So I gotta chime in here on behalf of Team Auto Mechanics and our growing methods
I mean no disrespect to anyone I'm just trying to answer the questions that were asked about the method of growing my team is so fond of so if I'm wrong here please don't hesitate to correct me...
Math wasn't my best subject in school but I think I understand square footage and by my calculations a plant that is 6.5ft x 3.5ft comes out to be 22.75 sq ft total...If said plant produced 11.6ozs that means you got about 1/2oz per square foot
I watched the video of Green75's Ogre being harvested and followed his grow & I'd say his plant was maybe 2ft tall and maybe 1.5ft wide, just estimating of course but I'm confident that's real close if not over the correct measurements, so 2ft x 1.5ft=3sq ft and at 6ozs means he got 2oz per square foot
In which case a 6.5ftx3.5ft plant would of had to produce 45.5 Ounces of Bud to equal what Green75's plant produced per sq ft
The Lsd 25 I grew for this contest(pic above) produced 4.5ozs and was around 16 inches tall and 18 inches wide, that comes out to 2sq ft and 2.25ozs per sq ft. I topped it at 13 days and after that left it alone for a while because it had root rot and I didn't want to stress it further. It recovered and was a beautiful bushy plant at 30 days old & was already stretching in early flower.

I posted pics here & on my home forum and everyone said how pretty she was and healthy looking & I thought so too...but...I just wasn't satisfied with what I was looking at. She was pretty, but she was just a normal looking plant and having come up learning under Green75's methods from day one, it was driving me nuts to see her like that lol. She was boring, just another pretty face, a text book weed plant. Yeah she would grow some nice bud but I had let her go without my usual extensive/extreme lst and in my mind I had to fix that, in flower or not, she had the potential to be more. The next day I did this to her...

Now I personally think it's cool to grow a plant the size of a tree. I mean no disrespect at all in my argument. I just don't get what y'all don't get about all this.
I'm sure plenty of folks have gotten more bud than all of us on naturally grown plants but as cool as it is to grow a big plant, it's just not convenient for most indoor growers due to space but other than that, I think some of the appeal in growing like we do is that it's just cool as fuck! It's different and fun and interesting. You find yourself anxiously waiting to see how the plant will react. We often talk of how amazing these plants are and how the stress just seems to bring out the best in them. It's also cool because of the reaction you get from people, because of the idea that you can't do that stuff to autoflowers, you just can't.
Yeah the plants don't get big but they are nothing but buds!! Big, dense, fat, heavy buds with no stretchy stems in between & no having to move the lights all the way to the ceiling or having to get shorter plants up to where they need to be. Not to mention there's a lot to be said for doing shit different than everyone else is doing it. There's nothing exceptional in doing what everyone else is already doing. I don't go to the extreme, as of yet, that the other members of my team do with their plants but I salute them because it's people who aren't afraid to break molds and look crazy to the rest of the world who figure out cool new shit sometimes. Like Green says, "Don't think outside the box, think like there is no box."
Respect & Love to my Crew...@Green75
