6 Foot plant, In Perlite Mix, 8-10 pounds, No PH Checks?? How Does This Work???

A friend of mine knows a grower who claims he pulls at least 8 to 10 pounds of weed off a single 6 foot plant in a perlite mix in big pots with out checking the ph at all...never! He says he doesn't know why people bother with ph testing since he believes its not needed. This technic has been used for over 20 years by the people closest around him (like a secret recipe if u will),The main concept is to get the most pot off one plant ...less plants less risk right? Does anybody have any idea or info on this subject ????

when i grew with soil mix i never PHd at all and my plants grew good

You can get pounds off of one plant if it has the right conditions.

One 1000w HPS lol.
RW liquid nutes..
Lots of love.

Never 8-10 pounds.. MAYBE 1+

wow 8-10 pounds just picture 10 pounds, thats a black trashbag that is filled up. and picture all of that double the size on a 6 ft plant because it shrinks when dried.

I dont think 8-10 i would guess around 1-2 at the most!!!

...is that counting the roots and stems..??...:thumbsup:

You're not going to get that off a 6 ft indoor plant,he lied to you.As for ph not being important,if you soil ph isnt between 6 and 7 you are not going to uptake nutrients,period.Thats not to say you cant have a perfectly good grow without adjusting nute or soil ph,it's called luck.

Lol man I wish I could get 10lbs off one plant. Women would approach me naked, men would see me as a god and there'd be world peace.

not possible to get 8-10 lbs off 1 indoor plant. it would have to be lst'd until it covered a space about 8ftx8ft and lit by 3kw. veg time would be 3months or more and i still don't think it would happen. your friend is not telling you the truth. !!!!. in my 4ftx4ft space, using 1.4kw my best yeild (with 16-18plants) is 3 - 3 1/2 lbs!!!!! your friend probably meant 8-10 oz of 1 6ft plant. btw it is not very practical to grow a 6ft plant indoors anyway.

Can you say "BULLSHIT" !!!!!!!
If your pal was actually able to do this , I for 1 wanna read his book . Best I have ever seen in my life was 3 lbs. per 5 gal. bucket in hydro . I've seen nobody that can compare to Krusty either .

Yeah that's more of a reasonable yield off of one plant at most from a 1000w HPS with an efficient environmental set-up.

Holy goat shit Batman. 8-10 pounds off a 6 foot plant huh ? Is this the same guy they nailed to the cross growing this plant ? I didnt know he was back. Tell him/her/god we want a pic of this monster. We just have to see this. Pretend we are all from Missouri.

Pounds yes but 8-10lbs is pretty hard to believe. The biggest I've been around was a 12' Humboldt Skunk heavy with long spears and buds but the largest one only produced 3.4lbs of dried and well manicured buds...nowhere near 8-10lbs which I can't see possible to hang that much on a single plant. Perhaps 5lbs or so might be plausiblebut i don't know about that even and anything beyond that just sounds way to good to be true. Maybe it was weighed untrimmed and wet, that would fit in there...

And PH testing is very important for indoor grows, not so critical for outside. Some water supply systems are way too low while others come out of the tap off of the scale high, especially those in the desert SW.

Thanks for making that clear to me! Since ive never seen it for myself, but like u guys say.. someones feeding me bullshit. Ill be back with more info.
Thanks
