I grew about 30 quarts (aprox. 30 oz, never weighed it) in a 4-1/2 x 8 tent of Barney's Farm LSD. 20 plants. 2 x 600w HID (MH/veg...HPS/flower) aeroponinic in 4 x 4-3/4" vinyl fence posts, scrogged, Fox Farm nutes, A/C, lights in air cooled hoods Grew 1 plant in dirt from seed for a month/6 weeks for cuttings, then rooted them in an aeroponic cloner I made from a tote. I think I vegged 5 weeks, then 2 months flower. In retrospect, I think I overcrowded them. The LSD seems to have no "couch lock" properties to speak of, but you get a good "spacey" high. Made several mistakes along the way, I think a more experienced grower would have done better. I think a lb. is entirely possible. Just don't leave the pump turned off for a whole day. Really knocked the s__t out of the plants, but they all recovered in 2 hours. Thought I killed them.

I don't think BF LSD would be a good choice for pain relief. Lots of THC, but almost no CBD

I like my high energetic

Well, Barney's Farm LSD is certainly that. It WILL NOT help you sleep.

I guess not....nice job! I get plants 34 cm across by the 2nd week post germ, most being sativa dom too, witness my Haze X C99 cross.
Week Two
What a difference a week makes? Two weeks after the faves popped the soil's surface, thought I'd take a pic. The largest (and first germed) faves have spreads of up to 13.25"/34cm... with the smallest fave (and last one to germ) about 5"/13cm across. The smallest is in the foreground holding the Chills hemp papers and the larger ones to the left.
Week Three
It's about time to go 12/12, especially with the C99 X Haze as this cross has long internodes and will surely end up like trees. They are turning out very sativa dominant.
Thai-tanic, C99 X Peak19 and P19 X Haze are very well behaved, having beautiful profiles. The plant in the left foreground (Haze X Peak19) is now 20" (51cm) across, the late germing kid (Haze X C99), sitting on a high chair in the foreground, is 8" (20cm) across.
Plants are very healthy requiring watering twice a day with the exception of the smallest plants. Side panels have had to be expanded 3 times since the last shot as the garden is expanding rapidly.
All plants are doing extremely well in the Spin-Out treated pots. In fact, the only plant that is pouting is the one in the untreated pot.
Photo is a little dark...a wine bottle is in the foreground for reference.

The spin out is just the copper paint stuff, no? Can it be used in a hydroponic setting?

Ever heard of osmunda fiber? Great medium, especially if you're heavy handed on the water.

Why?
you don't have a clue!!! my proof is in everything you post.

@UB: You had me at Haze x C99 
Is that of a run you currently got going? Are those all fem or do you still need to remove males? Just curious because it's so full. I like it full myself, but that does require me to prune a little (shoots not just leaves). To put that in the veg rate perspective, with my first hydro run people in dutch forums said I switched to 12/12 3 weeks too late, while 3 weeks earlier they were still seeds.
Most of the hydroponic and hydroculture systems in this forum and other cannabis forums aren't very good examples, so many skinny lanky stretchy plants... I've been looking a lot at our pro greenhouses and haven't found anyone growing in "DWC" with airstones yet and no true aero either (that's for in the desert or in space). Hydroponics/mediumless it's all NFT, and some DFT (deep flow), hydro culture is usually rockwool or mapito slabs. Best topics in the hydro forum here are many years old and buried below a huge pile of nonsense.
It's a common surprise people experience when switching from soil to hydro; the fast veg rates. That is probably more because it's easier to veg fast on hydro than it is on soil than hydro factually being faster. I'd love to see you do a hydro run, I think you'd like it. Challenge is to prevent them from getting too dark green instead of preventing premature yellowing.
Wanted to see how low I could go, this is a 480 ppm run (0.5 scale, so less than 1EC), Cannalope Haze (which supposedly is C99)
Feb 20, just moved from small DWC boxes (under 3x18watt T8 ) and topped.
Feb 24, fully recovered from transplant and about to take off
27 Feb (3days and 2 hours after previous pic, replaced top right with a backup clone) Switched to 12/12 around this day.
March 4: sexed
March 14 (hempy test buckets removed, tubes moved to the front to cover everything with 6 instead of 9 plants) flowering:
4x4' space, door is a little over 2' wide so there's a lot more left around the corner.
My system is a lot more simple than it may seem. Essentially it's just a water pump pushing a nutrient solution through the tubes which are dammed at the end to create a continues flow of water of a couple of inches deep. Wires are from monitoring and chiller and pump. I add water+nutes to a single nutrient reservoir once every two days or so (preference, could do it weekly). No h202, no 'bennies', no tea, no root stims, no bleach, nothing except base nutrients (H&G Hydro AB and some GHE Bloom to modify the ratio slightly during flowering). And while those are overpriced cannabis specific nutrients, I spend less than $20 per run and that includes PH- and drip clean (prevents salt built up in lines, pump etc) making that a non-issue.

berry bomb. I just ordered from the single seed supposedly has 20-22% thc content with a med-high yield

No can't say I have. A quick search show it's popular amongst orchid growers.
I'm only using the coco because I needed something with separate containers (selecting plants out of the pool) and it allows me to use the nutrient solution from my recirculating system. I prefer medium-less over anything else. Besides the only system in which ph and ppm can be accurately measures (plus saving up for a NPK photometer) it's just so convenient. I can clean up and have new plants in my closet in less than an hour.
