well BigGreen just thought i should pay my respects, you have convinced me to switch to a 10+ gallon rdwc set up. possibly even the uc. haven't decided on the route i wanna take yet. keep up the good work.
 
Why don't you post a tree bigger than an lb and show us how it is done.

He is at 2lbs and counting are you so cock sure he is going to miss and why the hell post any doubting Thomas crap in any event.

Are the 1970's tiles working so well for you that you think you are the re-incarnation of the green grocer?

:joint:

I believe that Dongle's biggest claim was 14lb from 6000w? While I am not saying it doesn't take a lot of money or time or work, I can pull 3# per 1k and at 6k I would expect 18#...which is more than Dongle claimed to yield IIRC.

Running Blue Dream at 60 per 1000w with no veg time will give you right around an ounce per plant which is actually 3.75# per 1kw...

Dongle had a very nice setup with huge air flow. I am not running co2 and I am at 2.6# per 1kw with only 29 plants (albeit vegged 10 days).

I agree with you bro that a lot of people lie about yields on this forum as well as many others on any topic on the internet. Dongle, however, showed a very nice dialed in room and didn't claim over what is possible. Maybe she claimed more, maybe I am misunderstanding something. If so please straighten me out :)

I love those UC and I am emulating a 4 site in a month for some high performance mothers. Over on another forum I saw some dude with 60kw using a 8gallon UC system setup on 40" centers. UC definitely provide the plant with everything they need to really excel in their environment :)

:ying:Your screen name says it all, I run very similar to Dongle, with her system her claims were easily achievable. Keep the newb comments to the newb grows. Us big boys do what ya claim to be imposible on a regular basis. With a lil help from my friends, there is no imposible feat. Thanks for all the pics BG, your a man among men. Karma, One Love:ying:

i know i have pulled 2# off 1 light w/out co2 and in soil of all things. amended and fed 1x a week with 4 gal plants, 9 total. and to make it even harded to achieve i ran 5-6 strains that time. if running my most beastly strain i could have got near 3# pretty easily. my plants were no where near the size of BG 13gals and i had no hempys or table on the side lol. 5 is an easy goal done right. i fit 8-10 ounces in each gal bag once dry. more sometimes if density is there.
GTN with nugs like this all over weight is no prob

Props to BG because the UC will yield for you like no other so does the Purple Kush and the growth rates are the fastest I've seen and they look happy to me :wave:

Although when plant numbers don't matter you can SoG...

BG--

Been following this thread for a while--since you told me to look to the roots. I'm guessing things are soild... "better if I could spend more time snapping pics"... I've been lurking hard, and it has my head spinning in so many ways. To avoid the root rot in this cycle, did you change anything or just hope the DO in the UC system was sufficient to keep your girls happy? (I.e. did you add an organic additive, or a chem treatment to keep the girls all blown up-ish-ness?)

I currently have side stepped whatever catastrophe my last grow was, and I'm getting a bit of background--pro.agro.lurk--that contextualizes some of all that went wrong. Just wanted to check in with you on how you think you might have dodged root rot this time around. (I tossed in a chiller, have been using tap (i.e. chlorinated H2O, but am second guessing that as I type) and things seem to be holding together this time.)

I had passed a pathegen threw the hydroton because of not washing them correctly. I also use DM zone just to help keep everything sterile. Which Im sure I really dont even need it but a dash here and there isnt going to hurt. The chiller will keep your roots happy its a must in dwc just keep it set to 68f.
Good luck
