Humboldts New 8 KW Get Down

[humboldtsbest]

one side of the room has some trees.LOL. the sour D are perfect and the Kaia Kush just dont stretch. They vegged for over a month. they were topped. i thought the kaia kush would stretch like the sour d but they got to about 1ft and half and just started getting bushy. the other side of the room were last minute pick ups because we had it full of Master Kush that vegged as long as the Sour D but they all got weird on me and had to scrap them at the last minute..

Here are a couple of 3 week shots..

holy fuck dude! 6,000 watts and only 4 pounds?

on a 400 i dinged in at 10 ounces, even with a lotttt of fuck ups. no fuckups, i woulda called 12-14. almost a pound off 400! i plan on going 2kw to get 2-4 pounds...man with 6,000 you should be pullin 8-15 pounds...

 

[humboldtsbest]

agreed...

when you go from 400w to 6,000w a few simple fuckups in the beginning means so much more than a few simple fuckups in a small ass 400w grow

i wouldn't talk shit at him until you have 6000w and maybe you will follow the curve but some of us are lucky enough to be able to jump into the hobby and dial it in as we go.

 

[humboldtsbest]

agreed... its actually 8,000 watts now. LOL. We will see how it goes///

LOL, I'll third this.

Here's a good example: What happens if you don't add enough nutes to your current res? 5-20 plants suffer a bit, and you go around and either handwater in some more food, or dump your tank and start over. A few bucks in nutes, maybe a handful of clones die, but you're back in business either way for $100. You've gotta buy a new bulb or two a year? I have to buy 16 of them. You need some bloom booster? You need $5 worth per grow, I need $75 worth.

With a couple hundred plants, and over 200 gallons of reservoir, handwatering is a huge chore, and you've got probably $100 in nutes in each reservoir already. You gotta add another $50 worth of nutes to get things back on track, or start over, pouring money literally down the drain.

Got the temps set too high? 200 plants cook, and you're paying huge power bills to do it. Even if you end up losing your whole crop, the expenses to get there in the first place are fairly large (power, nutes, etc) so you end up losing a ton of money when things go poorly. I've figured each crop in my grow costs me $3-5K in total expenses, regardless of the final yield. A couple shitty crops and you end up broke (like I am now.)

Efficiency is sooo important in large gardens, everything must be done right so it's reliable, but also must be done so it impacts the bottom line as little as possible.

Reduce electricity consumption, reduce nute regimes (especially additives) or use cheap nutes like GH or CNS17, cheap substitues for expensive medium, and for me, I go around doing big favors for folks so I get cheap deals on lots of clones.

Sorry, rambling on again....

 

[humboldtsbest]

Yeah, with u totally on this Lazy... The last two runs pulled 4 lbs each. with electricity, nutes, and bulbs alone, we are broke already again. But with every run comes more knowledge. So far this one is turning out great. Temps are down, nutes are on good schedule with plants everyday... We may not be making a ton of money, but this is a hobby first for me... I just like to see how far I can go with it.LOL...

 

[MrBananaSlug]

Looking real good man keep it up. Did you top all of those bitches? The Kaeia has a ton of tops...I have the same strain going and was wondering if I should let it branch itself or top it like crazy cause mine are starting to stretch a little.

 

[humboldtsbest]

Nope. Did not top them. They all stretched to about 1.5 to 2ft and bushed out.. Not to say ur will not though..

 

[MrBananaSlug]

Cool thanks. I guess the stretch is their Super Silver Haze genetics coming out or something. I'm excited to see what these bitches can do naturally then! Good luck with the grow, from the looks of it you might be doubling your harvest this time if things continue to go this way! I'll cross my fingers and solar blaze a ROOR bowl to that man!

 

[MrBananaSlug]

Haha I just realized I typed every sentence with an exclamation point....what a fag

 

[humboldtsbest]

LOL. I am glad u were the one to say it man. That Bloombastic link worked. The shit is being shipped to my house.

 

[MrBananaSlug]
