Ok this once I will help you with your obvious astonishment, that people are not you.nor do they want to be.....(oh boy I've been waiting for this one)
Dude, you're growing thumb-sized buds in a closet and are conducting 'what if I grew plants higher than the light' tests. Is that even a test? lol
Here's a test idea: what would happen if you actually pruned your plants correctly as to maximize the yields of your 100w LED. Start a journal, I'm sure everyone will be on the edge of their chair.
Here's an idea. I'm physically unable to do a lot.( paperwork says "disabled" but that's not how I define me.)
I get to stand on my feet, in pain for at most 2 hours a day. Then it's in a chair in pain. Been dealing with this for many many years.
I don't talk about it, nor do I need anything from anyone in the form of sympathy or whatever.
I don't owe you an explanation at all.
I also don't want it to go by what your doing here. You know.Who you are and your tactics as a person.
A bully grower....the fucking scum of the earth.
Why I'm not you ,in your situation growing like you?
I'm not you! Lol
But if you wanted know ,why I do what I do....ask.
I can't bend over really. So tall plants are a must
I'm not embarrassed of my situation,quite proud really.
Not of the pain, but what I manage to get done in spite of it.
You wouldn't care but maybe others would and I'm cool with you putting me down,even more....because people now see you for you. Toxic.
I run a 5 fixture 50 watt Cobb setup from timber led. I have 3 of these over 3, 3x3 trays. 2 trays for flower, one for veg.
Nothing to brag about at all. But it's mine, and grows more than enough dank for my fam.
In not big time, and if you try to tell me I need to be you'll be a fool for it.
Here's some food for thought. My lights penetration, as good as it is, is only so much.
My finding for my situation. SCROG limited the vertical depth of canopy, at least with the strains I'm running....and I really love to rotate them. I Can't get under the canopy without a lot of pain. Little bushes at waist hight is ok, but a little higher up is easier.
Either way if the penetration is just 2 feet for example....who the fuck are you to tell me we're to put that 2 feet of penetration.......rofl. I'm gonna do what I want. I know. It hurst you so.
The ones I showed you were old moms
I have no quotas to fill, and plenty of thumb sized buds ,so just flipped them.
I take things to an extreme sometimes, this was one of those times.
In hind sight....it sucked, a lot of work that a simple pruning would have fixed. ( your welcome for the tip).
But....I don't regret it at all. Learned a lot about light burn in ways I never imagined.lol
I never knew what a couple signs of light burn/lack of light looked like till now. I can help others because I know it first hand. A fucking weird way to go about it yes...but I'm better for it. Could I have made it perfect like all the other runs....yes. But I wouldn't have learned what I did if I had you in my ear.
To you....I'm doing it all wrong. I'm growing out of a closet.
I respect closet growers way more than I will ever respect will you. You assume and never ask.
Talk down instead of praise people for what they are doing right.
There's a reason why people like micro brewery's. Ever heard of craft beer?
Little guys do it better with better quality son.
The next time you acknowledge some ones bud size ROFL....but don't add that it looks dank as fuck. Your looking like that hater again.
Just saying.
So in the future ,maybe ask someone why instead of basically insulting them for a grow style that accommodates their physical limitations. It not a good look for most....but honestly. It suits you just fine.
Now will you walk away humbled or will your ego get the best of you. Either way, your not my issue thank God.
