why is he posting over there??
that site is confusing... never seen a forum like that and i been on alot, took me a while to figure it out
damn i really dont understand why he thinks he is gonna get 10lbers. it really isnt much more light than he normally uses... i really thought he be stacking the 1ks and only going for one 10lber
you might be right bro but i am trying out my dripline theory to prove once and for all that yield is governed by root growth area. Let me try and explain.
I fully beleive purple/bubba kush is an excellent yielding plant but nobody knows how to grow it properly including me..... but i think i have figured it out.
when i grew some bubba's in the same system as my g13 i noticed how well it was doing and one day it just stopped. As a typical no patients grower i just chalked it up to not working well with the same nutes as i fed the g13. After i harvested and started pulling out the net pots i found that the root system of the bubba ws 5 times bigger than the g13. the g13 was twice the height, 4 times the width and yielded 4 times as much. I had to take a sharp knife and trim all the roots off the net pot b4 i could pull it out of the lid, the g13's i pulled out through the hole no problem. I beleive this is the key, once that 60 litre res was FULL of roots the plant just stopped producing. I then saw an urban grower (bc grows mostly bubba strains) and it showed bubbas about 6 ft tall, growing in a large garbage can and the garbage can was sitting on top of another huge container full of soil. This grower new his roots were restricted so he sat one garbge can on top of another and let the roots grow down to the next container. I hope to also prove this next round when i grow my reeferman purple kush in this system.
As i said at the start of this grow my record is 5lb 7 or 9 ounces... cant remember. I also stated that ionly got that 1 time, 1 plant out of 20 and havnt come close again in 1.5 years. If i can average at least that (all 4 plants) or get close to my goal on all 4 plants i will have proven my theory and growing cannabis will again have completely changed for me and hopefully help all of you. I beleive you are correct about double stacked lights, i beleive i will need them to hit 10 but because these plants are under 4 ft tall 1 bank of lights might be good enough and all i might have to add is a light directly overtop of the plant.
hope this helps and i have explained it correctly
