Have any of you DIY COB Growers finished a crop under 1000W DE HPS? - POLL

[Yodaweed]

its probably a difference in strain, rather than a difference in lighting.

Light intensity directly effects bud density, as does genetics.

this made me lmao so hard,done,finished,just ask rm3 because he has all the answers. your here to troll,you need to take your troll game to the next level because all im seeing is the same old one liners from you.and im not gunna bash your t5 pics because for what your using the plants look good but can you please drop the "im the best" attitude.

Never said I was the best,,,,, never

I have said I'll put my smoke up against any ,,,,, that I've said a lot

and really don't have an attitude about it, have always believed to each his own

 

[PurpleBuz]

No i am just waiting to see this grow op that you claim your saving 100's month ?? that is a pretty big claim must be lots of wattage ???

do you know how to read ? I said ~ 100/month.

Some growers even use fluroescent grow lights such as the T5 successfully to flower their plants (if the plants are kept short/small enough through growth control methods).

In general, I recommend changing to stronger grow lights for the flowering stage. Unless you keep your plants very small, they will need more light to produce buds than a fluorescent light can usually produce. If you're in a dire situation where your plants have grown too big and you can't afford to get a different type of light, you can supplement your fluorescent tubes with additional light, for example you could supplement their light with a few CFL(compact fluorescent light) bulbs wherever you notice any "shadowy" areas. This is only a minor fix - the real fix is to grow very short plants or upgrade to a bigger light for the flowering stage.

The biggest problem with fluorescent tubing is that the light that they give off is only useful for about a foot or so.

Any part of the plant that is further away then 1-2 feet from the fluorescent grow lights is not getting an optimum amount of light, especially in the flowering stage when plants need a lot of light to produce buds.

Yoda you keep talking Fluffy stuff can i ask how come your plant is so fluffy i mean if you look at the leafs must be on the back end of flowering are you saying LED does not make Fluffy buds ?? cause sure we can scour the net and find a whole lot of led grown LARF

That plant wasn't finished, it turned into a rock hard bud. Look at the finished picture.

Oh, if it's on the web in a pot forum it must be gospel LOL

Others say it too, CFL and T5 is considered Starter lighting for beginners.

And @RM3 is a rank beginner who has nothing to contribute.
This thread is full of dildos.

600 watt Cob grow were he only harvested 860 grams

Only harvested 1.43 grams per watt, yeah, huge loser.
He got 1.895 pounds from 600 Watts. Do you pull near two pounds with a single 600W HPS? Anyone? Didn't think so.
What were you trying to say? It seems like you proved yourself wrong, to me. "COBs are pretty badass," is what you meant to type.

You fight the truth hard my friend, the dark side I sense in you.

there is no point in comparing pics like this cause strains are different, growers are different and growing methods are different.
way too many variables to be able to point at the light being the cause.

that is not rock hard bud sir not even close

 

[RM3]

Not fightin at all, merely killin a boring afternoon

 

[Michael Huntherz]

I got something rock hard right here, about half of you can suck it and see.

 

[RM3]

funny, I have never been told my done buds were fluffy ?

Actually if you really want to get down to it there buddy best i ever done with HID 2000 watts 76 plants 7 .3/4 pound lets do the math 3518 dry grams 2000 watts yup i do not have pics here but journal was on RIU back in 2012 i think but hey its all about the weed man since being investigated i lowered my plant count you know having like 2500 plants is life in jail those days are long gone so now do way smaller grows 12 plant 8 pound harvests good enough right last pic 2 week old clones that are in 5 gallon

PS that is 1.75

 

[Michael Huntherz]

@RM3 getting .85 grams per watt of pure fire like the pic above is fine with me too, if you're OK and your customers/patients are ok, then ignore @Yodaweed, keep using the T5, fuck these clowns. I'mma grow with my crazy hybrid beginner lighting system again because I don't sell a gram of weed and I'm unemployed right now. I can make more money in tech than I could in cannabis right now, and it is slightly less annoying to deal with computer nerds than overzealous idiots in the Canna-biz. Half of present company excluded.

I give so many fucks what you've done.
I said 600W, the answer is no.

Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

Its alright buddy. You COULD spend the doe for 48" LED t5 replacements. Theyre not as kick ass as cobs, but youd get A LOT more lumens snd ppfd.

I said 600W, the answer is no.

lets see here what these 2 plants will harvest in 2.5 weeks time they started 2 weeks in 150 watt HID then 2 weeks with 600 then flip 18 gallon wanna bet i do better then 1.5 GPW we will see i guess no till i will not be afraid to post results and i will with not just saying what i did but like this you know half pound baggies lol there beasts 1 liter sized stalks so couple weeks away and again only 2 plants
