lol your blaggin my head few plants sorry u cant get 7-8 oz per plant mayeb 11 or 12? thats a few now stop blaggin my head taking advantage of my vunreble mind

lmao

SILLLY?

it doesn't work that way mate, if you were to get 7oz a plant the most you would get under a 600w hps would be 4 plants and even then you'd be lucky to get 7oz a peice working out at 28oz per light which really isn't the norm, most people under a 600 aim for about the 20oz mark give or take a couple of oz, so even if you were able to pull above average numbers like that you'd still be looking at a minimum of 3to4 lights and even then most growers who are good at what they do still wouldn't hit the 90oz mark with 3lights and even with 4 lights it would still take a seasoned grower to pull those numbers working out at 22.5 oz a light, which definitely wouldn't be percy. i know your still new to this but give it some time and you'll see for yourself mate it takes the likes of Heath robinson and his vert tube grows to pull monster numbers like that, if ya don't believe me do some research on the guy and his grows and then you will see what it takes to pull those above average numbers.
if any1 tells you different you want to ask for proof otherwise just assume they're chatting shit or simply weighing their shit wet.
their are also lots of grow journals on here with people growing indoors under a single light with all the time n the world that are very good growers that don't get close to those numbers and they only have to focuse on 1lights worth, when you start adding more lights the work needed multiplies the same aswell and the odds of hitting the higher numbers decreases

here's a couple of good reads to show you what i mean ukrg https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/429438-dyna-gro-vs-advanced-nutrients.html this ia a very good grower that pulls 20oz on average and he has his grow dialled in.
and Heaths flooded vertical flooded tube https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html this is the type of work needed to pull massive numbers but it also comes with a very high plant count. there's some good reading there mate

another Heath robinson grow with critical mass that the normal person just isn't going to achieve without atleast a few years practice https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/101347-critical-mass-tree-grow-x.html. i'm only putting these up so you can see what it takes to pull the numbers that you were talking about. and this guy truly is a master of his craft and puts the rest of us to shame

Is that an aquafarm he uses or dwc?? All it takes about is how many 600's lol

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

not taking anything away from heath, he's a grand master but that critical grow was around a gram a watt which is achievable by most of us with a bit of effort. and with a big yielder like critical it should be relatively easy to achieve. impressive on the grand scale though none the less. there's been plenty of guys on here over the few years ive been around that have smashed the granny out of a gram a watt.

there was an ozzy guy called mammath who grew one plant under a 600 and consistently hit over 2gpw (aquafarm style grow) tho some how he managed to threaten RIU and got his journo removed for legal reasons. only user ever to manage it i know of.

Rasclot's sage grow smashed the fuck out of 1 gram per watt.

i believe it's a hybrid system he made himself mate if memory serves me right he classes it as shallow water culture it's like a dwc but it's a container inside another container type system, he has pictures of it somewhere in an old thread regarding dwc that's on here somewhere, i don't have a link for it though sorry mate that 1 will require some digging

Was that with a lot of veg Don? Most av pulled is 0.75g p/w. GHS trainwreck with 3 weeks veg in an aquafarm. Aiming higher nxt time round, this ones been a bit of a disappointment

alright don how's things mate? i only put the critical grow up to show him what it takes to pull good numbers, i should have wrote about the big numbers in the post before rather than that 1 i think it took it out of text a little i was refering to his big1's lol

Will try have a look for it. I put an airstone into the res of my aquafarm on my 12/12, the roots that ended up in the res loved it lol, is that the same kinda thing he's done do you know?

 

[W Dragon]

it may have been something similar mate i'm not too sure to be honest it was a while back when i saw it but from what i took away from it he had seperate rez's setup up with float valves working on a recirc system that kept the water level low in the bottom container, which was being top fed (dripper or line?) i don't know if he was using air stones in the bottom container or if the recirculating was what kept his o2 high, sorry mate it was sometime ago

No probs mate, cheers for the info. Will have a dig, c what I can find....

 

[W Dragon]

if you click on the critical mass link mate and scroll down a few pics you can see the top of 1 of his pots and it defo looks like there's bubbles in it

 

[gaztoth]

alright lads hows everyone

it was about 2 weeks 3 tops. a lot of training and topping in the very early stages usually went with 6-8 main colas. don't be disappointing with .75 man thats a good ratio. i generally hit about .8 it's best not to worry about it really. so long as your plants healthy and getting what it needs youll hit the plants natural potential.

alreet dragon fella, been a while. i'm good ta, touch of manflu but otherwise sound. hows tricks down the west side?

you've got me trying to think of the other fella who grew nothing but trees like that hanging the bulbs bare and vertical. fuck what was his name. might have been big tomato grower i think.

Could be bubbles or the drips from the root ball lol... It may be something like his aquafarms run off a main res or something, that would keep the water level lower in the individual res's.... God knows, lookin for anyway to increase the yield in ma farm without a 4-6 week veg

Any of u guys heard on the news about the change in drug laws? They reckon if ur caught with 5kg of weed, 20 pills or 5g of coke ur only likely to get a community service, sounds good! Time we all started growin bigger I think!
