the ballast to my 250 died so for this grow i used a T5 and then a 600 W for flower.
one of the reasons my yeilds aren't bigger is that i'm really, really, really lazy (and i like to stay high all day)! i was into tweeking my grows for max yeilds at first, but it's been a long time of constant growing and i mostly don't give a rat's ass anymore. the only reason i'm attempting to tweek my grows now are the 12 plant limit. i need to increase my per plant yeild to get legalish! i'm very concerned about our medical pot laws and it looks like it's going to be a full court press to overturn them.
another reason is that i usually leave the vegging plants in party cups and then put them right into the flowering pots. as i throw them into flower right then, the root mass doesn't get as large as i would like. this is why i'm trying out the smart pots and air pots.
i'm actually pretty happy with 1 oz per plant. considering the bare minimum of effort i put into it, my yeilds more than meets my needs. what more could i ask for?
i was pulling between 20 and 26 oz every 3 months when i was using a 1000 watt. i had so much reefer i got nervous and gave a bunch of it away. i figured a 600 would be perfect. i'm averageing 16 oz per crop.
WINNING!
