But your veg time will be longer for the 3 to yield the same as the 10, correct?
But your veg time will be longer for the 3 to yield the same as the 10, correct?It's about wattage, you can get as much off 3 plants under a 1000 watt lamp as you can 10 under a 1000 watt lamp.
Do you want 3 monster plants with dense buds or do you want 10 plants with so so buds, it's all light distribution.
Look really nice bro. Could just be the picture but they look a little taller than I would like. I would have bent the taller tops in veg and that would have brought up your side arms, similar to topping but without the smaller buds and smaller weaker branches that topping produces.
Thanks, as does yours, Those are a 32 day veg from rooted cuttings before flip, and yes they are 6' tall, in 2.5 gal pots under 825 watts of de hps in a 4x8 floor area. Many ways to grow this fine herb.Look really nice bro. Could just be the picture but they look a little taller than I would like.
Tickling! What! Seriously! High five! Beneficial! When I get plants for my yard from the nursery, I do the same.I tickle my roots when up potting. doesn't seem to slow them down in coir. Roots are in an ever evolving cycle, that's part of the learning curve to container growing.
you wrote that backwards. No worries:)anything outside the square are going to take from what could be absorbed by the plants in the square
HID 1g per watt. LED vary, with yours 1.5g per watt. These are goals, you can be + or -.I don't recollect what the benchmark yield expectations there are with 1000w hps/MH but right now I've got 900 watts of 3590 Cobs and I should be doing better in a 14 week run (plus or minus). "They" say I should be getting a gram and a half to 2 grams per watt and I'm barely getting one but I basically yield the same amount if I use 2.5 or 5 gallon pots or grow 10 or 20 plants. It seems a watt is a watt.
I transplant once from solo cups at 2 maybe 3 weeks to their final pot and they don't care at all. Transplant stress is negligible especially prior to my forcing them to do my bidding. I bend and twist and supercrop, pinch and fim them and as long as they have good light and good growing conditions they quickly rebound from any physical assault. This is one plant that shrugs off stress if life is good. Tougher than shoeleather. Ha.. growing a good veggie garden is tougher than growing weed if the conditions are good.
Obviously you can do whatever you enjoi, and I don't wanna go back and forth. If you don't think allowing those beautiful roots you have to grow continuously is a better option vs confining them and allowing them to start circling... Then so be it, I ain't mad at you. :) do you!@brazel. I see NO detrimental transplant shock going from solo cups to 3 gallon pots when done between 2 and 3 weeks and I tease the roots a bit b4 dropping them into their new home.
I'm running 18 fifty watt 3590's all putting out 3500k from start to finish. Every 6 Cobs have their own driver and their own DIY frames. All 18 Cobs are pretty much 12 inches on center. I've got another 300 watts on the way and I'll be tweaking all the frames so that the Cobs are 15 inches on center with a 24 inch red T bulb down the middle of each frame. The pics here 2 week old plants. Unless your overly aggressive combing out the roots they don't even know they've been uprooted. View attachment 765722
I will admit that i train aggressively but even then rebound time doesn't amount to much. If you can think of a training technique I've tried it and the girls don't mind much. Remember were talking about MJ which is really an easy plant to grow. I have a lot more difficulty growing good broccoli and egg plant than I do MJ although when I DO run into trouble I don't cry over my broccoli. Here are a few pics of harshly manipulated girls.

I don't know about anyone else but I start a lot more good femmed seeds than I could ever use. Right now I have over 40 seeds in paper towels. Anything that pops will go into Pro Mix with no nutes and will get grown out for a couplafew weeks and I will reduce the number down by half based on how they look and will either trash or give away anything that doesn't make the grade. My goal is to have 10 to 15 vigorous girls and I would love to make 900 grams of bud under 900 watts or even 1350 grams. Good luck to all.
You've ran scrog and lst?@brazel. I see NO detrimental transplant shock going from solo cups to 3 gallon pots when done between 2 and 3 weeks and I tease the roots a bit b4 dropping them into their new home.

2 to 3 weeks isn't that bad but if you could transplant before your roots circle, you'd see better results. Test one plant next growObviously you can do whatever you enjoi, and I don't wanna go back and forth.
