Its not my set up it is just, imo, the most basic possible setup. I think if he had the basics down he would have had a successful grow by now. How is that not logical? Because I think you start with just letting a plant survive and move up the competence/complexity/yield/potency ladder from...

I know this is not the kind of answer you want but I think it kind of needs said- addressing the overall problem of not yet having a successful grow: I would start with whatever you want for the first grow if you have the money and what you know on paper seems to back it up. When that failed...

About the above post, jacks dynamic duo, CAL MAG and blackstrap molasses and you should be good to go. People put all kinds of funky stuff (enzyms etc) into their medium but really those three things should have you squared away and in my humble noob opinion, will get you better results than...

Heh..gotta love Steve Earl!

I quoted passage, page #, book and author (Franks); not an increase in weight or bulk so much as simply a faster growing plant with tighter nodes during veg. I digress though, and will continue the discussion in a more appropriate thread. Much respect and thanks to you for posting your...

I am wondering how much stock you put into hobbes idea that with light movers/plant rotation you can cut that effective w/sf number in half, in other words rather than 35/sf prime, 17.5/sf prime with a mover.

Your shit looks sweet, 18/6 works very well for very many people. You make some great points, good honest evaluations. I have light penetration, lumens, optimal coverage space etc all covered in about 4 different diagrams I have made up based on what I've read and seen. I have a chart made...

Your 2 cents is golden, thank you very much for it :) Marijuana Grower's Insider's Guide (by Mel Frank) ""Garden's grown under 24 hours of light a day do grow faster than those under 18 hours of daily light; but for many growers the cost of electricity outweighs the increase in rate of...

Thanks for the answers, totally appreciated. I don't want to fuck up your thread (UB) with this debate but 24/0 is well established to cause to the plant to grow 30% faster, with tighter nodes. Don't take my word for it, take the word of people like Mel Frank,Ed Rosenthal, and cannabis botanical...

Of course I am a newb. Seems like right around 4 weeks to get the 6th node for this method is the min veg time, and I am going 24/0 to make that as short a time as possible. I just want to give it some extra growth after topping, not much. Asking for suggestions on how to max yield in minimum...

Thanks man, I really am a newb. I was thinking 5x5, 5 5gal pots in a row x 4 rows with an extra foot after the 4th row. I am using a single 1000watt hid and don't want to push the limit of what the light can effectively cover. I am going 24/0 and was going to veg another week after cutting...

This is an awesome thread, really almost like a textbook, an online classroom. Much love and thanks to Uncle Ben! I am about 1/4 of the way through (like 75 pages in) and am wondering about the differences in yield between the 4 cola method and ccob method? Ccob being pretty much a single top...

Thanks for the heads up. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html Would be interesting to do a kind of documentary/ebook on the 'lineage' of mj cultivation and its pioneers, from the old school guys up to this day. btw for anyone that is...

I really want to make a thread dedicated to vertical theory and practice, cause this might be getting a little off-topic. The pic with the steps...imagine those steps from a top down view being configured into a complete circle. Imagine the lights positioned so that there are three: the bottom...

Well heres some pics of one of his grows, can't miss the vertical lights: http://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/photoplog/index.php?n=17057 Doubled is really one of the pioneers in this field (kinda like hobbes). Will dig up more from doubled soon.

Its cool on my end, sorry if I was being a bit of a douche bag. I had a brain storm (brain fart? ;) ) after responding to your post. I am thinking this shit is much like politics. Like a person starts with an open view of things with a mind towards learning and correlating the best solutions...

Copying and pasting is the same as parroting. Pauly wanna cracker? Think for yourself. As has already been said, the plants can be arrayed in a circle around the vertical light, so all of the light is being used. But you don't wanna hear that. You wanna post absolute definitive statements like...

Can always tell your right when the best the person you are arguing with can do is get mad and call names. I'm not talking shit. It is simple logic: No statement is worth more than the reasoning and facts behind the statement. You failed to provide the reasoning behind your statements so it...

If you do not know or are too lazy to type out the reasons behind a statement that "plenty of expert growers" make, you really should not post it. Kinda got an obligation to not be a parrot. Unless you like being a parrot. I dunno. If you don't know the 'why' behind something than there is...

I don't disagree with your reasoning because you give none. Please substanciate your statement. I am here to learn.
