back in the day my "pods" were (allegedly) similar to this set up in the picture below, which i'll be using now, only i had 11 rows of 3 plants per slab, per pod; 3 pods for total of 99 plants, couple of runts in 4" cubes stuck in the drain end of the trays (tray was 40", slabs were 36", this allowed for a spy hole to be able to keep the roots out of the drain hole, i had opaque covers for them, that you could remove and wedge a 4" cube into it. couple of mothers and you were above the 99 plant cut off, that put you into the golden federal statutes. (good fucking thing too
). each 40" x 9' long pod had 4 - 1000w hps lights over it fast mounted to the ceiling, for a total of 12000 watts. ea. set of 4 lights were on a 240v pool timer. the room had a 10 ton air handler in the room. on very hot and humid days the coils in the air handler would freeze up and you'd have to unplug a few lights, open the air handler unit and point a blower into it to thaw it out. this would keep the temp at 100-110f. i was cool with 100 but if it got above that i'd shut off all but 1 light over ea pod. plants would sometimes droop a little, but never suffer any real damage. terpenes wasn't even a buzz word back then; didn't really care bc it was a cash crop (although i did put out a quality product that checked all the boxes and was allegedly worth 4k/pnd wholesale) my room allegedly put out an average of #30 every 80 days like clockwork without fail. never heard of or gave a shit about vpd or none of that crap, light and par meters? fuck no, didn't have'em did't need'em; still don't. my main priority is potency for pain relief and sleep. taste and smell are secondary.
i'm only putting this out there for all the doubters who think i'm some kind of mark or troll who doesn't know what the fuck i'm talking about. i can assure them i do. it might take me a failure or two and some hard learned [noob] lessons, but i will figure out a way to mash old & new school techniques and put out some quality product for myself and a few close friends. i learn every bit as much from the noobs as i do from the pro's, maybe even more. "a wise man is poor mans teacher; and a poor man is a wise mans inspiration and example") the only thing i can claim for sure; is to be an ignorant fool that will always have more to learn...
