oh yaI have lots of 4’ T5 ballasts, 4’ LED’s and racks for my vegetable starts. I’m a farmer by trade. Two side by side on 18”x4’ shelves should be good yeah?
Hey, I do 4 in a 3x3 without problems & up to 8 in my 5x5 although 6 fits better. Its how you train them that matters. Different strain can fuck you up, Sativa's grow taller in stretch than Indica's do so if you mix strains and flip too late you can easily out grow your space.Yeah that’s what people say about 4 plants in a 3x3, but I’m gonna give it a shot anyways!
I don't keep mothers to continue the strain, I take a cut or 2 off a girl I'm about to flip, flower the donor mother plant and raise her children. 2 months later Mom is ready to harvest and I've 2 month old clones ready to flip. Take cuttings and continue flowering mom and raising the kids and the cycle continues until I tire of the strain and want new genetics.Oh yeah 8 now. I started with 9 and dropped one. I’m going to cull 4 more in another week or so and leave 4 to grow out. Planning to take cuttings from those 4 before flowering to keep a potential mother from the best one. Just not quite sure how big they should be before flipping..
I top as needed to keep them short, I don't care where I top just not too early. As plants get bigger they get bigger faster so if you top a small plant it will take longer to recover than topping one that grows an inch or more per day. I depend on your plan to flower as well. If your going to let them veg 2 months then you can top as many times as you want and grow a bush. If you're going to flip at 6 weeks then I'd only top once or twice. I don't like to top within 7 days of flipping, I find I get 2 smaller pine cones where I topped If I wait 7 -10 days after topping they grow branches and stack buds on them3Cats, do you have any advice on how many nodes to leave after topping for a 4 plant grow? I’ve been thinking to leave 3, but don’t necessarily have any logic to back that up. I’ve seen a couple of pictures of great 3x3 scrog grows with 4 plants and that’s what I saw on those plants.
