Didn't you say that last weekend?

pretty sure i didn't ... i didn't log in for about a week. earlier this week, i indicated i'd post today or this weekend. i question whether some of you smoke cannabis at all -- some of you seem lame af. why get so bent out of shape? be competitive, be constructive, but why be lame?

I wanted to go back and check before I posted that but...its now 14 pages soooo. You do have some moments where you seem a bit unfettered tho. The mask could be cracking. Idk man just what I noticed.

All good! Slight overreaction.... I want to get better -- the sooner I can post and get feedback, the better. But people have a tendency to get distracted by red herrings/things that stick out but don't matter, so I'm going to do some selective-defoliation and give the girls a haircut before "picture day."
There's also one Animal Cracker that got sick the week before I moved it from a veg space to a bloom tent. It hasn't bounced back 100%, the AC next to it is thriving (AC is on the chopping block anyway, got to see what Gorilla Cookies yields, looks, smells, and hits like; I'll likely drop one). Before taking a pic, I want to move the <100% healthy plant from a primary spot, down to an "extra" spot in the well/on the floor; and move up the best looking one from down there, or one that allows me to take advantage of space in the well (i.e., it fits). The well is for "extras," so they won't fit if they're too bushy. It's mostly a nice place to cram ones that maybe lost a branch or two, was too tall or grew weird, but it's a good strain and fits (i.e., extra).

Ok I’m so beside myself with this thread.
Your yield projections are almost maddening. Do you have a clue what it means to hit the numbers your trying to claim you can do? Have you ever calculated grams per watt or grams per sq ft?
Anything in the 40g per square foot and above is getting into mastery. Your trying to say you will hit 1/3 more than that.
I’m sorry but your insulting the people who do do this professionally and have worked to achieve this. And why you have so many taking the piss.
You my friend have a huge EGO and I can’t wait to see you trip over it and come back to your reality. You aren’t ready to be a farmer that provides medicine for yourself let alone to think you can provide that to patients and turn a profit.
Take those ridiculous glasses off so you can learn a thing or two.

All I know is, when the lights weren't at an optimal distance, I got close to 3 lbs. And I'm not counting all the "scraps"/tiny buds I've been smoking since my last harvest (recently, the most recent harvest (basically, when it hits the jar, I've sorted out all the bs for me)). Now, conditions are much improved. And I've cut 18 strains down to 8! I expect to be north of 3 before any pheno selections. Gradually, I want to hit 4. Five (5) is aspirational but, yes, it's the goal.
Goal: the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.
I might find out from feedback, and I'm open to it, I may need to take out the extra veg area I carved out of my larger tent (separated by tarp) and light up that area for bloom, too. I want 5. I'll be close soon, whatever. the fuck. it takes. Thanks.

Do you understand math or physics? Close to 3 pound now you think you can just pull an extra pound and a half more. Like from where?
Your claiming you can pull 63 grams per square foot?

I just pulled 731 grams out of a 4x4 and that’s 45 grams per sq foot. With efficiency of 2.05grams per watt.
I’m so glad to know that god is amongst us. Please tell us more.

I edited my response. I have room to add lights in my larger tent. If I have to, I'll use that entire tent for bloom. I just want to hit 5 with the least additions, reconfigurations as possible. It's not that i don't have the lights, space, or funds to buy more lights.
Some of you come at me like I'm trying to publish an article ... it's difficult to provide all the facts you might need to give me the feedback that gets to 5. I'm hoping what I have set up gets me close ... I'd love it if it were enough. Why not give me a break/benefit of the doubt -- feedback minus dickhead sarcasm is helpful.
PLEASE tell me you don't think I'm talking about 4x4 space. Never said that.

Please Redo my math. I used your big room as my example

huh? nice plants, but no ... how the hell is that the size of my larger tent? peace, bro. be easy....
when you lst lower than that, there's virtually no wasted branch space (unless the genetics space nodes out or branches stretched while you weren't looking). it's all buds. i encourage secondary branch stretching during bloom.... plus, with oscillating height by 6-10", plants can get closer together by a few inches here and there. of course, i'd prefer bigger plants with greater yield ... but the aggregate of buds and branches is measurable -- it adds up.
None of my individual buds will ever be bigger than yours, but that's not what I'm going for -- ideally, all my nugs would be the same size. As is, I divide them into two grades (A and B) and charge accordingly.

I get that. That tent's 2 weeks into bloom. So, timing. If it were 4 or more weeks in, I'd probably leave it. But since you don't use a "well" for "extras," I can see why the move would seem counter-intuitive (i.e., unnatural).
With your setup, once plants are in place, you're done with that part. My setup isn't ideal but, until I can grow 8 oz plants, I've got to be able to call and run audibles at the line of scrimmage ... or I lose my shirt.

grrr.... like talking to a wall. yes, I use separate seedling and veg stations ... but you're not blooming those seedlings, right? we're talking past each other.. i'll straighten it out with pics. have a good day, dude.

bk78, i'm not trying to be a dick. i don't doubt that my approach is unconventional. I do that with everything. If I can't be a little creative, i'm not interested. that's just how I am, it's not all about a dollar.... sorry, hopefully my pics clarify what I'm trying to do.
