Maximising yield in a commercial grow

I did no veg SoG bigtime for 7 years in multiple locations at once. I ran 48 plants per 4x4 area (1kW SE HPS). 7x7 grid - 1 for tray fittings. Consistently pulled a little over 2 pounds per light, averaged about 20 - 21 grams per plant. I would lollipop them at day 20 to make the focus all their energy on the top. Made for super fast trimming and all nice nugs. Strain is KEY! You want a phenotype thats suited to your setup.

Cheat a little by rooting the clones for 20 days in a tray of rapid rooters, they should have roots that are 12 - 14 inches long and white. Then transplant and flip. I used 6 inch square pots with hydroton.
What strain did you do if you don’t mind me asking

I never have been, my whole life ... and I'm old.
I'm not 'cool'.
I rely on finding common ground, intelligent conversation and debate.
There are others like me.


I acted different the first three weeks I was here. For sure. This IS my first 'rant'. How am I doing? How do ya like me now? Better I bet.


Yer late to the party. I been here, being me, and I see what I got.
Who the fuck still grows only GG4? And who the fuck chops it so early?

Oh that’s right, it’s you! The triggered snowflake who is talking all kinds of shit. In this thread and in politics, and then complains about the politics forum. Jesus fucking christ. You trying your hardest to make the rest of us here in the North State look like idiots like yourself?

It was Shiva from Nirvana back in like 2003 when I got the beans. I would pay a solid number for a legit pack of those beans or a cut but it would have to be pure Shiva and I can tell by the smoke and plant structure. Shiva Skunk and Shiva Shanti have both been tried and they aren't it. I made millions off that cut in a little over 7 years of growing it. Pure indica, strongest I ever smoked. I never built a tolerance to it, nobody did. A nice one hitter on the bong and you were fucked up, every time. Didn't matter if it was the first time you smoked that day or the 10th. Practically owned KU with that strain back then at 35 a gram, no breaks.

My gem from Nirvana back around then was their Ice. I fucking destroyed it with that one. The pic in the big book of buds looked like shit but the description of big yield sold me on it. Straight fuel. Like gasoline fuel, but in a good way. Very frosty, very easy to trim big solid colas. Made ALLOT of money with that one :hump:

Yeah nirvana had an immature pic but the flowering time and yields plus the indica part sold me, stuff finished hard in 60 days. This is the pic they had on their site lol

New members generally get the hard treatment for a while and the more it bothers them the worse it gets. If they take it in stride and razz back in good nature to show that they have some thick skin then people back off and welcome them into the fold. It's not about acting like someone else or kissing ass but rather showing that you have a pair.

I guess that’s what we’re all after here lol a potent strain that grows crazy!! I’d like to know more about your set up and if you don’t mind. As I said I’m doing SOG and you’re method sounds like what I want to follow. I want this to be consistent

And it helps to show some respect to the ones that know their shit, or even the ones who are just trying to help (some members excluded, haha).

I don’t know why you tagged me .
Hashbucket is a pedo , who thinks he’s a big deal (very laughable) “I grow GG4 in 6 weeks
Or I don’t know how many days are in a weeks” no wait , it’s 8 weeks , let me brake it down for you , ba ba ba , 10 day here’s 20 days here , ya 9 weeks like I said !
I can see more intelligence in my dog.


This thread “commercial” grow .
More like half ass hobby , that the guy sells grams out of the same house .
I don’t consider that a commercial grow.

A commercial business is whatever you make of it. If it’s profitable it’s a commercial business. I make easily 100+k a year doing this. It’s hard work, working in a tight space but I only make this much in a house by using the space very efficiently.

Obviously I don’t make millions I am just one man, but I am happy and it pays the bills and I live comfortably

I agree with this.
My hobby might not pull in very much profit (12 - 14 k a year) but considering the cost of outlay and ongoing expenses its a nice, albeit small earner from a very small grow area.
Its a tiny indoor hobby farm.

I’m sorry I phrased it the way I did, I didn’t mean to put you down. Feel free to think of it anyway you’d like, but it’s more like a profitable hobby. I know how much work it is, looking after a small crop by yourself.
Commercial, I think of a complete space just for growing , not a spare room or attic , garage etc . EC1A5DD1-5964-4568-8085-70700E4F7AB3.jpeg
That’s about 40p in my arms .
