Need Help with HEAT.

[Chabnoc]

I am sure a lot of people get more then 1.5 oz's per plant. I know of people who get almost a pound per plant, but they are like 12' tall. and take 6 months to grow. My last grow was my first hydro grow. My plants started out in soil for 2-3 weeks, and I got so piss'd at the dam soil I pulled the plants washed the roots, (being careful) and put them in a hydro system. My plants from time the seeds cracked to time I was harvesting was just under 90 days.

My plant tray was only 12"x24" and I got almost 5 OZ's of Premo Buds, and little over an OZ of Pop Corn Buds. This was with 3 plants. I am glad my plants did not get much bigger, they were already choking each other. This is why I now have a second Hydro System for when they go into flowering stage. And the Amount of Buds is not what is really that important to me, What is most important is the Quality and the smokeability. I want people to say, Where the $*%&^$ did you get this shit!! This is some good smoke!!!!

There is a thread out there right now, with this Huge Tight Bush of a plant. It looks very good right now, but it just went into flowering stage. If it was my plants, I would hope to hell it stretches some to get light down inside.

I do not want huge tall plants, but I also do not want a plant that is so bushy no light gets down inside either. I know this is what LST is for. This is why when in flower stage, I have a 400 watt HPS above, and (6) 43 watt CFLs and a t-5 on the sides.

OH<< I already bought my 5,050 BTU AC unit for my flower room also. This should work out very well. It was only $89 at lowes. Very sweet deal.

Also I have to agree with AL. I can only wonder if you have children Zando. I can see it now. the Little Kid walks for the first time ever, and you sit him down and tell him he did not do well because he did not RUn the mile in under 3 minutes, because others can.

Per plant yields are meaningless unless you're comparing grow ops of the same style.

In a SoG op, one deliberately grows a large number of small, short plants, flowering clones as soon as they set root and pruning off all branching on the lower 1/3 of the mainstem. The result is top quality top colas and the big, dense ol' nugs on the upper part of the mainstem. 3/4-1oz per plant in a SoG op is actually pretty good. The yield is made up by the larger quantity of plants in a SoG. Pruning off the lower branching in SoG eliminates 'popcorn' buds and prevents crowding.

If you have draconian plant count figures in your local cultivation laws, SoG probably isn't for you. However, if you don't really care what the law says, SoG will give you greater yields per amount of lighted floorspace and better avg bud density than other methods, with less floorspace devoted to vegging as you need not veg the plants you intend to flower.

Also I have to agree with AL.

Chab, thanks, but it's cool. I can deal with irrational complaints by disgruntled netcops by myself.

I was not trying to protect you. I am just tired of people cutting down what I am proud of. And also puting words in my mouth.

As if 1.5 oz of top of the line sweet tasting buds are bad per plant for your first try. I smoked some of this Crappy ass Bud I grew with a buddy of mine. He bagged and bagged me to sell him an OZ. I finally did, for $450. If I had grown more plants I would have sold it for $400, But I wanted to keep all of it. It was my first born.

Yeah, I see your point. I had partners in my very earliest grows too- and found them to get complicated. I fly solo now. Sometimes I really could use a hand, but it's better for a few different reasons to DIY, info security being pretty high on the list.

Here is a few pictures, one of my light, and one of my AC unit. But i do not need them right now with the CFL's. this give me time to build a nice room, that is set up correctly.

As far as people knowing I am growing. No one knows. I do not even let people come to my house right now. I have always been a strong believer of it is very RUDE to show up at someones door with out first calling. So if someone needs to see me, I meet them somewhere else, if not, I just burn aome insents and shut off the fans and lights while they are here, and then rush them out the door.

Dudes, Lets not make this a pissing match. It's all about learning. I don't have to defend Zandor but the man helped me to no end when I started along with latewood who in no longer here. My last grow my nephew busted me with was 12 oz's from 6 plants. I was keeping them small, flowered at 8 to 12 inches in a drip system. SOG, I had 12 plants in 2 systems. I was going for a pound each month.

I would just like to see Chabnoc's grow log continue without hijacking. You have to take advice with a grain of salt. If it works for you party on.

Good luck and keep us posted on updates. I'm a solo flyer too. Let one person know and it's over. Just ask me to tell my story.

Oh man, am I ever with you. I have a very special hatred reserved for religious doorknockers and door-to-door salespeople. :wtf:

I TRY not to kill the Girl Scouts when they show up, but I DO ask if their Girl Scout cookies are made with real Girl Scouts. Then I buy 20 boxes of Thin Mints.
