I agree 100% no one gives a shit brother but this grower goes about it in his own way.selects heavy yielding strains,even studies up on particular strains,knows how to read the plants and what there needs are..even defoliation is an important factor..you 2 guys have more in common than you think..yous are both good guys but just dont tolerate bullshit lol..
while i've made some of the best friends in my life because of just that, I'm not going to measure my three inch peter against some obvious Peter North type that has it all figured out. Best to avoid a heated discussion rather than once again end up on the mods radars for being me. y'all know how i've been lately.
at the end of the day, yield doesn't matter for most home growers. pushing the bounds is cool and all but in the first page alone i saw zero proof other than a link to another forum, which i specifically chose not to follow because RIU is a worse troll factory than even the shroomery, and antagonizing comments towards others calling OP on his unheard of claims.
i'm a proof man. put up or shut up. posting a link to another forum indexed by google isn't proof of shit aside from knowing how to search "cannabis" imo. claiming identities doesn't validate a damn thing either.
claiming 3lb out of a 4x4 tent is bullshit. point blank.
a 4x4 footprint? maybe attainable with a good yielding strain under a 1k hps in the right media and more space. 16sqft would require three ounces per square foot to yield three pounds. the math doesn't add up in my head based on nearly two decades of experience.
otherwise it's a fools errand to achieve this kind of yield out of a 4x4x7 tent. especially accounting for the 18"+ you need for lighting, then
m space you need for media/rootzone. a little over 2lb totally attainable. not an entire additional ~400 grams though. No fuckin way.
I just won't engage in this discussion any further regardless if he's Samuel Motherfuckin Jackson or Joe Schmoe with a need to flex ego because he has personal life issues. I lost interest in the stoner egos long ago when I quit listening to KMK every day, and quit smoking pot like it was lifeblood. Call it pussy shit or self preservation, I don't give two shits what anyone thinks. Rather ignore an antagonist before catching the ban hammer these days.
Lastly, I put up my grows and final numbers, and have been here for over a decade on two separate accounts. A poster with less than 100 posts taking this approach smells like a troll to me, 100%. that's where I'm at. sorry for the long winded post, no attack intended.
