest a heavy feeding first then plain water feed then feed again in soil

Super thrive save my ass all the time I love the stuff but it's strong so be careful

Or pull all the shite looking lower leaves and see what happens

Autos or photoperiod?

Big pot or small ? Could be root bound.

I'm using bio bloom.
I give each plant 1 litre of water followed up by 2ml of Bio bloom and 0.5ml of Bio grow in another litre of water.

I probably do this every 3 to 4 days.

Seems a bit low right?

I over fed plants before and got savage salt built up and ended up losing the cop.
I have the fear if over feeding them.

Plants are photo fem.
The pots are fairly big. Not sure of litre but they are big orange buckets.

cut the bio grow out you don`t need it, has it spread up the plant, one side or just the bottom.....

Mainly the large bottom fan leaves.
But since I lst 'd them a few lower branches that are the same height as the rest of the plant are turning pale too.

I thought you need bio bloom for the whole grow cycle ? Its only 0.5ml per 2litres

I gave them a dash of pk13/14 in 2nd week of flower.
All i give them is 0.5ml of grow and 2ml of bloom per 2 litres of water.

Maybe I'm under feeding them?
Should I give them 4 to 5ml per litre at this stage?
The fear I have is salt built up or nute lock.

How long are they into flower @Naes? Do you have the biobizz feeding schedule? Attached if not. I think you might be underfeeding by the sounds of it. I used to follow the schedule fairly closely from about week 3 in the biobizz light soil, starting nutes at 1/4 strength, next feed half strength, next 3/4 and full strength by the 4th feeding. But about half way through flower I'd start dialling the grow back at a similar place until 1/4 strength, then drop it altogether. I did a grow with the full strength grow schedule once, the smoke turned out fine but the leaves at harvest were really really dark green, so N tox probably affected the yield.

I also feed 2L per plant but I've found they respond better to having 2 x 1L feeds/waters per week instead of 2L. Typically I feed every 3-4 days now, going by weight of the pot.

Ah, just saw your feeding schedule - definitely underfeeding them. Next feed, give them 3mls Bloom and 1ml Grow per litre in the same bottle, instead of grow in 1 bottle and bloom in another. You're possibly flushing out some bloom when you're adding the second litre of water with grow. See how they respond. Personally I would give them 1L with that solution and repeat in a few days.
