Sorry wasnt dine at all pushe dthe pist button on accident. Like I was saying . The next season I decided I need to do some really radical LST. Which was quite insane, I kick my self in the ass now for not taking pics. Was younger and was a little more scared of the law then, no pics no evidence you know. Any ways im off subject.. when the sativas got about 6 ft tall I took 6ft bamboo sticks and made a perimeter around the plant took the strongest looking branches from the earliest internodes and streched um down. To allow light penetration and air flow .so I had eight 5ft brances in a circle streched damn near horizontal. Plants were about 6ft in diameter and 80% of them were 12 ft+ tall just beautiful ladies these girls makes me smile even today thinkig back. Over all everyone yeilded over 2ps. So my advice is if you space um out utilize the space man. If whether or not your hooked on the 45-50, spaced or not spacdd if so use the space to your advantage, because unlike when you go indoors , tgise ladues will cammand and conquer out side. But its just my two cents happy farming .
P.s. never relly took the indicas to this extreme did something on a smaller scale with one, a bit differnt and she didnt like it so stuck to topping the hellout of um, and hitting them with some extra bush master to bush those bbs out , by the end of my outdoor years I was yeilding substantially more off them..but oh and bush master is no longer sold sorry . Fucking CANCER...;)
It is not drastic, not if you plan on easily tending your plants and not missing any spots. I'm not kidding about this. YOU chose to use 300gals! :p Or, keep them smaller... ;)Whats up everyone. I have an issue regarding plant spacing. I have a limited area I am growing in (3000 sq ft.) I am using 300 gallon pots and putting my plants in the third week of may. The plants are about 1.5-2 feet tall. I have been told to do 12 foot centers (stalk to stalk) this seems a little drastic. In years past I have shoved plants in using 8-9 centers (in mid june) and it worked fine. This year im starting earlier and have a tad bigger plants.....basically I wondering if doing 40-45 plants and super spacing them out can out yield doing 45-50 plants and shoving them in using 9 foot centers....sorry for the confusing sequence of logic but I am just typing as im thinking....HAPPY PLANTING PEOPLE! Tis the season!!

I hear you on the centers, and that's probably what I have going on myself down below. It makes tending in between plants difficult until I get them all hemmed in with Hortonova. But then the interior can become densely packed, so you'll wanna clean that out as well as you can.
15ft centers and 12ft between rows....looks SO good ;)
Same here, I've got limited space that's fenced, and it's GOT to be within the fenced area. In fact, I'm more limited because I have two fenced gardens that I *could* use, except that one is visible from the road and that violates the local zoning ordinance. Because it'll hurt the children or the neighbors if they see a fucking pot plant, irreparably.M
My whole thing is the fenced in area. In an ideal world is love to space them more than enough. But when it comes down to choosing to not plant 5 plants it becomes more of a big decision.
When a plant starts touching other plants or fences it signals to the plant to stop growing. This can loose pounds per plant so this is a big deciding point....there's gotta be a middle ground but I'm pretty sure I just gotta decide to either space or clutter....I hate fences.

I didn't know that about when they start touching each other, so I'm wondering, what if you did what I do and when they start to hang out over the pots you kinda bring them back in with the Hortonova? Does that cause the same reaction? It's what I've been doing because I do have to squeeze mine together, or grow fewer plants, or force them to be smaller overall.
lmao! :woot: That was last year....9 plants in bed together.lol. (Ewok)JESUS CHRIST, KEN! :eek:
For sure, a plant that has the genetic potentional to produce big chunky colas isn't going to loose that genetic potentional because of stress. The overall yield will be be lessened though. Once plants are growing into each other (not just one leaf touching another leaf) then the rate of growth that was previously observed will start to decrease. This is pretty basic horticulturalist knowledge. As far as marijuana gardening maybe certain strains are less inclined to stress as hard as others. When plants touch after the post-flower stress the effects are less than if they have been growing into each other for months.That cant be right, can it? People pack plants close together all the time.
Plants grow right though netting all the time.
Sure, you want air flow and more space is always better. But I dont think a plant stops growing when it touches a fence or another plant.
I put these wayyy too close together last year:facepalm:..(Bout 3 foot centers)
