... but my local downtown growyoda's opinion on what my maximum yeild is going to be needs be mentioned.

"What light ya got?"

"600w Sunblaster HPS being driven by a Lumatek ballast, covering an area of approximately 3x3', approximately 14-16" from top of canopy..."

"Never mind all that. Ya got 600w? You're not going to get anything more than 600 grams in the end."

"Yeah, but ____, I'm doing LST and ..." (cut off yet again)

"You're still only going to get as much bud as you have light, no matter what you're doing..."

Sigh. Talking to the man is sometimes like talking to a fuckin' brick wall. A brick wall that cuts you off. I think the problem is that he's been doing it so long, he's kinda set in his ways, and even tho he grows good stuph, it ain't quite the /best/ in the neighbahood, if yo' kno' wha' ah mean. Even though he is doing what should be indoor dirt connoisseur grow, with Co2 enhancement, full enviro control, totally up to code, with a SHMITPILE of fucking lights.

In my humble little space, I am getting the same lumens-per-square-foot he is, AND I'm tending my plants a lot more in veg. So....

But he might be right. If I keep heatstressing out the lil' girls, he might be. I do NOT want him to be right, so I'm doing me goddamn best to max my yield, so that when the time comes, I can slap my lightsabre down on the table and ask... "Hey ____... wanna guess how much more I wound up with than you thought I would?... how many TIMES more...? Because LST works, ya ole ****er..."

I am soooo looking forward to taking care o' my lil girls tonight...

Wow. Am I ranting? This Cheese I've been smoking in downtown TO has totally crept up on me... Ahhhh.....
