From what I understand, SC Labs does a lot of on-site work at a lot of massive commercial grows. I am confident that I could eventually find the right opportunity. I haven't even really researched the company, yet. I've seen a few YouTube videos and they look really legit. I hope my buddy knows that I am still in school and have not received a degree, yet.

Okay, for my OG project, I'm gonna use Roots Orgainc Original (one big bag), 5 gallon bag of NF Coco and some perlite... How much perlite should I use? I was thinking like 20%-30%?
What is more important in your experiences and opinions? Root density or oxygen to root zone? I feel like less perlite in my mix will allow the roots to grow a lot more densely, but more perlite will allow for better access to oxygen.
What do you all think?
I know OG is a pretty low yielder (just didn't expect it to be this low), I of course want yield like any grower, but flavor, aroma and smoke texture are all very important to me, as well. On this run, I am predicting yield to be a problem and am looking for a way to compensate for this. I can only legally have 12 mature, atm, but prefer to try and keep numbers down because the amount of water I'll be using for 3.2 gallon air pots (green base) will be insane! My tap ppm is at around 230-250 (varies), I usually use distilled water that I buy in gallon jugs from the store, but this isn't sounding too practical for my current situation. This is why experience will always beat research, the technical side of things are a much greater variable than nutes, chemical reactions, etc.
Is 250 ppm a bit too high? What if I use distilled for the clones and youngsters and tap for late veg and all thru bloom? Sound like a solid game plan?
Any experience you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

I came back to tell everyone that I was wrong about my definition of 'epistasis' and Hank could be on to something with his hypothesis. I was doing some research: An epistatic trait has the ability to mask a dominant trait. So Hank may have found the answer! My definition of epistasis what incorrect, the definition I have was for a 'polygenic' trait. I would love to blame it on Merriam-Webster dictionary, since their inaccurate definition reinforced my erroneous definition, but the truth is that I had my definitions mixed-up before I even googled the term.
I apologize, Hank, you were correct. Be more assertive, damnit! Lol

It turns out that this term is commonly mis-interpreted or in accurately defined.

BUT!!! If a gene or allele pair is controlled by another epistatic gene, can it really be considered monogenic? Because more than one gene is controlling its expression. It involves two locus, therefore it cannot be properly indentified as monogenic. It would fall under the classification of being polygenic.
I still hold to my hypothesis that the 'auto-flower' trait is NOT monogenic.
