Hi all, working on my second grow. My first grow was DWC in a 3 x 3 tent and I had some deficiency/PH issues that I could never fully rectify, but still came out with a good yield of 4.5oz dry. That was with a Northern Lights Special seed from KC Brains. I am now working on growing a Barney’s Farm Pineapple Chunk from seed in my new 5 x 5 x 8 tent. I also upgraded the light from a single 260W quantum to running dual 260W quantums on a light mover. Mixed and matched the color spectrums so it has two 3500K boards and two 2700K boards.
My first grow was left to go all natural and ended up quite bushy and was about 3 feet wide and 30” tall when I harvested. I would have to go back and look in my logs, but I think I had that one in veg until about 15” tall. My current plant has been in 12/12 for just over a week and was in veg for 6 weeks (started counting after 3 sets of real leaves). I also decided to try hot soil for this grow as it would hopefully be easier (and it has :)). I did top this plant when the 6th node was starting to show. I topped it above the third node and then removed the first set of lateral branches to leave four main branches. I was going to top after the second node, but one side of the first set of lateral branches looked really small and stunted so I topped higher and removed the stunted growth. Right now the plant is 35” tall and about 4 feet wide.
After this grow, I have 5 Aurora Indica seeds from Nirvana that I want to grow. My plan is to start all five and then pick the best four. I keep reading about people growing multiple plants in a single grow tent, but in my experience, I don’t see how that is possible. See below picture of the current grow.
Finally, my questions... is it worth growing more than one plant if I have to grow them smaller to fit all 4 in the tent as opposed to growing one single larger plant at a time? Will I yield more with 4 plants at a time than one plant at a time? Are Indica varieties typically more bushy than Sativa?
At this point in the game I am not too worried about my grams to watts ratio but I do want to maximize the use of my lights and my tent. Thanks for taking a look and any feedback is appreciated.
