15,000 watts and a few questions. Suggestions?

15kw is insane, have you tried to scrog plants under 15kw, guaranteed alot more bud then letting them grow normally.


whats your res size?

You're joking, right? SCROG is way too labor intensive for any scale like this, it's rare to even see 2-4KW SCROGS, let along 15K.

RR you keep nailin it! +k to you!

I have learned over the years from the collective knowledge on these sites over many years. I feel compelled to give back. What I learn from sweat and tears I teach to all to save them from the same. I think my work is done in the slime sticky and now I think I must start a new thread about this issue that I see very often and get it up in the stickies.

Im sure its labour intensive, just as labour intensive as your sitting in your chair tapping on your keyboard.

'rare to see 2-4KW', how long have you been growing for ?

I guess we do it differently in Europe, we care for our plants and maximise all environmental factors and conditions right down to what we put in our medium.

Having loads of light is great, but maximising to full potencial under a smaller amount of light to get the same results as e.g 15/16KW is even better

Dude it's all about efficiency:

If you put in more than the results are worth it's called "wasting" resources whether that be time, money, effort etc.

I think the above principles work the same way in Europe...don't they?

 

[toohighmf]

if you were maximizing gpkwh you would know that a scrog is not very time efficient...

Fucking free market is a bitch, isn't it!
Good thing I don't pay what you do for Energy.

Exactly!

You nailed it there. But sitting tapping on 'his' keyboard is giving him IDEAS, TRIALS/TRIBULATIONS, and sometimes KNOWLEDGE.

So for him, the opportunity cost of labor intensive SCROG is greater than the cost; electicity, rent, equipement, Internet, idle time, ect.

Feel me?

Harvest time is going to take enough effort as is.

Good thing you guys can't even fly to each other right now!! Okay, so here are shots from tonight. I am at this point confident to quite confident that things are no longer getting worse. In fact, they may even be improving! : )

I have now upped the mag pro even more and also upped the pro-tek. It seems that these need to go together to avoid serious PH issues. dyna gro issue I guess...

Thanks to everyone for the help. This place is great.

After looking at these photos, I realize I didn't have any real closeups. That will have to wait until next time.

Thaniel.

Having those lights higher seem to make a big difference?

You have a shit ton of light, I didn't pay attention to that earlier.

Ladies are looking good. Better start looking for manual labor now, you are going to need it.

Isn't that the truth!

It's either involving a few people or getting mechanical help...

Personally I would always prefer mechanical help...you know...machines don't talk!...lol

But until I find a pair of lazer-guided shears, I must put up with the bullshit.

Edit: Probably Sonar, so it didn't fuck with the trichs.

Naw man I'd rather have a few messed up trichs than the issues that come with human trimmers...

First of all and most important as we all know "Lose lips sink ships" and second unfortunately human trimmers get greedy really easy...and all of a sudden nuggs "vanish" in to the trimming clipping bag...under baseball hats...in to bras and a few more possible "cavities"...lol
(I am sure you get my point)

That's why we get 'Necked'!

That is why I grow with my husband, it divideds the work in 2 ways, and we do a perpetual harvest, so we don't get slammed with having to harvest any more than 12 plants at one time (still, 12 a week is a lot). Trimming is not my favorite thing in the world to do, but it must get done.

Unfortunately not everyone has the same philosiphy, recently one of the kids my husband and I are teaching how to grow harvested all of his plants and had 14 people come over to help him trim, none of them knew what they were doing, so I guess they did what they thought was best. I haven't seen the harvest, but I know he's itching to show it off.... still 14 people to help trim is insane.

OMG.. You are a jewel. When you get a divorce, please hit me..

Really tho. I am impressed. My wife gets mad mat at me when I call her and ask her just to turn on my CO2. I fixed that issue by buying a controller

Can we create a market for "trim and cure your own buds" marijuana plants? Just ready to go?
