Tahoe!!!!!!
Blue Larry!!!!!
PoWER!!!
Ortega!!!
The lou is gone almost ....along with the chem and others....
But i still have about a quad left......
Jst for personal smoke ..so people can give me feedback and what not....
I grow mainly for myself.... but seeing as im up to about an ounce a week regularly .....
Im gonna have to kick it up...
The new misssion ...Never running out of meds.....
So i thought maybe i should get some supper expensive new led light...
Or buy another 400hps or a 600......
However this is not my style ....
Im a minimalist ... and wil try to double my output ....
How can i do this u say ???
Adding lites will cause heat problems, amp breaker problems.... and ill need more a/c units.....
So i will simply separate my plants ...... keeping my 400 on almost 24hrs a day.....
I will have to move half the plants into a dark room ... while the others stay under the light....
You could say im rotating plants everyday.... so this will be allot of work no days off....
After week 2 flower....
This wont be easy ...I think my spacing is still okay at the moment.....
I want blue larry ... to practically haver its own 400.... and let the rest saty in the dark tent during the day// and then i will proceed to moving bl to the tent and bring the other 3 in at night too the light.....
This will give me ample light .... and get twice as much light to each plant....
And no light will be sacrificed.....
I will be worrrying about light leaks , ventallation, and stress from moving plants.....
These being new issues...and light exposure problems will dwindle...
My tactics may be very old fashion , plain watter (ro), low nutes.....
nothing special....
I will be going into this under the asssumption i will fail ....
But in the back of my head im very confident.....
This wont be easy....

Hahah!
So u think its a good idea or nay?????
Okay so im thinking maybe this is allot of work .... and has bad idea written all over it....
I guess truthfully i dont have much extra money to throw into this.....
But it wouldnt cost much more for another light....
Then again heat issue written all over it.....
so easily a new a/c unit ...but there goes another copule hundred and a couple more amps and costs .....
so theres not much i can do .... Seeing as i want to grow more and harvest monthly ...something will have to happen....
There just not enuff lght for all these lous......
-So i can either get another light.. separate roooms.... same time
- separte rooms opposite times 2 lights...no rotation
-2 lights Same room on at same time ..
-One light move plants two rooms
-one light move light ... two rooms ...no plant rotation
Im thinking two lghts one room ... one veg tent....
But im willing to try one light ....just for thrills....
Any coments would be appreciated.....

good idea cheezey man,
shouldn't be too much hard work with relatively small numbers but when its near chop time it could be hasslesome. still its got to be worth a shot to make more of that bud. those macro's look sick man.
interesting, youve gotten the ortega, i know a man in Oz that worked with it as a landrace strain over there. loved the stuff.

I have this image, like an Indianna Jones film, where the fire place swivvels round and a new fireplace appear. How cool would that be, like a floor that moved your plants into dark and light respectively!!! I think if you can work it it will be aweseom. Justs ties you to being a real HOME boy. But if your situation allows it, why not!

Might not have a good cut, or something else happened to it during the growth period. My Skywalker is a HUGE yielder, by far the biggest yielder of any OG strain I have seen. 3 - 4oz per 3/4 foot plant is typical. I have a friend who pulls as much as 5 oz's from skywalkers.
SFV is the SHIT, but usually a far less yielding strain than the skywalker.

Yeah i had problems with the skywalker....
Ive heard the same thing that skywalker is a great yielder...
I still think however the truest skywalker are low yileding ogs ..... but im sure 3 for 4 would be easily doable....

Why do you still think that?
You have heard from other people that it is a high yielder, I am also saying the same thing, and you admitted that you didn't grow it very well. Hehe.
Sounds like an open and shut case to me
I say try it again, it may just need some extra attention paid to it. Sometimes OG strains in general can be a bit more finicky than most.

Exactly skywalker is a real finicky one...
Very similar in growth structure too tahoe imo.....
LOL! You have no idea how much time i spent analyzing skywalker...
Its truly one of my favorite strains to buy at the shop......
My theory is that most true og's tend to have low yields....
Even tho sfv is the quintesential og.... and yields good...i hear...
I no doubt see from all my grows that the truest most og tasting buds come from low yielding plants.....
Id also mention that kush dominant ogs and og crosses will always outyield a true og.....
Ive always found skywalker to be more of a kushless og ...very uppy narcotic high....
Flavor wise also ..it lacks earthy kush aroma/taste.......
Probly one of the best representation of a pure og in my book....
Therefor i say it an average yielder....because its a truer og....
But thats just my opinion ....
Ps.
Id usually speak only from what i see first hand... not what someone tells me....
but nontheless ...dont get me wrong....
Ogs are low yielding ..not skywalker in particular ..is all i mean....
Its not a bad yielder.... but in comparrison to my abusive og that had similar problems...
It yielded way less....
Im sure i could make sky yield.... but id have to grow it again before i go making hasty statements
...lol

That Tahoe is bomb. It's a lot like the Skywalker, just has a lot more smell to it.
Question, do you top your OG plants? My Skywalkers have anywhere form 6 - 20 tops that's why i get good yields with it.
OG's are definitely low yielding in general. This Skywalker in my experience has just been the best in regards to yielding. But it takes extra attention to top it more often otherwise you get big stretches.
Also using Phosphorload or BushMaster stops the big stretch that happens when you flip into flower.
How was that Abusive OG? I actually just got a cut of that a month ago.

Abusive is nice ...
But its kush dominant....
More like an old classic kush....
Allot like some purp kush or purp og....
I hear theres a cut thats more og .....
But the classic old abusive og cut is more kushy......
I try not to top to often......i just veggem a lil earlier....
But your right ...topping would definately improve yield.....
....May have to start topping the ogs.....
But i tend to go for quality not quantitiy ...and that what i have....
This new grow i got going is now is more tailored for highh yield without sacrificing quality....
Good luck with your abusive....
And id like to see a pic of some of your sky's.... that cut is hard to get a hold of and is supper funky stinnky....
There is no mistaking it...Supper explosive bud growth ... very high bud to leaf ratio....
