hey renfro, things looking great as always.
I do soil grows, but I was wondering If you've ever used those plastic preforated air-pots (not the fabric kind)

or if you've tried soilless with the fabric pots as well.

Just curious why they aren't good for soilless~cause it already is airated enough? One thing Is I have to water a lot more with these, and It took me a while to realize when i fill it , I need to moisten the soil and pack it outwards to fill the cones so the root ball gets more surface area

I just was wondering maybe if you have never used one of these it could be fun to try. I love them because they are easy to clean, easy to transplant from, and cool looking (lol)
I do however wish the outsides of these were white**(edit), almost like panda film. Perhaps a side-by-side could debunk if these are worth it or not. They're pretty expensive

I use Carlisle 10 gallon Bronco Buckets. They work good for my setup with the drain lines to the floor drain.

no and no lol. Since the weather will be cooling down for the next run I will just run them on one row to start. Then if all goes well I will add the other 4 on the run after that.

Ya thats prob a good idea.

I think i might keep my cmh in the room for winter growing, just to help with temps. Was gonna build and run the last 480w fixture but might hold off until it starts warming up again.

Renfro,
Just made it to the end of this...Wow, what a ride.
Those are some impressive monsters you're growing there!
I wanted to stop and say thanks for taking the time to share your journey with us. As a total newb, the ability to pull 50+ lbs off of 12 plant, just blows my mind.
I hope that you continue to move forward with your expansion, of both your strains and your plant count.
Cheers,
WillieP

Thanks! I am indeed expanding. In more ways than one. New building is in the works for a commercial recreational grow here in colorado, also partnered in an oklahoma mecical grow. My personal grow is more of a proving ground now, a place where I can test methods, equipment and genetics.

A shot of a wet glue larf nug up close. I actually like smoking this larf, it's super potent, very light green, super smooth, fucks me up.

Drying room full of trays that are loaded with defanned glue.

This round was fucking stellar. Everytime I chopped a bud I would find 4 more hiding behind it. Had several trellis squares (6 inch ones) that I had to cut the trellis because 3 or 4 colas would be wedged thru that spot. We ran out of trays even though we were packing them really tight as always. We had to start freeing up trays by doubling up trays that were full of dry buds that hadn't been trimmed yet. It took about 2 weeks to chop and defan all the glue with just me doing it. I hesitate to guess the yields because I don't believe it myself, all I know is it's more than I have ever pulled. I have never had to start doubling up trays, usually I have some left for the larf. Normally a dry tray of untrimmed glue results in 8 ounces of timmed buds. I have 118 trays of dry glue with about 8 of them doubled up. So the math for an estimate would be around 64 pounds. It's fucking crazy amounts that blew me away. Honestly I won't believe it until it's all trimmed but I do wholeheartedly believe that it's at least 50 pounds. We haven't even chopped down the larf yet, we have to double up a bunch more trays, probably 6 to 8 pounds of larf. lol It's fucking insane. And the quality is on point, dense nuggets with great frost. Been smoking on some that came down at the beginning of the harvest and it's definitely the glue.

Is this about the Gorilla Glue 4 that had such a huge yield?

Working on Missouri now. Oklahoma allows 25% ownership from out of state (silent partner). Missouri it looks like 49.9% is the max out of state ownership. :o

I’m just teasing. That’s good shit tho! Where did you get your gg4 seeds at? I was thinking about running a 10x10 of Humboldt seed blue dream and another tent of high quality high yield strain

You mentioned somewhere in another thread that you liked MH bulbs compared to HPS for flowering.wasbthis right or did I read it wrong. Thx

I have used MH finishing bulbs for the last 10 - 14 days to add some resin production. I have in the past compared HPS and MH side by side and the HPS definitely yielded better due to the far red but the MH had better resin production due to the added UV.

Using the MH as a finishing bulb gets the yield of the HPS with the resin production more akin to the MH.

Great thread you have here! I came over cause i saw on your post from another thread about owning the nanolux 1000w cmh. How do you like them, and are they reliable?

I was in the market for new lights for a 8x9x8 space. I was thinking about doing a mix 2 hps 1000w, and 2 cmh 1000w. Thoughts, recommendations? Anything would help.
