    How much does aeroponics increase results?

    This is a question for growers that grow over average results. Since you started doing aero, how big of an increase did you see in your results? It is well known that Co2 can increase yield up to 40% if done correctly. Most get about 20% increase. What can be expected when going aero, if done...

    How much light (lumens) is needed for cuttings to root?

    I have a dimmable MH lamp and I'm not sure if I should have it on 250W or 400W until my cuttings start rooting? Does anyone know how many lumens is needed for strong rooting?.. and how much is too much? 250W seems a bit too dark for the eyes. 400W seems right, but how to be sure? The cuttings...

    Could you please explain, why home?

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    I believe much of what Odin said could be true, to certain extent, but there are always 2 sides to every aspect. Let's not deny the other one - some plants are just not worth cloning if you're dealing with lots of plants imo. Got to know where the line should be drawn and that line could be of a...

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    A fucked up way to be happy about yourself. Good luck to your kids, you piece of shit.

    Highest gram per watt known?

    How can you be so sure? What if they don't? I'd very much want to know if you think my 1.6gpw is also an exaggeration, considering that I did some big mistakes. Maybe it's time to wake up and look what's outside of the "common belief". Mind and it's limits... After all we are talking about a...

    cured bud no smell

    To my understanding it is probably too late for curing, if stem snaps. Depends how you define snapping. It shouldn't crack. Buds should be crispy on the outer surface, but little bit soft (moist) inside, which you could sense by pushing your finger in it. As I understand, long dry is best to...

    Highest gram per watt known?

    Good to see there are still some people with good vibe here.

    Highest gram per watt known?

    As I understand from your story, the key to high yield is high number count of plants. As much as 64 per light.

    Highest gram per watt known?

    I don't get it. Are you seriously saying it's possible to get over 3 GPW with small SOG plants? Without Co2? Please tell me more. How do you know this stuff? Where did it happen?

    Phenotype hunting - vegging vs flowering

    Ok, you won. You made your point in a very intelligent and humorous way. Little bit too negatively, but I get it. Life has been hard on you.

    Highest gram per watt known?

    So as I understand, 3-4 grams per watt is doable with SOG method. Fucking inspiring :) I guess another few essential compounds would be: 1) Co2 2) light movers 3) good reflectors with good digital ballasts 4) good reflective sheets on the walls 5) accurate temp and rh controlling (understanding...

    Coco vs aeroponics - difference in potential?

    You mean if I would "normally" get 3.75 pounds per light which I got last grow, then it would be realistic to expect an increase of about an extra 1 pound which would be 21% increase? Were you sarcastic or are you talking seriously?

    Coco vs aeroponics - difference in potential?

    Not getting it. What stress are you talking about? Although I know there's no room for error with aeroponics, it would be cool to know how much of a yield increase can I expect with this upgrade. Three major upgrades I made for the sake of mass production last grow were: 1) Digital ballasts with...

    Vegging growth speed and flowering time.

    I'm seeing different opinions on this matter and I'd like to see more discussion. The question I asked now is different and it remains - Is there a connection between growth speed at veg and flowering time? Or is the answer going to be that there are so many variables in plant characteristics...

    Vegging growth speed and flowering time.

    There were also other people besides Odin who had something to say. Few examples: 1) My experince indoors is the most vigirous will produce the most, not the best... 2) High yeilding plants that are slow to veg is not a commercially desired traits over a high yeilding plants that are quick to...

    Coco vs aeroponics - difference in potential?

    I just went through few articles and all seem to indicate that aeroponics is superior to hydroponics regarding speed of growth mainly because of the fact that oxygen is more readily available for the roots. It's a known thing that co2 can increase yield by up to 40%. Can anyone find any info...

    Coco vs aeroponics - difference in potential?

    As I understand, coco and aeroponics are both basically hydroponics, right? But in aeroponics the roots are basically in air which are constantly being misted with fine mist. Seems like can't get more aeration than that, which seems to be like a good thing, right? I'm questioning if aeroponic...

    Vegging growth speed and flowering time.

    I'd like to start off with a couple of quotes: Now could anyone please tell me if there is a connection between growth speed at veg and flowering time? Or is the answer going to be that there are so many variables in plant characteristics that it's impossible to guess the flowering time based...
