It's A Fuct World

Clever, but what if it is a male goat that has been sacrificed under the light of a waxing 1st quarter moon? Ever tried to milk one? Did you make a new friend?

Al, what's your thoughts on this lighting situation, is a 1000hps for a 4x4 closet overkill? been thinking about getting a 600 to save on utilities but if it's going to cause a significant loss of yield the 1000 will stay. there are no heat issues.

Use the kW. A 600 is just that little bit too small for 16 sq ft.Wrap that rascal in a cool tube with a closed air circuit.

5000lumens/sq.ft is the minimum requirement to flower, a high efficiency 600 should cover a 16sq.ft, just a thought

Think again. A 600 will produce poor bud density around the edges of a 4x4 tray. A 1000 is the right choice for that large a tray.

Fuck how did I miss this, That was funny. I didnt know about the carbs, I always see that picture in Jorge's Bible about the 20% larger from using molasses. I just Bought General Hydroponics FloraNecter are you saying I just wasted 25 bucks?

With all due respect to Jorge (and that's quite a lot), sugars have no place in hydroponic systems. Vascular plants can't eat them. Sugars may have some use in soil-based cultivation, where microbes which break down organic matter into N, P & K may benefit from application of them. However, in an inorganic-based hydro system, sugars do only one thing- attract pests, including moulds & fungi. The only living thing that should be in an inorganic cannabis hydro op is cannabis plants.

So yeah, I think you've just done your $25. Get a refund if you can... or put the stuff on your veggie patch out the back.

Long time lurker but it was worth it for me to come out and post just to say thank you Al. I won't say specifically what for but I think you deserve the kudos.
