There is so many things out there that all say that increase size. I was wondering what you guys have had experince with and like. I was also wondering about using Bat Guanno or Tea's in the resivor with hydro?

Stuff I have tried or heard of:
Shooting powder- i like alot
Pure Flower- just started trying it
G/h Liquid kool bloom the 0-10-10- first harvest seems like it mad a differnce
Moyab by mad farmer- idk yet
kool bloom- idk

Im tried of cutting down and being dissapointed in the yield. We have been tieing sutff over and seems all great except all the darkness that it creats. It seems like you dont really gain that much by doing things that way. Im in 10x10 tents in greentree buckets with 4 xxxl 1000. Temp is great like 74-77 wuth lights on and 68-70 with lights off. Im using the whole House and Garden line.I guess to some it up Im looking for advice on how you guys do tent growing. Do you just pinch the plants and let them grow straight up? Im at like 1/g per watt and want to get close to 2/g per watt and I know some of you experts are getting as much as 3/g per watt.

Thanks for the advice I REALLY REALLY appreciate it!

i read like 20 pages of uncle ben's 2 to 4 cola link. I think thats what im going to do. I dont get how more people dont do that if it works as well as they say it does.

#1 Good Genetics,
#2 Good Genetics,
#3 Lots of light
#4 Good Nutrient
#5 Patience

Your genetics play a huge part in yield. Just take a look at my avatar. That was over 2g per w but the quality was lower than I had wanted. I'm not a fan of using anything but good nutrients that are complete and need not additives. I'm also a hydro guy who has something he likes.

I do prefer my temperatures a little higher during the light cycle and a little lower during the dark cycle. Outdoors temps reach over 100F and drop to 40F. I keep min under 86F during the light cycle and around 50F at night. That helps to promote the purple color that we all like to see. That is just how I do it, YMMV.

Thanks doc. I do have 4000 watts of hps light. I guess it just comes down to the genitics of the plant. I am confident in my set up i guess I was wondering if there was some part i was missing.

85 f with the lights on?????????? I may be wrong but dont you want to stay below that or even 82 so you dont melt the thc? Im not worried about the purple. House and garden already casues that a little bit plus IT DOESNT HELP ME GET HIGH

I try to foucs on the most resin i can get with still getting a big yeild

I recommend running co2, it definitely helped increase my yield. If you do run co2, then you can try to keep your daytime temperature around 85.

I have tent grow and run about 58-60 at night and around 76-85 during the day depends if the Co2 is on/Fan are off. Nothing melts at 82-85 lol. I just would not recommend over 85 degrees even with Co2. I wouldnt go over like 80 degrees if I didnt run Co2. According to several sources optimal tempurates for plant grow is around 76 degrees but Co2 is more easily absorbed at higher temps like 80-85. That what I've learned by reading several books and experimenting in the garden. Do not forget about airflow tho mold is the enemy ! :D So what can you do to make buds swell. Get crap tons of lighting, good genetics and Co2 never hurts. These three items helps tons but the environment and nutrient program must be dialed in. I run Advanced Nutrients and do well but have friend that run GH and do well to each his own I suppose.

Best of Luck
