I just read this start to finish in one sitting. I don't generally stray from vert world, but I am gobsmacked, bro! this is amazing work and your attention to detail down to posting up your weekly data sheets is something that everybody here (including me. I'm talking notes!) can learn from.

Thank you for your contribution to our community.
 
i'm only using 1k watt on a rail. Aero in 10 gallon totes. check out the progress in my signature. I'm guessing i'll pull a couple lb's~
 
areocrafter how do you have such low tds ? what ec would you say that you run? Can you give a ppm of each nutrient in your nutrient. Say 100 N, 50 p, 100 K, 75 c , 35 mg, and so on

Come on man, you really think a 1k hps bulb is gonna produce 5 lbs of dried solid nugs? Never gonna happen bro, it's pie in the sky.

I take that back, perhaps Monsanto will genetically engineer a super bud capable of such an unnatural feat...

2k wud get you 5 but you'd have to veg for a month and train better
1k with more sites vertical might get 5 but you'd still need to train better.
I noticed you didn't train as meticulously as I thought you should, your canopy was not organized and even, if it were better maybe 4.5 .

adapt this grow with some double ended lights , advanced nutrients and boom success

advanced nutrients just aint that great man, but glad you think so. shit if that was the case just adapt some double ended lights, maxibloom and boom success on a cheaper level.

PEACE!

I'm hitting 2.5-3 pounds under 500 watts with my keeper Chemdog clone from Green House seeds. Check my thread out with all my information. I just finished hitting 2.8 pounds in my last tent that was 5' x 5' x 7' scrog. I run 2 of these tents so I can still run 1000 watts and I pull atleast 5 pounds a round. A month for scrog/vertical veg growth then flip and flower for 10 weeks.

yeah perhaps your right i wouldn't know i haven't really tried anything else, i have however used (an) with very good results in fact i use the whole line up. outrageous right !?
However with aeroponic the nutrient is 1/4 strength so the nutrient last much much longer easily offsetting the extra cost.
I will share a grow very similar to aerokrafters with some upgrades on a thread i just started, if you follow then you can judge the future results.
