Three a Light???

RM3. You need to take clones from the same seed to eliminate that potential variable.


What he is saying is one offspring (seed) might be a better, faster grower than the other :) Then again it may not be.

Only way to really know is to isolate variables.

Either way I think you're doing the right thing. Never stop experimenting. Just always make sure your experiments are as identical as possible or your conculsions could be incorrect :P

we agree, and we don't know each other, I've been doin this over 40 years and have written 2 books on the subject with more experiments than most growers even think about

I experiment constantly 8)

I only did this because I could, losing the yield of that plant does not effect me in a negative way. My intent as always is to help new growers not get bamboozled by marketing claims

Interesting topic there Rid. :bigjoint:

All I care to say about the technique as a whole is....

... it maters greatly the percentage of indica to sativa in the hybrid.
Everything is dependent on the above. ("everything" pertains to when, how much, which ones, where, and all)

Ya know I've been on this road before... so with that... Canon out. 8-)

Defoliation increases alot. Tested in scrog and sog. Will through up a journal on my currently BD grow. Fuck it. Ill buy this book for the community, upload it to pdf and test it.
As for 3 a light I assume per 1K hps. I have seen 3 a light with DE and high plant count scrogs.
Cobs is also doable.

Did you ever pick up that book? What are your thoughts. Is it basically what everyone here suspected?

If the 3 per light book was $60-100 I don't think we would even be talking about it. The fact that its $500 adds to its allure , exclusivity, and puts it outside the grasp of the masses.

Is 3 per light a very miss leading title? I say hell yes. Are we talking 1000w single ended HPS , or 1150w double ended gavita?
-will it be possible for a 4x4 or 5x5' grower with a single light to achieve 3 per. yes, no, maybe. Genetics would decide the answer.
-3 per light becomes much more easily obtainable with or without this book in a larger operation with multiple lights, over lapping spread, and eliminating wasted light to walkways.

I don't use 1000w lights. But If I were to extrapolate my 850w cob led setup, I would be closer to 4.17lbs per light. But that is in 32 sqft , not 16 or 25 sqft. So in that way, my garden is much lower in production in terms of grams or lbs per foot of grow space.

This right here..they'll get the :dunce: that thinks they are the awesome grower because they bought a special book. Kinda like Weight Watchers. .only :dunce: pay a premium to get told how to eat right and exercise.

I like to remove lower growth but do it in stages. And plants grow faster when you top them a lot like my mother plants. On peach trees they remove every other peach early on so the remaining peaches get a lot bigger. I prune my plants like a tree and some strains get too bushy and need air flow and light, but I do this in stages so the plant is never stressed. I have a pure indica hash plant that grows slow as shit unless you start taking clones off it.

I just did this method with my blackberry but i couldnt bring myself to doing it that drastically. So i guess im not really using the method fully but i def saw better stretching so far and it appears to be growing more fierce than it was before removing most of the fans. I could neverremove them all though its just painful in appearance...poor babies...

Ive seen outdoor plants get ate down to nothing too though and bounce back to Slaughter the competition in yield... who knows though, never did a side by side with clones. With seed i just dont agree with that, imo the other one appeared to be growing bushier and tighter from the start. I observe the smallest details though so i coild be over thinking it lol.

It's a panic response, triggers it to go into "Bast" mode same as trees do, knew a guy worked at sandringham on the queen's apple tree's, he used to get a perverse pleasure by almost "Ring Barking" to increase the yeild, it's a common practice in orchards. so massive defoliation is pretty similar, looks and feels 'orrid when you do it
Massive Guilt trip inducing too.
RM3's book? where?, how much?.....Speak up old man i got bad eyesight 8-)
