I haven't grown a high yielding plant..these plants are all low to medium due to chemotype being my priority.
I've had 1 plant be 4oz flower and 6 oz trim in vert...gonna pick a different plant of the same size, veged half as long which will probably push 8oz tops with only 4 oz of trim and be 22-23%THC with +6% terpenes.
Is someone going to report +1gpw for the 'Forum Cut' or 'Big Bud?'
If its 'Big Bud,' then should anyone care?
So instead of citing "top shelf returns," lets hear about the actual cultivar, and what the cannabinoid and terpene profiles were like. You can call it "top shelf" but I am not interested in it if the THC is not above 20% and the Terpenes are not above 4.5% no matter "how big the yields are."
We just pulled a scrogged 'Cannatonic' plant which was 12oz tops and 4-5oz trim. I'd say it did 400g/m^2 in 8.5weeks of 12/12 which is almost the same as the cultivars description of 500g/m^2 at 10weeks. It would do much better in vert vs our dispensary cut, but its not going to get much else going for it like sales. Over a g/w of this isn't worth less than a g/w of something more marketable.

Willstown...Is that "plastic" with a hole in it above that bare bulb ?......surely not....
NUMEROUS old head growers yrs and yrs ago tested rotating plants compared to hackin out the backs of plants in vertical wall setups like stadiums , and rotating lost hands down in the end result weights consistently , so I wonder what you`re doing different that would fly in the face of all that`s been learned up to now from all those yrs.....plus...
A stadium setup is the absolute WORST vertical setup there is due to the fact the bottom plants "beneath' the bulbs that receive the "least" amount of light are the "closest" to the light source , and as the plants step up closer to the bare bulbs they move BACKWARDS and away from em for diminishing penetration into the canopy where the "sweet spots" of the bare bulbs are .....now.....
I learned about floor fans on their lowest setting directly under stacked bulbs to create a slow column of air that assisted in normal heat convection with air exchange twice per minute FROM Heath Robinson yrs and yrs ago , and I assure all here it`s by far the easiest shit I ever dealt with , and finally.....
Bongstar....Doubt what you will , but the guys I speak of run perpetual setups with stacked bulbs and plants on all 4 walls floor to ceiling with top shelf returns well in excess of 1.5 gpw`s based on 10 week cycles of 4 week old from rooted cut pre-vegged plants directly put in bloom rooms with the trigger pulled 12/12 till end of cycle.....and yeah...
I agree gpw is a flawed system without taking all equipment amperage draw plus time consumed from taking a cut till harvesting said cut , but it`s been the standard of the industry in production setups where finished weight , watts per sq ft, and initial grow area sq ftg are used to judge by....as far as cannabinoids.....
Several of em have their own dispensary and the others caregive for big collectives , so I`m sure the shit`s tested , it`s just that they`ve dialed their shit and produce consistent pulls run after run with perpetual setups and laboratory conditions......
My 2 cents from all those yrs....
Peace....DHF...........
