forgot to add my closet grow (for quick smoke) that i took on while waiting on 4th grow to finish. i was able to flower these purple kush plants under cfl's in 6 weeks (though they are an 8 wk. strain) with mostly amber trichs. i got 2 or 3 rounds. i hated nodding off while smoking, but this is some potent shit.

thanks, bro'. it was waaaayy too much work, but the watering system made it easier. the whole idea just wasn't efficient when it came time to flush. that's why my next grow will be that aero unit i asked ya 'bout. hydro.

sorry, bro. that was a learning experience (with a small profit). it's over and was a failure. i was hoping for 100 oz (6.25 lbs). but, i know how to make it work should i ever desire to slave or work out the feeding.

YOU CAN DO IT! the secret is to find a loyal partner who has the space and split the rewards with them. place + money + work = experience/plan + plants + work. we can split SOME of the costs, but if they have the place and will supply the equipment, i will bring the experience, work, plants etc. this will minimize your liability should you take a loss (theft or other potential mystery).

going back a few years ago on on overgrow lots of test grows have been done on plant numbers in SOG the maximum return was 4x plants per squre foot or 1 plant every 6" with very little veg 3-10 days the yeild was over a gram per watt one grower was hitting 1.7g per watt although i think it was strain he was growing had a lot to do with it. i cant wait to see some pics of a 100 plant grow! i think you would get more with 36 plants in 1x1m under the 600w IMHO

"NEVER" is such a strong word. "Rarely" is probably more accurate.

I know I was going for overkill. I knew the outers would be underdeveloped, but they would produce SOMETHING. That's all I was concerned with. It was (over now) a 5' x 5' space which is 25 sq. ft. With 100 plants, that is exactly 4 per sq. ft. 600w is reported to cover 4x4, 5x5, and I even heard 6x6 (that's stretching it). I wnet with the 5x5, and it would have been a much better yield had I kept the root zone warm. This thread is about old grows, and meant to inspire the new grower. Blessings and peace to all.
