totally agree and a bad feeding program will make yield suffer. This plant yields only 1.5oz per plant on the same feeding program that others are getting 2 to 2.3. If you look at my space and think that i harvest 74 plants a month, this is a massive difference. Granted the indica's go an additional 2 week so in a years time i am able to 2.2 more crops of this strain vs the others. Should i do the math and determine if i'm getting the same amount out of the strain?I too agree that yield has EVERYTHING to do with genetics!
So, on that note, if you decide you want to keep this plant, then my recommendation(s) would be to stop topping so many times, stop using boosters, tighten up your pruning tech, and switch to a medium that will give you a bigger root mass in smaller pots.
plant topping was a test we had done several times with this strain. with no topping i get a really tall christmas tree with a nice upper cola and the side branches not even getting anywhere near as close. with a single topping we have decent result but again a few christmas trees per pot. the method that gave the best results was an initial topping early in veg and a second topping a week before flower. Remove everything 2 feet below the new top and send into flower. produces a very even canopy and reduces the stretch.
tighten up your pruning tech...please give more details as to what you mean, i don't take offense, i'm seeking input.
about the medium, so we did a test... VermiFire vs Greenlight
plants look better in Greenlight, have better rootmass in Greenlight. But that was before we started using Aptus and the plants using Aptus and VermiFire are in better shape than the ones with Greenlight and Humboldt. So this is a test we will have to perform again. I have a feeling that we need a much fluffier soil for this plant. It has been my thought the entire time. Next round of this strain will be in Greenlight again.
About boosters...so just give it a simple 2 part nutrient throughout the grow cycle? kinda like deprive it of excess and let it figure it out on it's own from stored sugars in the leaf? so agree with this one as outdoors this plant exceeds anything with just the sun and a bag of dirt. hell a clone in the ground does better than we've ever done indoors.
