I just grow bro....
You are getting too stoney technical. FOLLOW YOUR HEART. Growing is more about being one with the girls, not number crunching (in my most humble of opinions). There is always room for improvement. Set your goal, and keep your eye on the prize.
Work with one strain for a while that you know is a good yielder and has the quality to boot, and I am sure you can hit your mark. Fuck we all even get lucky sometimes, right? My first run on a new system I hit an average of 1.3/600w, running a bunch of different strains. After that I shit the bed thanks to PM twice in a row. LOL.
Trying 2 figure that out would make my brain hurt.. That's way 2 much math 4 me..
Are you using Metal Halides for vegging?
One inch is kinda far between nodes imo
GOO, what up, hahaha, yea I realize alot of math is not fun for most ppl, fir me, its just a part of life we cant escape it like death. EVEERYTHING IS MATH.
Nice wifi frow, I got 2 phenos from last round i kept, one strechy fire dom and one squat white dom, I have 4 new wifi candidates going now, hopeing foe that special one with the best of both worlds. Thanks fir stoppin in.
Confu...
Yo Pauly, nahh man no MH veg under t5s for a bit, then in the flower room under HPS.
The strain im running is WIFI fire leaning, and a bit strechy.
question, would running mh in veg reduce the node space during flower strech(flowering under hps)?
I dont think i got to congats u on ur hightime photo, kudos, u always take kill photos!! ohh and nice1 on the horti grow. She looks bomb.

Twelve colas/ft2 is too many. They will be overcrowded and stretch. 4/ft2 is great for a cultivar that grows chunkier colas. Then you could shoot for 1/2 ounce colas. Then you would get two oz/ft2. Light up a 4x4 space with a 1000watt lamp, getting 32 oz per 1000watt light.
Unless you work with a cultivar maybe like the whitefires I see on the interwebs. I believe that cultivar would benefit from more than 4 colas/ft2.
The easiest thing for me to do has been to go to Home Depot, get the 4'x7' sheets of concrete mesh (6" grid) or a 50' roll of the same 6" grid (but then you would have to try to unroll it and get it to stay flat). You should try to have the top of the container 8" from the scrog screen. Otherwise you will waste time and growth. Check out everybody else's scrogs on the net.
You will have to install a second horticultural trellis 6-12"(ideally made of plastic) above the metal screen. You can bend the metal screen to make "wings" that project up 6-12" to affix the horti trellis to. If the colas get tall and floppy they will have the horti trellis to lean against. That will help with weight and quality if the colas do not fall down.
That's what I've been into lately.
Thanks Confuten1! Yes i believe so. Thats whats MH's are great for and from what i noticed it definetaly keeps the nodes closer even during flowering. I have seen a little stretch after inducing flowering but not nearly as much as if i used hps the whole time. Switching out bulbs from MH-HPS is the way to go. T-5's are great but i believe if you would have just added some MH lighting prior to flowering your node spacing would be much closer. I germ under cfl's "better heat source" then to T-5's then to the veg room under MH and then off to the HPS flowering room. Nice tight spacing between nodes. Nodes everywhere LOL! Try it if you can. I just made the switch recently and you can really see the results. Way more bud sites for sure :)
wtf is right, back off on the meds bro and grow marijuana.
Because their are sooooo many factors involved, numbers mean shit.

numbers mean shit, but thats what we are all after, numbers, final numbers...
WORD, Pauly, Ill be starting my veg cycle here shortly, Ima runn them under MH and give it a go. Thnx mang. I always jus assumed that it would only effect the plant structure in veg only. If it carries over to flower then ill b super stoked!
Confu...
.. My next run i will be using MH lighting 2 weeks into flowering and then switching out to HPS lighting.
