I couldnt agree more daddyhaze
By the way, hows the Space Queen for taste, high, and grow-ability? I love the descriptions and examples Ive seen of TGA's beans, especially SQ so any info would be great 
Later bro.Mr. Durden

screw monocropping. you get 5 times the effect when smoking different strains all the time. only greedy cash croppers go for quantity over variety and quality.

Why you got to say something like that? While we may like to be efficient with mono-cropping, that doesnt mean we sacrifice quality. And greedy? come on now
DaddyHaze, nice job.
I have a question, with a large SCROG how do you get to the plants in the middle? To prune my middle plants and remove necrotic matter I have to pull them out and I wouldn't be able to do this if I add a SCROG. I'm also moving up to 5'10" square tables so that'll make it even harder to reach the middle.
Another suggestion, if you're having problems with your reservoirs, make them come to you. You could add a switched Y valve above your pumps and use the second leg of the Y to pump water out of your reservoirs. That way you don't have to move them (sounds from your description like that's what you're doing?). To really go the full distance you could add controller buckets - just use two Uniseals and a length of PVC to reach a nice tall controller bucket (or a short one on a stool or something) where you can easily reach it. Then you just empty or fill the controller bucket and let the res fade from memory.

This is technically a ScrOG being that it is utilizing a screen, but really it is a SOG with single plants that are supported by the nylon trellis netting rather than using an annoying stake.
As for the CannaStats Yield-O-Rama, I haven't yet seen it; but can you please elaborate on the 6x12? It'd definitely be nice food for thought; but in practice, I'm using pre-made 4x8 tables and not about to build my own with pond liner. I also thought the reflector and its footprint played a large role meaning that there can't easily be a "rule of thumb" for such so-called yield ratings. I'm probably wrong, so I'd love to see the other logic.
Reaching the middle plants in the tables? There is a ~1.5ft aisle in between the 4x8 tables, I think it's illustrated in some of my pics.
The Yield-O-Rama was made by the guy from Cannastats, who took the science of growing very seriously. He gathered data from various growers online (couple hundred I think?) and sifted it and long story short, 4000 lumens per square foot is the sweet spot for yield. For a 1k that works out to a 5'10"x5'10" area.
If memory serves, a 1k over a 5'10" square canopy yields an average of 2.68 lbs for an experienced grower, while a 1k over a 4' square canopy (which works out to something like 7500 or 8000 lumens PSF) yields 1.6 or 1.7 or something like that. In other words, conventional wisdom is wrong about HPS footprints (and light heights, I assume) if this guy is right.
I don't scoff at conventional wisdom, but conventional wisdom doesn't have the statistics behind it that the Yield-O-Rama does.
I wish I could say I've proven his estimates to work for me but I can't. Gimme another couple harvests and I'll let you know.
About the middle of the tables, I mean the plants in the middle of the tables, not the space between the tables. I can't really reach through a nice canopy to get to the plants in the middle and look in the undergrowth for dead leaves.

Just figured I'd point out what I'm doing and why. Obviously your grow is yours.daddyhaze said:
But to answer your question, I'd guess "what" = what you get from a 4x4, plus a pound extra. I don't look extra pounds in the mouth, not even if they're all popcorn. That stuff sells around here.

sorry for that choice of words, i do ofcourse realize that this is cutting everyone over one knife, it was just a way of speach in order to make a point out of that i like seeing the difference in strains and getting all the different flavors. my big mouth, and lack of curtesy in understanding english, my appologies. but yea totally i agree go for your favorite, and get as much as you can from your grows. also i am learning, i havent grown all there is out there so forgive me, i can understand how there might be others with better clue or better access to strains who have found their favorite.
no pun intended, especially didnt mean to be up in here hating on anyone.
hope those jars last for you aswell daddyhaze
im down to my last 10g's of the previous grow, phew.. almost ran dry this time, but i did give away quite a bit for christmas tho. 5 days till cutting.. ticktick 1<3
