Final yield #'s please



final yield was 14 lb's. not too bad. this was the last run of third dimension as the strain went to garbage, hermed its self and produced small buds, if it produced the normal third dimension, the final yield would of been closer to 18 lb's im sure.....

will still run an open bulb grow this next round, have shit loads of lavender vegging, thinking about a super sog run, about 125 plants in 2 gallon coco pots.....

ya, the amount coco that i throw away is insane. at one house backfilled a retaining wall 30 ft long and 4 ft high. and filled 3 20 by 20 raised beds.

at this house, there is a pile about 3 ft high and maybe 50 ft in diameter! this year im throwing in a huge veggie garden in all the coco........

nice krunch; far as the mpb systems go u ever think of the under current setups? a lot less work on the setup tip... i heard doubled sold his design for the mpb's to a company and they'll be coming out with a retail version soon. From what i've seen they look pretty sick; but i think if u put that many lights around a huge coco plant u might get the same results

as far as coco in dwc... 1 gal paint thinner bags go around a 8 inch netpot no problem... i ran rockwool chum in netpots in a dwc before; just set the water level to the very bottom of the pot to get wicking action and the plants were very very happy

i have to say though rdwc, once dialed, is the least amount of work of all the systems unless you consider finding creative ways to hold up really huge colas work ;)

i have seen cubans use a 5 ton sealed co2 with 16-18k 35-40 plants in 5 gals hydro pull 35-50 consistently... believe me or not!

Those numbers sure come up.. But the 5 gal part is very rare.. These cubans like them big pots and veg time... All worth it tho.. :joint:

14 still a nice chunk homie.. Nothin better then harvest time.. Be safe :joint:

Sir Krunch I am curious about a couple things. Take into consideration I have been mostly outdoor organic.
Why throw the coco away? Why not mix in some organics and reuse it? I know a few indoor growers that r strictly organic and they just keep adding: 30 gallon batches, 9 gallons perilte, 6 gallons worm poo, 16 gallons compost
1 cup sea bird poo, 1 cup high P bat poo, 1 cup kelp meal, 1 1/2 cups azimite,1 cup powderd dolimite lime, 1/2 cup potash

In my opinion the taste is better and yeilds as well as veg seems to be better as well. Plus the fact that by using natural amendments there is no build up of salts.
Let me say that I "do not" have your experience and this is just my view and am trying to understand pros and cons of each way of growing. Vertical is definitely in my future for sure.
I am guessing you are going with what works best and keeps you on schedule. Organics does require time once you mix all this together you have to let it set for a couple weeks "at least" so you don't burn your plants.
I would love to see you add a few organics in a grow just for comparison.
Thanks for all the great threads, I have learned a lot of $$$$ helpful information!!!! You definitely have some mad skills!!

Impressive as always KB. Hope all your legal woes work themselves out, in the meantime overgrow their lousy asses.
