Typical cannabis forum bullshit.
Why is this bullshit? I'm not understanding the negativity?
It's chest beating without taking into consideration such factors as hood design, light received as opposed to some black/white "watts" thingie and botany, the latter being nothing more than having the experience and understanding to balance all botanical factors that go into the equation. Like I said, this is the same crap as grams/watt which is nothing more than a forum, anecdotal pretense. Then you have the baloney that stripping a plant of its leaves somehow results in more yield. It's laughable.
That's what it is, lot's of talk. Grow some dope, or rather grow some leaves, lots of them. That will drive your production, not necessarily high light. High light is meaningless unless you understand hood design and the light saturation point of your plants. Once you've fine tuned your light saturation point, and just stay under it, you're in like Flint.
Same with CO2, it's meaningless unless you can monitor ppm and balance it with all the other factors. There's nothing more refreshing than, uh, fresh air.LOL here we go AGAIN. Poor old Uncle Ben and his old school techniques with old school yields. Too funny. Nice way to enter a thread BTW Benny Boy.....It's chest beating without taking into consideration such factors as hood design, light received as opposed to some black/white "watts" thingie and botany, the latter being nothing more than having the experience and understanding to balance all botanical factors that go into the equation.

Still not understanding coming into the thread and making the initial comment? Is 2lbs with that wattage possible? Clearly from the responses given. As for plant botany and managing the different aspects of growth, I mentioned humidity, temperature, nutrients, # of plants per light... I didn't mention the distance of the light from the canopy, but if you thought that was crucial you could have simply suggested it. You can catch more flies with honey, get my drift? Just sayin man, smoke one and chill out, offer some helpful advice because I know you are knowledgeable.It's chest beating without taking into consideration such factors as hood design, light received as opposed to some black/white "watts" thingie and botany, the latter being nothing more than having the experience and understanding to balance all botanical factors that go into the equation.

Temperature is not an issue for me because I now use air cooled hoods which has drastically reduced my heat and keeps it very manageable. I just think that the lack of fresh air being moved through the room is leading to stagnation. I also do not want to use a propane burner that causes heat and humidity that I will then have to deal with. I really want to try those co2 boost buckets which are filled with mushroom compost and last 90 days when used in conjuction with a timer. I called the tech line and it sounds like a promising development, odorless and releases absolutely no heat. Thanks for the suggestion.
Or try and imagine 4 lbs on a 4X4 tray every 8 weeks without CO2 and using cheap powder nutes .... See my previous post =)
Actually I would be deathly afraid of the search function here and on most forums. They are woefully inadequate.
Which was why I said what I said. Too many opinions from people who never cropped out on a pound before but are "experts" on the subject. I am part of a bodybuilding forum where you are not allowed to post advice to people unless you are strength and physique verified to guard against the spread of incorrect training and nutrition information. It would be nice if we could have the same here, however, its not possible for various reasons.
Ummm a few problems with your post. First, why could I not re-create your environment. Last time I checked, co2 levels are co2 levels, humidity, temperature... same deal, so therefore yes I can re-create any environment you can. Second, scientific developments happen all the time and help us to become more efficient and do better than we could have before. Athletes today are bigger and stronger than they ever have been before. Coincidence? I don't think so. This is why we research. I'm not saying that some of it isn't marketing hype but developments and breakthroughs do happen. Third, its not possible for everyone to attend a greenhouse and take notes on what some gardener does. We have access to this forum for the purpose of discussing the cultivation of marijuana and techniques associated with it. This is our opportunity to discuss what we have tried and what worked and didn't work for us individually. I personally would like to achieve 2 lbs per light. I am yet to do so, and so I started a thread asking for specifics on how to achieve this goal from those that have. Anyone else who would like to share, please do so.Hello All,
Here are my thoughts on this topic; even if I did get 2lbs per light and told you how I did it you would never be able to recreate the same environment/growing conditions as that I had. What you should do is study up on some good old fashioned botany or spend time with some elders in a local greenhouse and "listen" to what they tell you about how they take care of thier plants and incorporate some of that into your own grows;take copious notes on everything you do and learn from your plants. Dont get caught up in all the new marketing bs, the bigger better faster scam; save your dough and buy something nice for your wife or girlfriend......that has much more mileage
I gotta tell you simpler is better and it will help you have consistent yeilds with less nutes and less frustration. Its a weed and it can only grow so big geneticlly, you cant force feed it, doesnt work regardless of what you read.
Learn from each of your grows and enjoy the ride; dont get caught up in the yield game, instead focus on quality. And for what its worth UB is spot on with his comments. Holler!
