Another forum myth that will not die. Budsites do not need light to develop,

Not interested in getting into an argument, honest question maybe u can explain to me.

Why do my lower branches tend to produce lower quality popcorny buds if it isnt because they receive less light? And wouldn't the energy being used to produce these popcorn buds be better used by the plant elsewhere?

UB posted a thread that may help answer your question. The only reason I don't know if it will answer your question is because I am on my way there after I hit post reply...you better not disappoint me UB :)

It's called apical dominance

Hey all,

I am currently using 1000 watt lights and I hear lots of talk about 2 pounds per light. I have been growing for quite some time and have never been able to get above .5 grams per watt. So I just wanted to see what some of you guys are doing that are achieving this number. I have read so many different opinions on how many plants per light and nutrients to use, its hard to know what is fact and what is fiction.

Right now I am going to put 16 plants under a 1000 watt hps, veged till its about 2 feet tall. I have topped some of them twice and others only once. They are in 3 gallon pots filled with promix bx and I will be using sensi bloom a and b this time round with advanced nutrients bloom boosters. Strain is California Orange. Temps in the room will be 75-80 during the day and 65-70 at night. Humidity will be kept around 60. No CO2 will be used just oscilating fans to move air around. Am I on the right track? What are some of you guys doing to get 2 pounds per light? Am I putting too many plants under a 1000 watt light or not enough? Any input would really be appreciated. I am not even expecting 2 pounds per light I would be happy at this point with 1.5.

If ur running 1000w lamps u shud be using 5 gallon containers and putting anywhere between 6 & 9 pots per light doing either (2 rows of 3) or (3 rows of 3) this is dependent on how long u r vegging ur plants. If ur running a 4 week veg i would go with 9 and on a 6 wk veg I would do 6.

Also what nutrients are you using?
How many times are you topping the plants?
Veg time?
Medium?
Variety?

Theres alot of diff factors that go into getting the 2 lbs per light. Some strains no matter what u do u cant achieve 2 per light. Some strains Ive seen people pull 3 lbs per light. Theres alot of diff variables in considering ur yield and output.

Thats correct. And everyone else who posts will also get an update or alert whatever the case. Obv i didnt read the date as it was one of the posts in first few pages of the forum so i figured it was new or recently commented viewed on.

So i commented idk why ur concerned with it anyways. Noone asked u for a comment or a question. So stop trollin around the internet all day and focus on urself. Thanks

after reading this thread through I believe I was over crowding my light I put as many as 9 clones under a 600w in a 4x4 got only a little over 0.5 gpw

once dried it was easy trimming but not even enough for person as l medicating, as I fed with AN and GH but not in hydroton or coco like I should have never have seen good yields from chemicals poured into soil ,

soil should be organic and soiless can be pushed to insane levels if done well and carefully

i went back to organic soil mixed by me style grows and less plant numbers finally am pushing my gpw up towards 0.75 last few runs maybe 1 on this try we shall see wish me luck brothers and sisters ✌ ,, happy growing :)

but once i get up to 1000w maybe ill get closer to two lbs a light :)

have fun growing indoors guys I love it almost as much as outdoor but the sun is not on electric bill like lights timers fans are so greenhouse is truly my favorite but my yards too small

or I'd design a nice large hoop garden :) oh well soon to come guys hopefully..
