Kitty's Commercial Grow Op-Bigger & Better Every Day!

I'm curious as to why start so big and then dial it in. I understand this is commercial grow and youre going to make the money back. But at .26 gram per watt, it seems to be on a very low end as far as efficiency goes. What plans if any do you have to dial your system in? Damn that's going to be exciting to see it develop and increase the yields. Keep it rockin kitty

The plants were transported in the middle of their veg cycle, and the first harvest had plants from 10" tall to 4 feet tall. Non even canopy, and flowering old mothers too. The yield is a direct result of the strees, transportation, awkward sizes, etc..........

As stated again just above your post, the next 3 lights being harvested have had no stress for their plants and are all the same size, so that will be the true first harvest.

To "dial it in" I mean more of after you do little upgrades here and there and learn your specific genetics better, your yield would hopefully go up the first 3 harvests then stay about steady.

Hope this clears it up!

Started week 6 yesterday for Harvest #2. Soon! :)

Of the Harvest #3 plants (the 6 lights worth) we plucked out about 15 males so far, plan to pluck out another 30 over the next few days. Mommies are ready to have clippings taken now so the male/female part will be over with soon. :-) still have like 800 seeds of grapefruit diesel x hijack left............................ Its a third of a big pill bottle!

yes, mixmatched, uneven plants, of random age and origin, and without knowing if that batch of genetics is good, will definitely take over 50% away on the yield side.

no matter, you knew what it would be. you are professionals.

the third harvest gm/watt ratio SHOULD make these kiddies shit themselves.

So i am hoping to get 0.5gpw with my next harvest. Are you saying im on the low side? 'Cause i was excited about this being my biggest crop yet! Im starting to believe i am on the low end for 2000w? if so, you guys are awesome!

It's pretty easy to work out cvbud, O.5gpw would be 1000 grams, so you just divide by 28.8 to get your ounces, which would be 34.7. and 1gpw would be 69.4 ounces. Hope that made sense, lol.

absolutly makes sense. I did all the math previously and am just assuming that i will get about 0.5gpw. what i want to know is how the hell are you guys getting 1gpw. because at .5gpw my room is crammed. i cant imagine more bud landing in my room. its a skill you all posses that i hope to reach some day. what im saying is i feel like im doing pretty good and you guys are making me look like im still trying to grow basil and tomato's. nice work, i hope to be at your level soon.

Tell me about it man, 1gpw is when you know you've got a near perfect grow. There are so many factors that come into it but if you get a proper reflector it will spread 600W of light out over a much larger usable area that most of us use. Within that space you could get a heavy yielding strain and cram a tonne of plants into a SOG style so you've just got a mass of donkey dick colas lol. With that comes greater risk though which is what stops people like myself doing SOG. The people who grow bushes and get 1gpw, now that is insane!

and this is why people use the scrog to obtain over .5gpw

3000 watts to 100 12 in plants.
pretty heavy yeild. ill be doing this over summer,

but my heaviest yeilds come from out side.
not the most potent.
but HEAVEY. avg about 7-12 oz a plant.
and no monsters. just simple 4 footers.
just pruned and lst in early stages of gowth.
keep all you weight at top. crowns and tops can sometimes exceed
over 32 grams. from experince.
you have 100 tops from 20-30 plants, each top over a 15gr, (avg)
your looking at around well, alot of meds.
But im impressed kitty.

thats a fat yeild even the road bumps you went though..
congrats

I have been reading your posts since day 1, and I just wanted to say two things:
1.) Thank you for sharing your grow, it's hard to update and keep track of everything and i have a small grow in comparison, but i cant imagine how you do it. Good job!!!

3.) Thank you for all the new tricks and tips that i learned from reading your posts.

I completely second that! By watching how you do it, I can hopefully modify some of what you do to increase my yield as well as my knowledge about my favorite plant!

As someone who just grew bushes (trees actually, ugh) is and trying sog next go around, what exactly is scary about the idea of sea of green to you? I am very excited for donkey dick colas as far as the eye can see. :)

Pictures coming later tonight, been a little bit busy just staying alive lol................ Currently Week 7 starts for 3000w of plants tomorrow, and week 3 starts tomorrow for 4000 watts of the grapefruit diesels. We started with 6000w worth of them, and after males have 4000w left. I was expecting 3000w worth of ladies for it, so an extra entire light (+4 extras) is kinda nice! :)

Thanks :) SOG stuff belongs in their own thread indeed.............. I'll just say quickly, that regardless of *anything* on SOG techniques, most people wont do it in a commercial environment because of the USA Governments stance on "99 plants or more" being a mandatory minimum sentence.......................

No problem.
I do have one question though, do you use any type of software or "logs" to keep track of your op? If so any advice?
