Hey,

I can't seem to locate it at the moment. Here are his other threads.

IC is Boring as Shit!!
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=7366

This is one of his Cage shows, but it appears to go unfinished and he talks about a different wattage configuration then I remembered with a mixture of both 600w and 1000w.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=8864

I'm almost positive there were others where he finishes and states yield. I believe it was out of a 3000w stack (no 600w lamps at all). Perhaps that was on Overgrow before it went down. Not sure.. it's been so long. I'll try to dig around a little.


Either way.. it wouldn't be proof per se. Just another guy showing his garden and stating what he got. It's hard to tell what people consider "done". I've seen plenty of friends off less then dry work. I wouldn't consider it accurate yield, but then again they were dealing with folks who obviously didn't care and were getting rid of it. It was a factual number in their book.


For shits and giggles here are some of his famous shots. I believe he was around 2lb per light on these flat gardens. I personally don't doubt that So Quick got what he claimed when wrapping plants around some bulbs for a 360 degree canopy.

My homie got 26 zips on a 1k on his second grow, from then on anything was possible in my mind.

In fact, you could not tell the difference between the bottoms and the tops, because everything is a top when you have light at the bottom. You should withhold your comments when you have no experience in this area.
Really? You're missing the fact that if you want to pull 3lbs you're going to have to increase your trellis size (which means more veg time) and *OH!* get not quite optimal bud.

Nobody is pulling 3lbs of just primo bud off a 1k light with today's equipment.

Go piss on someone else's leg and tell them it's raining.

Exactly.

Not a competition. Just saying it's possible. And it only happened by accident due to delayed flowering because of broad mites. BUT, I now know it can be duplicated, and 12-13 pounds out of 45 square feet is pretty good, no matter how long the veg time. Will not work with bushes or Indicas, only with sativas in such a tight space. Using their cubic feet is not something everyone does, and I think it's a part of growing that's wrongfully ignored. Won't work with tables or hoods, only with high ceilings and tall sativas. I believe it would work with Super Silver Haze in that room, but then you are talking long flower times. Many peeps don't realize how big sativas can get if you have the overhead. Jack Herer is a great strain, but it takes 14 weeks to flower. Cross it with Critical +, and you get a 10 week strain that is very much like Jack Herer, but finishes in 10 weeks. Super vigorous from seed. I'm aware that most people don't want to veg for 2 months or more, but that's what it takes to get 3 pounds per light. By the way, the bottom lights in the stack were only 400s, metal halide. With 600s or 1000s on the bottom, I could have done better. If you're stuck with a narrow space, as I was, you can't beat this system.
Also, I don't think you can double that yield in the same size space, ie., 45 square feet, with a shorter veg time, for example one month, which is how most growers roll. You are used to bigger rooms, and you can get nice yields with scrogs. Well, this is just a vertical scrog really, in a very small space, floor to ceiling. It was just over 2 GPW. Also, you are dealing with clones, and I'm guessing you are not including the time that it takes for the clones to develop. Correct me if I'm wrong. So that would really add another two weeks to the veg time if you counted the cloning time. Not everyone lives in Cali and has access to unlimited clones.

If it's possible with extended veg time.. then it's possible.

The poll says 3lbs per light. There are plenty of newbies in the industry popping up in these limited plant count med states that are damn there with 1 plant per 1k Gavita. A lot of veg.. yes, but it fits their mandated plant counts and stipulations.


We get into arguing overall efficiency of one's garden this is going to end up a really long ass thread.

GPW?
per time spent alive
per square footage
per whatever.

I agree these are all important factors considering the scope of one's goals... but to argue and debate about it is silly.

Is 3lbs per light possible. Absolutely in my opinion. Is the guy getting 3lb per light doing "better" then someone else getting less in a faster turnaround. Not necessarily at all. One can only compete with themselves and their personal best.

I tried to give away my information and sell it cheap. Most everyone laughed and gave me crap. *shrug* I'll just keep the info to myself, thanks.
I'm not an asshole, but I sure play one on icmag
Actually, I'd rather piss on your leg, since, as your sig line suggests, you like to "play" an asshole on ICMag, because you really are an asshole. Please, keep your "secret" information to yourself, in your secret, self obsessed world. I always thought this site was about sharing and learning, but apparently, you are incapable of either. As far as "selling" your secret information cheap, well, that's just too funny! Now, carry on trolling, and thanks for the laugh. *shrug*

heres one of my idols.. AeroKrafter's attempt at 5 lbs per 1k. Huge inspiration he is. I believe he's on a light mover...been a while..

because of that thread I now own a pack of Galactic Grape. I may fully copy his method as well since its soooo well documented.

Agreed. Not swinging dicks here. Just relating an experience, which wasn't really planned with any goal in mind.

He mentions in that thread he found a strain that produces quality medicine along with yield but those buds appear to be low quality/ lacking major potency. Not being a hater, just an observation.
