Lol, gambler, first hempy, then flood and drain, now big trees. You are fickle, man, what next, aeroponics with a reptile light? j/k. This thread is like a summit conference right now. Lots of great info. M Blaze, I'm gonna have to learn some of your knot work; I've got plants that have vegged to 4 feet and I can't flower them for another 4 weeks; they will need much support!

very nice, man. thanks for the info. i ain't trying to hate or such - i'm just trying to understand the possiblities. this guys setup sounds very legit. that breaks down to about 1350 watts per plant... which deffinitely makes it easier to see how he's pulling 3 lbs. per plant ... especially w/the extra lumens produced by 600's over 1000's.

and how about that monster of yours... do you have to use stakes or tie things up ever? do you have that one under a 1000w hps by itself? two 600's? what was the total veg. time after the 10-14 days of clone time on that girl? sorry to be a pest... i will get around to catching up on ur journal.

i'll have to spend some time daydreaming about a crop of giants...

(with gypsy's permision, of course )

the grass is always greener on the other side.

i'm gonna keep trying stuff until i get it right. If i ever pull a good deal more than 6 lbs... then maybe i'll stick to the same setup for awhile. so far i'm pretty happy with the ebb 'n flow. reptile light? ya... i've thought about it.

Get yourself a roll of those twist ties and that makes the tying so much easier

 

[GypsyBush]

A couple of days of 12/12 and we get to see some action...

I guess they turn quick after a year in veg...

Lots of hairs popping out everywhere...

[greenfirekilla420]

LOL. I use that stuff all the time in my outdoor garden. with the little built in clippy thing. very useful stuff.

 

[shnkrmn]

Your room always looks so damn tidy. It's a great example. The plants look fabulous.

 

[bigjesse1922]

Very impressive my friend!

Quite excited for this one!

Gypsy yours is the best, Can you share some of you genus and help me please? Are these 4 plants going to be to crowded to flower in this tub in 4 weeks, They are clones 4 weeks from when the roots showed and put in the 30 gal tub, my hps's are working on there moms right now for 4 more weeks, or should i put them in 5 gal bubble buckets, that are ready to use right now for the remainder of there lives, THANK YOU SO MUCH

 

[GypsyBush]

If you mean to veg these for 4 more weeks then flower them... they will be too crowded..

And I believe a 5 gallon bucket is too small for a stable res...

But this is all outside of my realm...

As DG put it best, I know of midget plants.. and now I am learning about trees...

But I have never grown bushes... so I cannot tell you from experience...

But it looks like a shade farm to me..

 

[DaGambler]

i'd smoke a midget

don't get me wrong bro... the only thing i'm interested in is gram per kilowat hour. ur grow style is very solid in that department. only reason i'm not trying it is becuzz the sheer numbers would be a limiting factor for me.

Thankx GB, it is getting very shady at the bottom, each plant would have her own bucket and air pump, and i have room to spread them out away from each other and i have a 400 MH to add to the room its a 6ft by 7ft 1/2 bath, and if its not to late im wanting to try tying branches like you do, on one of them,as an experiment

Does this mean your keeping track of every hour your lights are on for every light of every variety totaled or seperate for MH, HPS,CFL, floro, i dont know what your are using?

 

[o= High= o]

I Know what ur using now, im looking at your journal, Thats SWEEEET Man!

Gram Per Killowat Hour just figures in the total number of hours ON (from start to finish) in the flower room. SeeMoreBuds has some very nice videos which show why 'Midgets' are actually 'Clone Kings' in that they provide the best gram-per-watt and killowat hour ratio.

i believe in the second video he has 300 clones in a 4' by 6' area and pulls 6 lbs. (Total time 74 days in the flower room after 7? days under flouro's. 54 days total flower 12/12. 100 of the plants did not survive. But you can't beat the GPW or the GPKH. 2400 watts of light.)

Hey DG You said you topped your clones, Well mine grow like this and i dont know where to top or if i need to. This is how they grow.

 

[DaGambler]

ur plants look great considering they've only been under flouro's. all i could suggest would be to lop off the bottom branches for your next clone crop and switch to 12/12 under whatever (all the) lights you have available... as they are probably big enough, at that size, to begin flowering.

I have a 400 and a 250w HPS both in DIY cool tubes in a room thats 6ft by 7ft would you also use a 250w MH in there to

as shown by the preceding video... you could easily use up to 2400 watts of light in a space that size. the more the merrier

GypsyBush has a very nice journal layed out here, as do many other persons on RIU. If you follow even a single journal from start to finish ... most of your questions woud probably be answered.

As has been said in the past... most grow styles can be effective, its when people try to mix and match different techniques that they can run into trouble. 2 chefs in the same kitchen.
