If you use good training, you'll just end up with some bigger yield on some of the bigger ones, while keeping all the vertical growth in check, so there all coming up around the same heights.
Same here, I mix up nutes in 1 liter jugs, then I do things like hitting P, K and N individually in "layered" phases, and measuring out quantities based on individual growth stage, overall appearance, color, ph run-off (if needed) and whatever other information I can collect. It's an imperfect method for sure, and I probably could benefit immensely from better record tracking, but I want to develop a keen eye for each individual deficiency, (or toxicity) and knowing exactly where I'm sitting, based mostly upon appearance, and recall of what I've already done to it.
It's a different way of doing things, but I'm getting there. Maintaining a large buffer capacity is a really important step in maintaining good control over a "soil" type of environment. I think things like dolomite lime, calcium carbonate and bases like Potassium hydroxide and dipotassium phosphate really give me more control over everything.
The normal progression is for organics tends toward pH acidic, (at least for me), products of bacterial, microbial breakdown, so compensating for that during the flowering cycle seems to be the lyncpin for organic soils.
2 4ft agromax should easily do a 5x5. Just be very careful start very short exposure times.Yea, so since the newer lights, I've got 2 really productive grow area's, can't wait for the agromax 4 footers to arrive, that will help things along with resin, and give another layer of protection against mold. I really want to work on ramping up the terpene production at this point, I think.
Having them coming in rapid succession also gives you opportunity to try key treatments, or novel ideas "one up" and if it works, you simply integrate it into the regime, seems a much faster learning curve, for sure. That's one of the big things I love about this style, because I can try out new strategies. I've had a few "game changer" or "eureka moment in just the last few months doing this, so no doubt, there's much to learn about this strategy.
I'm hoping to get to a point, were I can plant something into a hole outside this spring and not have to fuss about them very much, just plant a small seedling into peat pot's, then transfer into hole's filled with good draining soil and some "super soil" mix that will carry them close to the harvest, then just do some fine tuning at the end, stuff like kelp, fossilized bat shit that will last the entire time. I can even check on them with my drones if need be, and draw much less attention to the area, and have more time for planting others.
After I pump these GG#4 seeds out, I'm going to take a break on the seeding and focus on fine tuning my flowering with this new technique, I've got probably 10,000 to 100,000 seeds, just too many to count. LOL So I can cherry pick plants, Hopefully. If I can get some major amount of plants into the ground, and help make some good quanity of medicine.

I think it's probably double or tripling my output doing it this way. Hopefully, this technique will transfer into an outdoor setting as well.
You keep saying mold and other protection. Uvb only causes stress and increased thc production (not other cannabanoids we know of). Uvc kills mold.
it will also harm some materials over time. Plastics, mylar, panda film. Etc.
And of course burn human skin.
Uvb will also aid in pests and mold. The difference is the exposure time. All UV is damaging the difference is the exposure level needed.You keep saying mold and other protection. Uvb only causes stress and increased thc production (not other cannabanoids we know of). Uvc kills mold.

Can't state this enough. I would not even go in the room when its running.Not to mention your eyes hardcore

Yup always appreciate it... ALWAYS.Either way, I love the fact that MiMed is such a skeptic about mainstream grow stuff. It really does keep us grounded and makes us dig deeper for the truth behind certain claims. And I mean that sincerely, not a jab.
Wish these things would show maturity soon. Gonna get crowded.
Absolutely they were planted 3 weeks apart. As this grow is not so much for yield as just finding a mom. I'm likely to just prune and let the DC and Gelato catch up.What’s your plan for that? I’m wondering cause I’ve had some strains that just don’t show until the first or second week of 12/12. Do you think you’ll have large gaps between strains or plants showing maturity?
Might it be at all effective to rearrange things to distribute ideal lighting to younger plants and still effective but marginal light to the more advanced plants for a short time (like a week or so)? If rearranging isn't an option, I wonder if some kind of translucent netting or dome over the older ones would create a kind of "pergola" effect, allowing plenty of light for survival and further development, but moderating the lighting to regulate for a somewhat slower pace while the younger plants enjoy an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of delicious luminescence.Absolutely they were planted 3 weeks apart.

I think the older plants would stretch if I reduce the light intensity. What I could do is hang some heavy blue light to keep em down but I'm to lazy.Might it be at all effective to rearrange things to distribute ideal lighting to younger plants and still effective but marginal light to the more advanced plants for a short time (like a week or so)?

Probably overthinking things and pruning is the simpler option, but it would be an interesting experiment.
