Yes, I was talking about when that plant in the pic was finished would be 3 to 4 oz max dried . Unless you are talking about weighing it when wet, its makes it real hard for people to believe anything you claim. Cheers, RB

Even if I still kept the scale weight pics, idiots like you would just say no way these came from that plant. Since you really have nothing to contribute, go the F away

I keep thinking about your root picture, and it reminds me of a traffic jam. The root mass below the few thick roots, which are responsible for passing the nutes up to the plant.

Obviously, your plant pic looks loaded, but perhaps it would be even better if your method allowed for the root mass coming directly out of the net pot

Your plants are stretching cause your light source sucks. Not sure why anyone would prefer a smaller root system I guess...

Not that long ago, high performance only came from big v8/10/12 cylinder engines, but over time, companies have learned how to make small engines perform better than big ones, and more energy efficient.

The newest Ford GT 40 no longer is based on the V8, but a v6. Lots of high performance cars (Audi, BMW...) are switching to 4 cylinder engines. Performance increases have come in a number of engine management improvements, but mostly in the combustion chamber where they have focused on improving how the air/fuel mixture detonates , which results in higher performance AND improved fuel economy

HPA (high pressure aero) provides the nutrients in ~ 30-80 microns into the root chamber. Due to the small size the roots that develop do not get fat, they look like massive balls of cotton candy

Ahhh I see how we're doing this. We're going to talk about completely irrelevant things then try to compare it.

A plant is now magically relatable to automotive technology in the height of the technological boom.


Well shit, the first washing machine I ever got sucks ass compared to the one I got now. But the drum is bigger than the old one. So I guess that means my point is right

Can easily do LED vs whatever you want. But power consumption is one thing taken into consideration ;)

My Vero 29's are on the way


I was never siding that smaller roots are superior though. That's just silly.

Lmao, you're telling me, running cxb3590 or ver029 drawing the same amount of power, you couldn't get more than HPS?

Deeeeeeeeerp. Would be able to run a room 2-3x the size if you were to use the same amount of power

That's just silly.
