if you're an enthusiast, you know about heath.
if you're intelligent, you dont believe the internet hype.
I don't know; I consider myself fairly intelligent and I don't think he's making up his numbers - that being said, do I think all 3 pounds were AAA primo herb, even the plants that were 3' away from a 600? No, no I don't.......I firmly believe there's a tradeoff between efficiency and quality, and everyone has to find their personal inflection point.
my cock is 20" & i bang porn stars for fun ...do you believe me?
Probably not :)
too, we got our own at the farm :
rather than be critical of heath, let's see what #s our guy does.
Lol, to hold me as a measuring stick for the validity of Heath's grows is ridiculous :confused0054: My unit is MUCH less efficient than his, and my plant numbers are nowhere near his - I'd have to be over 300 to be comparable in plants/light (he had 84 lit by one 600, if memory serves, whereas I have 90 being covered by 4 600s). My only goal for this run is to bring 90 healthy plants to flower and minimize the fuckups; if I can accomplish those two things with all the new shit I'm doing this run, I'll be a happy camper :harvest:
plenty of phat growers at the farm & all over the web in fact, i doubt many "pull numbers" like heath.
finally, slathering spit on heath's balls in preparation for a dubious over/under aside (& dont forget the rim), what does that have to do with this thread?
1 plant... 2 lbs ...not 100 plants (or whatevr) and claims of 76 zips.
my vote is scrog & light mover.
i was thinking hp aero in a 27 gal tuffbox... but i'm watching it develop in another thread & have my doubts as to the overall set up cost in a small plant count grow (you'll see i always go to that tuffbox as i think its the bomb container for the price).
The 27 gallon guy won't be nearly deep enough for a tree's roots in HP aero - looking at building a custom box if I go that way, something like a 3' cube-ish.
hp super efficiency is da bomb though.
Pretty happy with it so far - as a function of efficiency and growth, it's nowhere near comparable to any other system.
super simplicity of hempy is bomb too!
no way i'd change my set up (ebb & flow tables, sog, 145 cut/plants) ...till i was sure i could be successful in another area.... but my state's laws are harsh on people who grow like me!
since i love hydro, & hempy is THE simplest version, it seems sooooo logical.
Hempy would work if you don't mind the daily watering........that's a little much for my lazy ass, but would definitely work. If I was personally trying to grow a 2 lb. plant under 1K, I'd have to say the "best" (function of speed and reliability) way IMO would be a 40 gallon Brute trashcan transformed into a DWC container. That would kick some fucking ass, IMO.
& you can automate like other posters suggest... and still say big middle finger to dirt & fucking fungus gnats (no offense to the dirt guys/gals & insect lovers).
maybe a low slung ebb & flow. there's options. let's discuss & leave heath at the door.
i'm all about scrog... not too tall, style of growing that yeilds well, and is interesting.
unless i'm going outside, imo, fuck a big bushy tree.
You said it........I like growing buds, not branches..........but if the laws change I guess I'll have to lower my plant counts, so might as well get some practice growing them sooner rather than later.
