Hi everyone,
I am still pretty new to this, but all the help on these forums has been amazing!!
Anyhow, I have what might be a really basic question.
Let's say that I can fit four larger plants, or eight smaller plants, in my grow tent. If I do four plants, I could let them veg for a lot longer before flipping to flower (all of this is assuming photoperiod plants). With the longer veg, yield would be higher. Or, if I did eight plants, I would flip to 12/12 earlier. Yield per plant would be less.
But which scenario would yield higher in total? I guess the fairest way to measure would be something like grams yielded per day or week, since the four-plant approach would need a significantly longer veg period to max out the grow space.
Assuming everything else remains constant - growing environment, cultivar, growing medium, etc. More of a theoretical question, but wondering what folks think.
