can you not think of any reasons why?
just by simply looking back through your posts. you've over fertilized, put your lights too low, had to upgrade your lights, had light burn, been battling aphids for most of the grow, topped numerous times, done heavy defoliation and lst multiple times during veg, had ph issues, temperature issues....
l'd suggest your low yeild was because of a multitude problems and not necessarily relevant to what the OP is asking.
Over fertilized how?? First grow I used double the amount (recirculating) and had no problems. Tinyyyy bit of tip burn but that’s about it. Second grow I used half the nutrients (drain to waste program) so how exactly was I over fertilizing when I fed them about 700ppm once per week. They were starved if anything.
lights too low? When? Where? Where was the light bleaching and damage showing that??? Where’s the light burn? I had them too high at one point (60cm) and then lowered the (30-40cm). I seriously think you got me confused with someone else
it all worked fine for my first grow. The light that apparently needed upgrading, the over fertilized plants. Etc. My first grow went great with all that stuff. The second grow was absolute shit and I feel it’s because of the major major defoliation that I did. Since when is basic LST responsible for hurting yields when I vegged for 2 months
where were my ph issues? I was at 5.75 to 6 the entire grow? So was I over feeding or under feeding due to my ph issues???
The only major, possibly negative thing I did different between grow 1 (3.5 oz per plant) and grow 2 (2 oz per plant) was major defoliation. Absolutely relevant to what the op is asking
I feel like defoliation and stripping the plant to nothing except a bud site is what caused my shit yields because I didn’t really overly struggle or fail at any other areas. I made a mistake or two and had a problem or two yeah. But the biggest, most significant one, I feel, was defoliation about 200 leaves at once, several times throughout the cycle with no recovery time. I tried asking and getting an answer here but not a single soul knew that very basic and apparently obvious knowledge. Learned that one myself the hard way over a period of 6 months. Awesome.
Gotta love forums and sharing knowledge so mistakes like that don’t happen and basic questions like that can be answered and not just ignored. Awesome communication we got here
