I was posting this earlier, another riu member found what i thought was long lost.. was a fun cfl grow, you can see the different sativas. You may not have the eye for it yet and not the best shot, but there are 3 different mexican sativas in there. Bottom left has a totem pole structure, top middle has a xmas tree structure, besides leafs and buds.

Anyway i suppose im just talking

It's cool, I'm enjoying learning something. I'm usually up all night reading anyway... I appreciate it
I have a couple sativas, green crack, ghost train haze, jack herer (freebie), white widow (freebie), and the others are hybrids.

I'm a bigger fan of the sativas myself. The wife also. I wanted to get super silver haze, but the breeders were meh, aND none were feminized. I wanted the feminized seeds just a little less risk I suppose.

What is everyones feelings on nutes? I was gonna go fox farm, now looking at advanced nutrients.

If you want to know my setup ask..your attitude is not very becoming

And your right, im im texas, completely illegal.

I rotate crops, lights stay on 24/7. .7-1.5gpw is easy enough. This means roughly 1000grams per harvest which would be every 2 months, running 24/7 means 2 harvests, so effectively 1000grams per month-500 every 2 weeks. Thats roughly a lb, also equal to hint half lb a week.
That equals.... 2lbs a month as i said, divide 60 by 2 and you ave 30k...divided by 4 houses averages about 7.... obviously theres a range, its 5-8 lights per house. Different floor plan etc..

I dont expect anyone to take my word for anything.. bottom line is ive proved myself many times, in pharmacy and in growing..

Smallest op gives me $14.5k a month profit too.. do you have anything to say about that? Or that i do this with landrace sativas and sell at the same price point as brick weed?

Now, i know you probly dont know me but most everyone on this forum does. So go pretend to be an expert elsewhere..if one can even call it that. This is why i rarely come in the growing section

It's not that it seems like you're lying. You obviously know more about this than I do. You're going to have to quote me on where I said I was an expert or whatever, I don't claim to be. So iirc you run flip-flop power. Also you are not getting 8 Oz per light you are getting 8 Oz per ballast, am I right? That is a difference there. So if all grows were equal, thats 7,500 watts x 2 bulbs/ ballast. Or 15 1000 watters, 7 on at one time and another 8 on at the others. Altogether gets you maybe, if you're lucky, 60 pounds a pull. I see now how that works, but there is still a lot to be said on how you are able to get away with this in Texas and stay active on RIU.

As for how do I feel about you pulling in probably 75K a month in profits? Well, since that's not what I make, I think that makes you a piece of shit. I mean I dont know. Why should I care what you make? How were you able to get so many properties, electricity setup in the areas and still stay stealth makes no sense to me. I mean you are making the amount of money you have to launder. You'd have to hire someone just to help trim. I am not in it for the profit. I do it because it's a nice hobby and because I can help people who need it. Sooner or later you will maybe get caught, and there maybe people on here that know you better than I do and think that that would really hurt the community but I would be the one laughing and saying the asshole deserved it.

But how does this make you feel: I'm only 21 and my grow can produce 12-15 LB every harvest. And be totally protected by state law.

And, for the record, I'm sure that the ideas that I provided would result in better results than your idea in the application. So expert or no expert is no matter.

Bla, I'm just looking for advise, not a pissing match. All I want is the best buds I can grow. Everyone here knows more than me... except maybe the troll asking about 9 and 10 watt cfl... hope he wasn't serious

Both qwiz and i are sorry to have hijacked your thread. I'm sure the information you were looking for is in the thread, now you just have to decide which way to go.

All good... no problem. I can completely understand yall put a ton of work, thought, and heart in gaining as much knowledge as yas can. I'm just sitting here trying to get the most out of it. But when two knowledgeable people have different views, butting heads is gonna happen.

Do you own the house or rent? Got a basement or crawl space you can draw intake air from? It's usually cooler and more consistent temp all year. Go get a 6" hole saw, or jig saw, and start cutting some holes. make sure to use a filter on it to keep bugs etc out. get a 600w digi. Running it in a 2x4 space wouldn't be an issue if it was vented, just dump it into your house, have a second fan pulling room air out from a different intake and you would probably be golden.

There is a basement. A tiny super creepy and wet one. Mostly crawl space, and mostly dirt floor...

that is an excellent idea though. It is quite a bit cooler down there. And that would be an excellent place to grab and dump air... but like you said, the bugs could be a potential issue. I'd think a fine enough screen would fix that. I have read of the little critters that can get on plants being extremely small. Just trying to look at all angles... maybe pull air from inside and dump outside. My fear would be warming up the entire area from exaust.

advanced nuts are great for beginners, a bit pricey but if you follow the chart its hard to mess up. if you go with sensi A & B your ppms are going to read higher then what they should be for drain to waist, but the guy on their phone says its all good cuz of some mumbo jumbo
i run general hydro and get great results. they are cheap enuf 4 me and use 1/2 as much as A.N.

Looks like the citrus strain I am growing from clone. It is 75% sativa, smells like lime/pineapple and it is great indoors. God help you if your growing outdoors and the temp. drops down into the dew point range... also when harvesting the buds they have to be in a room with a dehumidifier. Actually attracts fruit flies ...a early warning device for fungus. I read somewhere that they don't feed on the fruit itself but on yeast. Have you had the same problems with the citrus sativas you grow or is it that 25% indica?
