well for any of you that remember this post, it was one gypsy and i did yeaaaars ago. LIke quite possibly 2000. anyway it was a nice hidden little garden on the coastal area of the British columbia. I had just met gypsy and figured im gonna take this guy to a realy cool garden> Luckily my buddies were rocking the bchashplant, aka champagne.
I will have a hard time remembering the specific's so i will call my buddy and get all the specifics, what kind of lights, space, ballasts, food, etc.
For now its just eye candy.
well i do remember the room was 12x10 feet. There were 10 1000 watt light bulbs, and their reservoirs were 55 gallon drums sunk into the concrete of the basement. THe ballasts where not covered, but framed and placed outside the room to eliminate heat. ALl the crazy ribbons you see, is so that the arms didnt snap off. MY buddy came into the room one day and found almost a 1lb of arms on the ground. Each one of these plants by the way will yeild 2 plus lbs in these conditions, ie they usualy pull 20lbs out of the 10 lights, but this particular time i believe they vegged a little to long (16 days instead of 10) and got monsters. the dry weight ended up being 22lbs.
YOu can see in one of the pictures we had to basicaly crawl in on our bellies to shoot these plants, i show gypsys legs and you can see all around him is buckets and plant matter. I also have one shot where you can see gypsy's face in the background that is to give you an idea of just how big those lower buds are, about the size of his head. the top cola's were close to the size of my waist.
Lets get the show started
