Club 600

Super stoked for you Doobie. I was very impressed with the build quality of those things too. Too funny about hte guy saying it's too hard to play. A wonder he had the energy to type his complaints out. I'm looking forward to what you come up with to do with that thing. I'd ask more detailed questions, but don't want to bore the club with recording chatter.

Oh, and way off topic, but:
I love my new MPK61 !!!
It does have stiff keys, with the same spring feel that a synth has, but it has more overall resistance to it's feel.
Gives the feel of something that will last through years of rough playing.
Some out on the interwebz had complained that it was difficult to play for more than a few minutes, to which I ask: compared to what? If playing any instrument were easy, we'd all be gathered 'round the campfire with our instruments of choice as we joined in on rousing rounds of Kumbaya until the cows came home.
So I foresee old & forgotten fore arm muscles groaning & complaining over the next few months as I remind them of what they are there for.
The drum pads are just as stiff as others on the internet has said/complained about.
But all drums sounds can be played through the keys, so it's not a big deal to me.
The drum pads can be assigned to help control changes in Ableton during recording/live performances, so that is my main need for them.
All knobs & faders & buttons feel solid and pro-level. Very reassuringly smooth and strong.
The Akai version of Ableton Live Lite 8.2.7 came with extra drums kits, keyboards, and sound FX plug-ins (Collision, and Electric to name two).
In March I'll be upgrading to the full in-box version of Ableton Live 8 Suite which has everything and two kitchen sinks.
But I have lots to learn over the next 3 or 4 months until then. ;-)
Tonight, I attempt 2112 on my bass for a non-stop video cover of it for youtube.
Has to be done by midnight tomorrow night, or else... dire things will happen to me...

Thanks bro....about to feed for the first time with r/o I collected about four hours ago....water going in is around 400-425 and out is 5....excited to see how the plants respond with the added nutes instead to the 400ppm of bullshit they are used to getting...currently use GH three part with Florablend and Floralicious +...also adding Hygrozyme...I have a bottle of CaliMagic(cal. mag. supplement).....it calls for 5ml per gallon....run it full strength or should my base nute have enough cal and mag?

My Cal-Mag says to use 5-10 ml per gallon. I use between 5-7. I don't think it would hurt to add full strength though. I'd say maybe 3 or 4 ml per.

Hey I'm going to jump in here after being absent a few days and take a quick survey.

How many grams per watt do you guys aim for and is it a goal you reach? (as in I don't care if you aim for 2g a watt if you only get 0.5 but mention you hope for 1g if you have got 0.85 before or something)

Well, I would like to get 1 g/w. I usually get about 0.5. I have never actually set a goal, which seems to me like what I'm doing wrong (now that I think about it).

Thanks for asking.

(and yes... I can not shut up tonight... hope that's ok)

I wish we'd all switch to using "Watt-hours" (or KW-hours) when figuring yields under a given light source.
Would make more sense to me to know how long the veg was, and how long the 12/12 was.
Overall, I am hovering at the .5g/watt area.
(24 days from sowing seeds @ 18/6 for veg, and 70 days of 12/12 for flowering)

432 hrs for veg
840 hrs for flowering
----
1272 hours total time
10-ounces yield
-----
127.2 hours of light per ounce = 4.46 hours of 600w light per gram of herb = 2,676 watts per gram

My goal coming in to this grow was modest- to get about 8 ounces to last till next harvest.

6 plants topped above the second node under 600 w hps start to finish in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent

So far I've cured and weighed 460 grams of good trimmed bud with no seed or big stem. That makes it 0.76 so far but 2 of the LSD plants are still in there with some bud to finish and I got a it still air drying too. So at least 1 or two ounces left to weigh but maybe more.it always seems to weigh more than I estimate.

To think at one point I wouldn't grow enough. I got a 1.9m square tent here but I'm scared to use it because I don't sell so will have too much weeded. I'm starting to realize that exists.

Because I rent I can't scrog and I hand water and for other reasons don't want the maintenance of sog coco coir. I think 1g per watt seems doable for my next grow if I use the space better.

why not scrog? We got guys in here that just attach the screens to their pots, then you don't have to drill into a wall or something like that.

Truthfully i have never actually weighed my herb, i just make a guess according to how many jars i use. 2 Zips per jar.
