I have 3 grows under my belt and currently have 5 plants from seed in veg, all good genetics. I have more seeds as well, I am done with other peoples clones. Never again.
I have a 4x8 tent and just added a 4x4 as well. As a WA med patient we can have 15 plants. In the past I have vegged for ~2 1/2 months or so. Now I want to harvest a plant every couple of weeks. I don't plan on keeping mothers at this point. I'll take clones, wait a week then flip. I was getting 2 1/2 - 5 ozs per plant but could only finish 5 nice plants with 2 600 watt HPS. Always had one or two problem child's. But smoking the same weed for the next 5 months got boring so we would buy more for a change. So:
Am I better of, yield wise, to veg for longer and put ~3' tall plants into flower or putting 2 or 3 18" plants into flower ever week or 2? I could get quite a few in the larger tent and when I start harvesting the new plants should be ready to flip. I tried a scrog last grow and it's not for me. I am more of a top it a couple of times, maybe a little tying and let her do her thing kind of grower. I grow in soil in home made fabric pots. I use Earth Juice ferts with added high N guano for the high N needing plants and high P guano for all in flower. Cal mag as needed. High brix molasses when I think about it.
So what say you? Taller bushes or shorter 6 to 8 cola plants?
