dont give two shits about studies mate i work from experience,some times first hands on is more productive,in a small ass tent how hell you get proper light to your soil and bottom buds with 8 inch fan leaves?
wait i have that answer for that more light right,there it is more sales gimmicks,i do very well for myself in a 2 x4 x5 tent with a 400 watt hid light,i could careless about sq ft crap and all the science crap that goes with it,you are telling the op you cant im saying you can,you called me out ,so here it is ,dont you call it bro science? mate i been growing probally before you was born and my methods are hands on,all your science stuff has one purpose only that is to convience you to buy more crap to mimic the sun and imitate ideal environment guess what there is only one way for that it called outside were the stuff is happening and it free.
so what we have here is a agreement that we both disagree leave it at that ,calling folk out because you disagree is a bit childish dont you think i even went back to what i wrote and i see not a thing one calling you out.
so hey mate take your science study and sit on it,put some hours in and then call folk out with your proof there is a difrence because my expereience has me cutting them and 2 weeks later im cutting there ass again,when they are showing flowers i then leave um be,so take it as it is,your method difrent,who to say your not growing in ideal conditions like a science lab were every thing is controled if so it that a ton of money for just growing a weed?
later mate argue with some one else
