Grow Mediums 2000 Watt Perpetual Hydroponic AutoFlower ScrOG

[don]

My glass jar actually came out to 17 ounces dry curing at 60% RH. Very pleasant surprise.
Got another 10 ounces in my second jar now.
Got enough hanging to fill up another jar.
Still have (about) 7 plants out of 14 to harvest.

Definitely pulling 4 lbs this round.
Still not a GPW, but a pound per light is fine with me. Running 3-600w, and 1-400w.
These are Autoflowers! 92 days from seed to harvest.
Un-Fucking-Real.

I started growing right around 4-20-2012.
Never would have thought I'd be pulling weight like this so soon.

you have come along way the gpw will come with might even get close to 1.2!

I think i bet explain some thing on here Tav my man on the GPW efficiency
Your high watts per sqft are hurting your gpw it not a bad thing ill explain
ill use a quick example
4 plants under a 600w pulls 600g 1gpw
but under 1000w you get 800-900g 0.8-0.9 gpw which would you rather have?
Im sure you could pull more out of your system but bear that in mind^

you could increase effiency by for example using 3x600w hps which would save 200w and hit you closer that that level but would you yield less who knows
or a change of strain
you could try switching out 1x 400w with a mh to see if the mixed spectrum with lower par bumps yield by boost the veg growth ( it may go either way)

regardless 4lb is 4lb

Oh yeah, I hear ya. I've been pretty barbaric in my light use actually. I've thought about taking a light out and seeing what the yield would be. Not really going for GPW, but I don't have any doubt that Think Different could do it.

IMHO

1st quality
2nd quantity

After that bonus / bragging rights

Definitely. I will say TD is some killer smoke. I run it to the bitter end to try to squeeze in some sedative effect, but you still can't sleep on it. Very up high with a good stone. Never seem to build a tolerance to it either. Been smoking on it for months now, and it still rocks me out. TD is killer smoke, and is a stealth cash croppers wet dream.

People out there hating on auto's just don't get it.
2200 watts in a 4x8 tent with only 14 plants and pull just shy of 5lbs in 90 days from seed to harvest with photoperiod plants.

Shit, is it even possible?

FAK Tavi man you got me more than psyched on the TD. im looking for the strain that i cant sleep on!! epic to know man ill prob be placing and order for some of those beans real soon!!!!!! i dont got no reps man but ill give you as many pretend reps as you like REPREPERPERPERPEPREPRPEREPERP you are hero man thanks for the inspiration!!

Alright Family. Here's the final update on this Think Different Grow.
This grow has exceeded my wildest expectations. Most of you know that I haven't grown anything but TD indoors. I wanted to stick with one strain starting out until I felt I had a pretty good grip on it before moving onto something else. I didn't want to complicate stuff playing with different strains.
At this point I've gotten as far with TD as I think I ever will. Not saying I won't grow it again, but it's time for something new.

I broke GPW on this grow. Pulled OVER 2352 grams using 2200 watts of HPS.

5.25 Pounds​

I gave away about an ounce of fluffy stuff that I didn't feel like trimming and isn't counted in total weight.

I was shooting for 3.5 at the beginning of this grow, but as I started harvesting I could tell I had WAY more than that.

I've always heard people asking if TD, or Auto's in general were capable of 1GPW. I was always sure TD was capable, just wasn't sure I was. I figured someone else would beat me to it.
Anyways, TD IS a GPW plant - Period.
I'm no expert by any measure. This is my third grow.
Scrog is amazing, and 3-600's and 1-400 instead of 2 1000's definitely made for a great light spread in my opinion. I've never run 1000's so I have no knowledge about that, but if I was going to do the same amount of plants in the same amount of space and expect the same results again I would go with the same light setup I used this time. I'd probably change out the 400 for a 600 but that may actually just cost more money. The most weight came from under the 400. I bought it used with a Hortilux bulb. The other 600's are Ebay setups with cheap bulbs. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but it makes me wonder if I could get the same results with 4-400 watt Hortilux bulbs.
If anything, I'll be moving up in wattage so I'll leave that to someone else to find out.

Anyways, thanks to everyone who's urged me along and threw me good karma. Thanks to AFN for being my home and getting me growing. Thanks to Seymour Buds for inspiring me to grow in ganga in the first place. Thanks to DP for TD.
Alright, it's not the Emmy's, lol.

Here's some pics of the last week or so. It was BUSY as hell.

Definitely 56K DEATH!! Warning.​

1.1, lol. Like you could see into the future Man. My mind is just blown. I'm humbled. Like your next post goes on to say though, I'm sure a professional grower could pull the same with less light.
