Re: Jorge Cervantes on Grower Snobs

Thank you, excellent post *****.
When I went outta town for medicine last week and seen my friend's grow room & (OGkush)plants that I hadn't seen in about a year, I kind of reacted like Ace Ventura when he walks into that room with all the stuffed animal heads. I tripped out because they're trying out 3 gallon buckets with shredded rockwool and 8" air cooled (all reflectors are pinned directly to the ceiling because of perceived difficulty raising and lowering with duct!) 1000w 240v Lumatek lights.
OG stretches like a motherfudger in most stages of growth but these plants got so tall in veg because of the lights being so high that the light cycle had to be switched from 18/6 to 24/0. To top it all off there was a load of algae in every single bucket from being watered too often and the plants were as gangly as can be with leaves browning up in various spots. There were about 6 whiteflies buzzing around the room.
I wanted to say something so bad but I'm the rook, and this person has been growing for years and years so I couldn't figure out a way to ease it on in. I also figured they end up with extremely danky stuff so why bother. It was amazing to think though that they could probably double their yield with just a few adjustments.
