"over 51 oz in a 4x4'? Thats dried weight?"

Well, the room yielded over 106 oz dried and packaged under 2 Gavita 1700e's in a 4 x 8 space. The strain was Orange Gasm by irie seeds. My second grow under them was Sweet Zombie by Expert Seeds, which yielded over 103 oz. I am now in my 3rd grow, Ethos seeds Candy Store and this yield will be over 100 oz again. All three grows, start to finish, are over at T H C farmer under grow diaries by sshz.

The first two grows now have over 42,000 views, my current is over 26,000 and I'm still around 5-6 weeks from being finished.

"Thanks. I will definitely be looking through that. That sounds insane. 9lbs in a 4x8, correct?"

No, better get your calculator out. That's over 6 lbs., not 9. (6 X16= 96, so 6 lbs. 10 oz.)

You keep showing pics of un finished half rooms. Show me the 7 pound 4x8 fully ripe.

Another non believer......I see them all the time. Go to the Orange Gasm thread, search out the videos around week 5-6 in flowering- those will change your mind. I used to get it all the time, once they read thru the threads and look at the progression of the grow, it never happens anymore.

the pic above is only at day 40, give them a chance to fill out a bit. The pic above is also cropped, you are not seeing the full room.

@Hashishh I wasn't kidding though: https://www.rollitup.org/t/my-budget-5x5-setup.982183/

I don't usually joke on here unless I put an "LOL" or "/s" in there somewhere to let people know I'm not serious. It should make you think though when a person can outgrow many folks (not all) who use expensive HLG lights compared with freakin' dollar store and Walmart light bulbs with less operating costs and initial investment (about $300 maybe to light a 5X5 in Canadian dollars).
And all I wanted was the proof to back it up. I'll be honest you downplayed it in your initial post. I was expecting a couple little LEDs and a few pounds of wet, leafy schwag.

Good stuff dude, for real.

All of you guys that buy the china shipped lights, what do you do for warr? Have you had to deal with that scenario yet? It would be the only thing holding me back from trying them out. I personally love my HLG's. Just curious.

Buddy just had 2 strips go out on his 2 year olds lights, Meijiu shipped him 2 new strips the next day, took a week to get to him

Yup, had a few too many tokes this morning. Even then, still very impressive.

I just sat down and started watching some videos by a guy with apogee I think the company was called. Pretty interesting stuff, I wanna look more into the PPFD of LED vs HID. Ideally I'd like something that matches the wattage at the wall as my HPS but runs more efficiently. I'll have to start looking at brands and stuff. My light burnt out not long ago and I'm using my backup.. time to upgrade I think.

What you guys are missing is the Grams per Watt.......... since the gavita's are 645 watts (vs. the HPS at 1000 watts), I'm getting 2.3 GPW without co2. So I'm getting as lot more oz out of the room with way less electricity being used.

I link many of Dr, Bruce Bugbee's video's in my threads, who is the owner of Apogee. I've added UV-B to my grows because of his UVB video. He's a Professor at Univ. of Utah, and the only professor who has the only legal license to study lighting and marijuana at the school in the U.S.

Honestly that's a slightly useless metric. I guess I can grow up to 1.5 GPW with just regular LED dollar store and walmart light bulbs. But the fact that in early seedling and veg when I can just screw in more bulbs as they grow allowed me for more savings. In other words, I started my 4 plants with one 14 watt bulb each, and just added to it gradually by screwing in other bulbs. I "upgraded" to quantum boards with Samsung LM301H diodes, and I spend more throughout my entire grow cycle now than I ever did. I don't even get the coverage I'm used to, so I helped my last grow with 8 LED bulbs from Home Depot! LOL

Got about 1 kilogram from the one plant though, so I think it worked OK even if I spend a few dollars extra on electricity than I'm used to.

Damn that's pretty good. I see a 30-40" recommended mounting height. Is that accurate? If I got one, I'd use it to flower in a 3x3x6 and height could be an issue.

Well, we'll agree to disagree. The gpw metric can be compared to anyone else's grow making it very relevant for comparison purposes.
