1 and 2 gal -usually 2. The one in the back right corner was not topped, and flipped day 10. The rest were topped once about day 13-14.
Do you ever run regular seeds and if so, was it hard to yank males in time to not pollinate the ladies?
I'll share my experience there - I've had zero issues pulling males before they pollinate the ladies. Hermies can be more challenging when all of a sudden you have a single male flower popping up on an otherwise female plant.
I usually do reg seeds. Once a male shows, it takes about a week before it blows.
I see you turn them very early, I don't see the point in growing them so small. Do you need to keep them short & small for a reason? I can also harvest a plant a week if I stagger flowering but I like big bushes and veg for 2 months at least. I have this Gelato I took pics of yesterday at 9 weeks in flower, I'll get as much off of this one plant as you do your entire crop. I'm just asking as I don't understand the idea of small plants being beneficial in any way.
For one thing, its a lot easier trimming. As for yield, I can get 2oz/sqft with a 14-21 day veg. What kind of yield do you get?
For me the reason would be variety. I can’t just smoke the same thing all the time and for every occasion. I’d like to keep mine small so I can grow more of them, yield should work out the same more or less right? 6 one ounce plants or 1 six ounce plant.
That's the best part. I like to try lots of diff seeds. I still have old seeds that have never been tested.
I've no idea of what sqft yield I get, I fill jars, never weigh it, I could guess but I'd probably hedge. I just look at 3 week old plants and wonder why anyone would flip such a tiny plant when another few weeks would double your yield per plant. I had a bud that turned what hr called stick plants 100 at a time. Legal wise he'd be fked if he got caught compared to my 4 -5 big ones but he was like you turn them fast...he couldn't get me to do it. I'm stubborn and it just looks wrong......Each there own I just wondered why
6 times the work of one as well, I'd guess conservatively I get about 1/4 lb per plant, 6 plants = 1- 1/2 lbs in 4 .5 months if I harvest them all at once, compared to 6 oz in 3 months if I flip at 3 weeks
If limits were different, I''d grow different too. I'm allowed 6 in flower. The 3 week plant I flip, would take up twice the space if I let it veg another 2 weeks. So instead if 6 plants, I'd have room for only 3.
Is that in a 4 x 4? It's very strain dependent, but I've done solid 1lb crops in 3 months using 300w in 2 x 4. A SOG would make even more, but would be over the limit. If I could only do 1 plant, it would take me 5-6 months to get a pound
I don’t grow for yield though, only quality and variety. Variety is important so I’m not smoking the same bud all the time. Switch it up throughout the day and night depending on what type of high I’m going for.
buckle up; ready for take off.
Don’t scare me like that
