2lbs of bubba kush on 1 light

Simplicity. Soil is eay, Hydro has more problems that can happen this is my first grow set-up i adopted it from a friend. Oh and by the ways guy i got no where near 2lb's I was decived by the leaves. We ended up just short of a pound. Of course we did turn the light off on day 54 and chop days 56 and 57. Could this have fucked it up for me.?

It loks like at least 2lb..wet.

So you got 11 ounces off 29 plants? Damn... good yield but I only have 2 plants going into flower... and they haven't sexed yet. So I'm guessing 1 female on average? That would mean hopefully I can get 1/2 oz.

Adding more plants under the same amount of light is bound to reduce yield on a per- plant basis(unless the plants are saturated with light!). None-the-less, great job and I love the mover. I'm thinking about getting one for my next run.

FoxFarm- good choice. At least, I've had good luck with their brand of products. I know a light mover would probably be a pretty cool toy, but honestly, they kinda scare me.

How often were you moving the light back and forth? Were you there everyday to keep moving it and cover each of the plants equally?

Not sure if I understand this but in no way is 11oz off 29 plants a good yield! I have seen horid grows get 1/2 oz per plant. That would leave almost a pound with 29 plants. Not trying to be a dick but thats does not sound exeptable.

Please link me to this grow so I can see what the problem may be!

C02, youll get twice the bud weight

If you get better nutes youll get twice the bud weight

If you get a light mover youll get twice the bud weight

How about not counting chickens till they hatch? Grow, experiment, and nothing will be able to improve more then 100% on a soil bucket with an HID light on it. Im not saying that all these techniqes are awesome but they are only a small% of what it takes to grow plants. Basics are the most important, Good soil, good light, good seed.

Plus this dude can get 1/4 ounce per plant and hes still money money with that perpetual setup.

sure looks like he can hit two lbs to me all he needs to do is get a little over an oz per plant

You should be able to pull a couple of elbows out of there no problem. Even if you only got a z off each plant that would still give a shit load! And that's way underestimating it.

I used to have a light mover on my 1K MH. They work great for keeping the light close to the plants without burning them. The vented hood you have is a great solution.

I finally broke down and bought another 1K HPS. I can't believe the difference. It's like night and day! (sorry for the pun). My buds are as hard as a 16 year old boy on prom night! The MH and HPS lights work well together. I think they are becoming friends.

You're stoked dude!

You're not being a dick, you're fine. That wasn't my grow. If I grow a couple plants but saturate them with a ton of light, I should be able to get at least an ounce per female, right?

With good nutes and that 1k hid? You should get ATLEAST 1oz from those bitches. If only I had the money and the space that you do...man..

Say Bro, Hey What's UP????........Great Job!!!!!!.........Don't worry about how much you can Pull, Just Having The Best You Can Have!!!! With The Harvest You Get!!!!!...........You have done a Great Job & I'm sure It will Be Better Next Harvest!!!!!

damn straight! well done. i just finished my first grow uner a 600W HPS with nly 4 plants but got 2oz per plant. makes me feel like i wasted some precious light... next grow i'm beefing up the op.
keep it crancking!

It is very difficult to dial in 1 gram a watt. but it can be done and IMO sog or scrog is the only way to get it.

Vertical Sog or rotational sog makes it easy though if you have incrediable plant numbers/.

Im on day 14 of the new batch there is 30 plants this time and they are a little shorter and i will not be trimming and pruning them this time. I think i voer trimmed last time and did not water them enoug hor pay enough attention to my PH balance. I am staying on top of it this time. I am also using Botanicare CNS17 Bloom nutrients. I moved the light a little closer but it burnt a couple of muy plants so i backed it off to about 12".
the light is on a timer and it moves automatically when the light turns on. It holds for about 10 seconds at each end of the rail. I'll get some pictures up whenever i find my camera. Oh and I am adding two 1k HPS lights in the 4x4 hydrohuts and i moved my veg room into my walk-in closet.

never saw what your yeild was?

13.5 ounces......horrible in my opinion....I have added Botanicare CNS17nutes, Advanced nutrients Bud Blood, Big Bud, and i will use Overdrive at the end. I guess we will just see again.

I would sog that tent, fit like 50 plants with about a weeks veg.

Yeah do that. Don't even veg the broads--just clone them and put them in flower and see if you get more bud weight going for kola only with smaller plants (Al b. fuct). My primary interest in light movers is the ability to get closer w/o burning. If you have a uniform canopy that isn't very deep, you can probably slam your girls with more lumens. Dense buds are more fun than firm titties. Oh and I'm not really qualified to give you advice, I'm just wrestling with a short ceiling in my hobby area so anything that lets you put the lights closer will help me a lot and I like to see other people tinker with their op for research and output.
