From where I'm sitting, it looks like the weight is there. GG4, even when scrog'd produces nice dense buds. I only got 6.8oz from mine, I was shooting for 8 but had some issues with that grow. A 4x4 = 16sf, almost twice the area of a 3x3, so I would say a pound is definitely doable.
I posted about that grow back when it happened, found a pic -here- if that link works. Sifting through old notes, mine only vegged for about 47 days, and I was experimenting with training techniques, trying to keep it really short.

well here some pics of the progress I made last night after work still 2 more ladies that need to go into their homes as you can see they really need it... Sadly I have been neglecting them because of freaking insane busy at work. But the other 2 ladies will be going in today... Not really sure where I am going to squeeze in TWO more SIP's in there lol. I will have to get busy putting together my other COB fixture which is basically a copy of this one. (5 CXB3590's 250 watts). Once they get used to their new homes I will be topping multiple times to make many viable clone sites. I welcome any advise or constructive criticism! thanks all and keep the SIP thread alive!!

Maybe just grow them in regular pots for a side-by-side sip/non-sip comparison? Maybe that's nothing new, I haven't been around here regularly, LOL... regular pots would take up less floor space. Just sayin'

I "stole" it from someone else, I'm sure. I like to think of it as "open source". I think my first ones were amalgams of other ones I read about, I made a handful of different designs early on.

I have basically been doing that I think for a few years also
Eh I have done all the gimic pots.. SIPs are best.. I even have a set of air pots that cost me like 100 bucks back when they first came out and were all the hype.. I have hempy buckets fabric pots... I have tried all pretty much but DWC and aerogrowing which since I want to be all organic I dont really think is viable... I wouldnt mine trying out an aquaponics type thing that sounds fun..but dam so much work hahaha and my luck.. the ones in the smaller pots would be the females I really wanted to keep lol I just need to be not lazy and build my new light lol

HA! Yeah exactly... never going back! I also have been looking through your thread.. I think you are running a very similar soil mix as myself... I have recently added ground gypsum as well due to a lot of the organic guys on here swearing by its value. I cant wait to get something into flower! but will probably be close to another month for me

if you dont yet have one I would advise you to get a worm farm! nothing better for living soil then fresh worm castings! AND it makes the best compost teas for breeding that micro herd!

here is my soil mix... approx... it has been used once or twice and re amended
pete moss 7.5 gal
worm castings 3.75 gal
compost (sadly i had to use organic promix here as i had moved and lost my established pile) 3.75 gal
perlite 7.5 gal
lime 3 cups
glacial rock dust 12 cups
thats my base
then i mix my amendments together as below
kelp meal 6 cups
epsoma tomato tone 3 cups
alfalfa meal 3 cups
neem meal 3 cups
crab meal 3 cups
finely ground egg shells about 3 cups
azomite about a cup
I then take a total of 7.5 cups of the amendment mix and add it to the base and let it sit for at least 4 weeks...
I have also recently added 2 year composted cattle manure as well as the gypsum I was talking about... I think too some more ground oyster shell since I was seeing Calcium def.

yes I do run one, but I don't do teas anymore either, believe me. if u run a sip, with this probiotics crap, u won't ever make one again either, I'm not a very good grower! and look at the results I'm getting!
this is what I get when I use my skills to save a girl!
now this is what I get when I go get high don't touch a dam thing, and mother nature and this method do what ever the hell it is it does!

and I worked my ass off trying to make that dam shit tumbling stick into a plant! I'm prolly going to feed it to my worms lmfao!
that big monster i didn't do a dam thing, I topped the rez with em1 and water when it went dry, nothing else! well it also has to be set up, but still don't take my word go see for yourself! all you organic growers already have everything!

so when you say probiotics.. do you just mean like living soil that has a nice layer of fungi on top under the top dressing? or is there something more too it...
