Lol yes, my apologies... I mean .8g/watt.

I would say the only real "grief" is the initial setup. Also 97% is highly optimistic. Materials don't even reflect 97% alone. Then, you have to take into account the angles of the reflector, Many reflect a good portion of the lighting directly back at the bulb (probably about 5-10% gets angled...

There is still the fact that with a regular grow you use only 1/3 of the lighting(120 degrees)... with about 1/3 reflected and the other 1/3 wasted or reflected. A Colosseum still uses nearly 100% without being reduced by reflection, that is where it's value becomes apparent. Regardless, your...

Humans have a natural circadian rhythm of 25 hours... so even though the earth spins in 24 hours we naturally want it to spin in 25. There is nothing to say giving the plants a "day" of more than 24 hours would bother them.

Duality, you'll be lucky to yield 2 oz. 12 or 16 oz cups are WAY too small. They'll have no root room and be maxed out in height before 4th week and then have no room to grow to give buds. Trust me, I've tried to veg clones in them, they stop growing by the 3rd week. When I would use 3 liter...

An AC or Electric Heater use that much in a month... and the usage cycle could be explained for an automatic timer set for when people are home. I would use a 10,000BTU portable A/C maybe 8 hours a day on average and it would push up my power bill by about 400kwh. My electric heater (maybe...

Svchop889... you basically just repeated what I said. Smart one aren't you?

Yes and no... the main buds are smaller but the other buds are bigger, and it lets you get more buds closer to the light so in the end your yield is greater. Also, supercropping isn't topping, it's bending the tips of the branches (kinda bending them into an L shape, topping is completely...

The cycle begins on monday at 6am.... the plant gets 12 hours of darkness 5x during the week... it ends on saturday at 6pm... and begins again on sunday at 6am... it doesn't shock the plant because there is no difference. You're forgetting that at 6pm on saturday night begins and it ends at 6am...

All depends on your tastes... can easily supercrop 2 weeks into veg and do it about every other week to keep the plant very bushy and most of the budsites at the same lvl. The last time you want to do it is a week before flowering, just to be safe... though I've heard of people doing it 1-2...

Yeah... use the problems forum?

Personally, I use isopropyl... it's already mildly poisonous so they don't intentionally add any methanol or other junk to it. It should be just isopropyl and water. Also, in order to go blind from Isopropyl you'd need at least a few grams of it (look it up)... Which means unless you intend...

You could always alter the light cycle to 16/12 to give the plant more daylight and energy in the beginning and during the two growth spurts (week 2 and 5 usually). During regular budding leave it at a simple 12/12. During the last 2 weeks when the plant focuses on maximizing resin running 12/16...

Light movers provide lighting to all parts of the plant due to the light's position moving. Colosseums use all of the light from the bulb, rather than having to reflect half of it. Colosseum > light mover. That's my opinion at least, you'd have to ask someone who's used both, but from what I...

That 400 watt light can reach half a pound... that's only about .6g/watt. However, a pound would require some damn good growing on your part, it's nearly impossible to reach 1.2g/watt especially with only 1 plant. You will have to supercrop/LST/Scrog it so that the top is a wide surface... and...

"Supposedly" mirrors reflect only about 30% of the light, people prefer to use white paint which gets around 60%... personally I think mirrors would reflect more, but that's what the rumor/myth says. Whether it is true or not, you'd have to ask someone who really has used a light meter to...

That was a pretty dumb question... that thing is the exact same thing as a Colosseum grow... only instead of growing on all 4 sides, it grows on 2 sides and the top and bottom... it's the exact same thing but tilted on its side. Colosseum's are better because you can use any method you'd like...

Colloseum growers usually get 1g/watt consistently... sometimes they get up to 1.4g/watt(possibly more, but I've never heard of anyone claiming more). The plants are done as a SoG(in this case a Wall of Green). plants only grow out about 1ft to 1 1/2ft from the shelves. If during flowering the...
