About my grow setup: I'm currently growing 8 plants, four Gorilla Glue and four Do Si Do, scrogged in a 4'x8' area. Each plant was topped four times for 16 tops apiece and is in a 7 gallon smart pot filled with BioBizz lite mix. I'm using the complete heavy 16 line of nutrients except I swapped their roots for House & Garden Roots excelerator and added Terpenez, I pH to 6.0-6.3. Lights are two Fluence Spydr2p, total room is 6'x12'x7'. CO2 from bottles @1300ppm, 80f / 45%rh day 74f / 40% night.
The differences in how the plants were grown: When transplanting from 5 gallon to 7 gallon pots (I will be going straight from 2g to 7g in the future as opposed to 1g to 5g to 7g), I repotted 6 of my plants at first. Two of the Gorilla Glues weren't quite ready, as they had been cut a week or so after the others, so they got potted two weeks later and I forgot to add mycorrhizae to the soil like did on the other six. One week after that all four Gorilla Glues (four plants further back in the first picture below) were very similar in size. In total the first six plants spent 5 weeks vegging in 7g pots and the second two spent 3 weeks vegging in 7g pots.
In flower, the size difference became more and more apparent. I haven't cut yet so I don't have a weight in but I'll let the video below speak for itself. The left half is the two plants that were potted earlier with mycorrhizae in the soil, the right half are the other two without it. The only other difference is that the left two plants are exposed to a strong upward air flow from a floor fan, which I've read can make a huge difference.
My question: Which factor is the most important in the size difference apparent in the video? Is it the later transplant even though the plants were of similar size at the beginning of flower? Is it the mycorrhizae in the soil? Or is it more likely because of the upward air flow?
