Again law i am not trying to confront you... growing weed can be done in many ways i m just taking it from my experience is all..
I so wish i had harvest results of removing leafs and non what a difference it was i have never had mold issues as that is a disease only time i would see it is more of damping off in seedling stage ,, Yes Grease monkey i am playing around with no till this in green house playing with over 300 gallon raised beds this year is going to be Fun
i am moving away from indoor growing all together like i said probably breed indoor , and that is under low power regular as well as Fem
this is presently what i got going besides the 2 in flower is 12 monster cropped clones Cherry pie for green house, as well as germinating 12 Purple train wreck x Pakistani chitral kush
Some pictures of Diy self sufficient green house i am View attachment 3614384 View attachment 3614385
NICE, hey what has worked REALLY well for me and my buddy, we've used big-ass 250 gallon fabric pots, and have used the same soil for two yrs now, no-till.
The key is lots of worms, and lots of legumes, after harvest, dump some legumes on the topsoil, cover with a layer of soil and let them grow all winter long (assuming it's warm enough)
if you can get indigenous earthworms as opposed to the composting reds those are the preferred type of worms, as they eat they literally shit out aerated castings, they burrow up and down leaving little tiny "gopher piles" of castings on the surface, that's how you know you have the right type of worms, the reds just compost whatever they are eating but don't burrow up and down much.
Around late feb or early march you chop all the legumes down cover in a thin layer of topsoil and they breakdown, adding their accumulated nitrogen back to the soil as they degrade.
Another option I've been toying with is putting comfrey in there as well, and chopping that down with the legumes.
Comfrey is the shit.. perfect addition to a no-till, problem is comfrey grows like a mofo... and you can't kill it
heres some pics of the pots before harvest, think he had ummm, 99...
.. yea that's right officer... 99 exactly..100_0820.JPG

Yes vertical on one horizontal on other metal parabolic hoods open ended just like a umbrella but 5 feet round :) and all brand new at the time next grow same strain Afghanistan 2 k only 6 pounds dry but ran into some issues with plants middle of flower but that is my record which i never beat
the Vertical Craze actually was when the power prices blew up in Cali which Forced many to go vertical less power grows this goes way back to the founding fathers the likes of crusty , Heath etc ,, but to this day i think many are chasing the dream its not what it can yield its the possibility of what it can yield If we look on every single vertical grow on the net and the 135 percent more space if that meant anything which it really does not , then there would be no debate on which is a better method of growing ..
Cause i can guarntee you i would destroy any vert grow 1 k vs 1 k simply put you can only surround so many plants in a donut where i can put 40 - 50 plants in a room and even if it did 1.0 0z per plant which i know it would do much more with 5 week veg were taking 50 oz 3 .125 pounds
You will never get that vertical 4 plant donut lol cause plants would out grow the light source and most importantly would be larf
Again which in many cases is another myth run wild that Vertical does not produce larf actually it probably produces more larf
Vertical growing is a choice on which works best for a growers situation ,, But its not in any means a grow that will out yield Horizontal ,, and this is from looking at every documented grow on the internet .. Facts
If that was the Case that vertical blew horizontal there be no debate right ,,
then we would not be seeing grows like this ) and i guarntee you there is not or never will be a vert grow that watt for watt will touch it :) in yields and turn arounds View attachment 3611114
I started growing vert before it was cool. I'm a vert hipster. I find that challenges my understanding, but I'd love you to prove me wrong because assembling my vert systems is a BITCH and a half.

I watched the authors video. That did not look like weak, larfy, bud.

Would I pay $500 for the book? Unless the book can independently perform fellatio, make dinner, and tell me I look great, I'm not dropping that kind of cash.

Definitely interesting stuff that goes against the conventional wisdom.
 
We religiously have customers getting 2.5-3lbs a light at our shop. Synthetic nutrients, DE 1000 watt lights at 1250 watts, perfect humidity, temp, and co2 combos. 50 gal smart pots 4 months veg.
Shit, I pull that with 3gal air pots and a 4-5 week veg time. Same setup as you describe.

Lawlus this is constructive criticism do not take it as i am attacking you i do not have pictures any more as new pc but have done grows of all kinds using magnetics, de leafing, miracle grow a lot and from know the strain and what she was capable of i saw first hand reduction in yield from plants i stripped leafs off
Truth is everyone is always worried about amount of nutrients, many times all over feeding truth is ..
Its not about the amount you give them its all about the least amount you give them and plants maintain being healthy
once people realize that there yields double ,, The yellowing is normal in plants myth is just that crock of shit not true its opposite its maintaining a healthy plant as long as you can and that alone will not only bring out the best a strain is capable of giving it will also give you the best possible yield that strain is capable of

just saying and yes no till has thrown some curves at me ,, specially indoor out door never a issue but fine tuning it i am thinking my issues are more in the richness of whats coming out of my 3 worm bins so my carbon cycle is unbalanced in door but also i am truthfully moving away from indoor growing all together and more into full year green house growing presently building a diy self sustaining green house that will in fact produce heat in winter growing months With cob supplemental lighting all solar and in ground natural heating lines :) eventually only thing growing indoor is seedlings and breeding under low power View attachment 3614327
Sorry to but in, but your plants are gorgeous.
May I ask how long you veg them for?

It gives me a headache when I read a long post that just completely disregards any punctuation it makes me think the writer is either ignorant or just soo self involved they don't have time for silliness like making what they write readable and that their readers aren't worth the trouble of a period or comma and if they have to reread sentences over and over because they don't make sense without a hard stop well tough shits...

Seriously, you're writing for an audience. Have the courtesy of at least trying to make your posts non-migraine inducing.

That being said...I saw the videos. The dude is growing mad thick heavy colas. And defoliating in a way that i would have to be premedicated for anxiety before I could do it to my own plants. Paradigm shifts are usually not accepted by the old ruling class, they occur when those old timers fade away and the evidence remains. See Steady State Theory as an example.

I've often seen the same shade of beautiful dark almost bluish type green color from outdoor "cold" grows
it's weird, you can tell a lot by the simple color of the plants.
Those are beautiful
For some reason the shade of the green seems to correspond to the temps, here where it routinely gets to 105 in the summer it's nearly impossible to keep up, the plants are a lighter green and seem to take as much nitrogen as you can give them (organically that is)
but in the colder temps, they get that nice dark shade, same with the bud color, I mean we all know cold temps can bring out purple and bluish colors.
My only complaint with colder temps is how slow the buds seem to develop, at least for me

Here is the stalk from no till indoor grow, i should of took a picture of out door never had them trunks and i mean tree trunks as in stalk
I think i almost have my soil perfect this plant was 2 weeks under T5 Ho and 2 weeks under 600 watt presently second week of flower sp like 6 weeks from transplanting clones and what plants look like there in 20 gallon home made pots

This years greenhouse grow plans are experimenting with Urea and some Anhydrous Ammonia with nitrification inhibitors

Ps: some clones taken for this out door season including purple train wreck x Pakistani chitral kush

And making dinner and telling you you look great are negotiable.

Harvest all-year-round.
Monthly, Weekly, Bi-weekly, or daily harvests.... perpetual growing can be adjusted and scaled. Easy peasy.
I have 5 harvest of 1-4 plants at around 5ft high, two toppings in my grow room now and a veg room with different strains waiting in line.
