Cause people read the bottles and don't know how to read the plants.Yup! I can't see myself ever going back to salt based nutrients. There's nothing wrong with them, but it's a lot easier to fuck up things with them.

I agree. What I meant is that you have to be more on your toes more when you use them. I like the more laid back approach, but I also understand why some people enjoy the faster paced and more involved growing styles.Cause people read the bottles and don't know how to read the plants.
That Santa cruz BD is a badass plant.I'm 100 percent positive if I ran the Santa Cruz in DWC with an 8 week veg, he'll even under my cob setups I could pull over 2 lbs all day , hell I would probably hit 3. That plant has amazing yield.
Not only that you don't need scissors to trim it cause the leaves are so skinny. The sugar leaves can be rubbed off the buds after it dries. Literally just kinda softly raking over them they fall away from the buds leaving big ass solid nuts of straight frost.That Santa cruz BD is a badass plant.
ran it for a few cycles and it definitely yields
I'm hitting 32 in a 4 x 4 under 600 watts of Diablo and under a Growcraft x6 as well. Never in my life did I think I would double my yield from my old 600 watt hps. Freaked me the fuck out. This is why I didn't get involved in the thread. Cause the guy may actually be hitting it.In 2 years of being in 2 5x5 tents, I can say that 2 lbs is tough to hit with out the right cultivar. Its possible, but you better be growing a fat yielding plant and have that shit dialed in hard. I Hit 1.5 with out much fuss.
Those some nice looking plants.
Thx...I really miss growing outdoors. Moved to the lower Washington coast, so now I'm an Indoor guy!

I know it don't look like it, and it really doesn't imo, but I just can't say for a fact it aint. The reason is I know these lights can do 2 pounds in a 4 x 4. At least for me and the new guy here from RIU @bk-og will also attest to this. He runs in an open area like H, but still gets the monster buds and yields from his china lights.
I'm talking medium yielding Heisen tester stuff. His old stuff as well. Like the BBC S1 I've been running for almost 2.5 years now. Was averaging 1.5 ounces per plant on the BBC with the 600 hps. Went to 3 per under the Diablo and x6.
Just took some fresh pics right now @ 10 weeks. Gonna pull soon.

That may be foxtails but I don't care at all...........................and either do the peeps that smoke it
Get some beans from GreenPoint or County Line if you want some good shit.The FB newbie would lose thier minds over this LOL.
My thing is about 5 years ago i stopped giving a shit about how much I yielded and quit weighting it all together. My goal was to have all the smoke i wanted from one cure to the next. I judged my grows on the totes it filled. My WWxBB yeild was monstrous and I had to get a second tote to house it. Proly one of if not my biggest harvest out of a 5x5 tent.
I filled 2 of these 3/4 full and over flowed into a 1 gallon jar. The thing is, its fucking WWxBB. After a year of GG4xGSC its very bottom shelf LOL. As soon as my current run is done, all this shit is going to dry sift tumbler. Dry sift season is almost here and I have several runs to do.

I'm keeping my eye out. Im actually intrested in starting breeding some seed for my own use. (part of why i joined). Just need to get some other things handled first. Im hoping that when that day comes the wonderful people here can help me out with picking out a couple of males to play around with. Got a couple of things to do with my room sitution first. Post harvest on my current run I should be getting out of the tents and will be looking here for some new genetics.Get some beans from GreenPoint or County Line if you want some good shit.
You may remember @J.James from County Line Genetice from trollitup. We were all over there for a bit. I started testing beans for him over there. Three years plus now running his gear and the only issues I have had was with a few testers (duh) but I have gone back and purchased everything that he has released to keep as a sealed pack for after I expend the tester beans.I'm keeping my eye out.

Oh I have been watching all your guy's grows and reading back through other threads. I'm about 500 pages deep into @Heisenbeans genetics thread.You may remember @J.James from County Line Genetice from trollitup. We were all over there for a bit.

The County Line Hashplant and the Homecoming Queen both have at least one pheno that I could handle as a "desert island" strain. But everything there is fire of one sort or another. Lots of variety in the stuff there. There may be a few things crossed with the same male, but you won't find packs of Everything x It's Brother x Cookies
Thanks for the kind words, brother! I'll be bringing some of that vertical goodness over here, hope you don't mind?Hey man, I remember you from RIU a few years back. Aren't you the one with the vertical grows?
I pretty much just posted in the outdoor grow section back then. But would dance around looking at the organic and indoor stuff.
Your indoor grows always drew my attention, hope you stick around.
Truth. I'm partial to a sativa dominant anyway, and they tend to be a bit less dense. But I guess that's what grinders are for, right?So many younger growers don't seem to be happy with just growing nice plants. For some reason they feel like growing is all about yield and THC %. IMO, there's a point density of nugs can get too high. I like dense nugs but not when they are like rocks.
This is important. People don't tend to appreciate process when it comes to growing nearly as much as I think they should.I've seen nothing but white ash for a year or so now, I have green leaf tips at harvest, and I think the plants are showing me the best of what they have to offer. My terps have been brighter, and I think longer lasting in the jar.
If you slam the plant with nutes to get a specific result, it logically follows that you'll be trying that same process and effecting the results the same on every strain. So whether you are growing blueberry cookies or chem gas, you are gonna taste your process in both. If you are a chef, all your dishes will tend to have your thumbprint on them. But you can just throw the same salt and pepper on two different steaks and then it's all about the quality of the meat.
It CAN be done; 5x5=25ft². I did it- once- on a 6x4=24ft² vertical panel.Ha all in fun.....well just for size reference. A couple plants that finished with a touch over 2lbs of solid bud.
Albeit they are outdoor so maybe not a fair comparison, just saying it takes a good size plant to produce 2lbs.
Maybe if you had a 5x5 filled to the brim a person might make it.

Hell ya. I've still got all my supplies for home brew. I did a lot of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale copies. I worked my way up to All-grain with the same yeast they use and it was damn close.This is important. People don't tend to appreciate process when it comes to growing nearly as much as I think they should.
The tech I've been working on- all of it, not just lights or vertical panels- is versatile enough to let growers put their personal stamp on the product. I think that's important, just like going to Wolfgang Puck's; you're not just going there for dinner, you're going to taste how HE does it.
Come to think of it, it's actually even more like brewing beer- soooooo many ways to do things that your choices become habits and those habits become something you can taste.
This kills me; most of the people using those bottles have no idea what's in them or how nutrients actually work. When I tell people that 'cal-mag' is actually mostly nitrogen, they think I'm nuts!Cause people read the bottles and don't know how to read the plants.
