Hey guys,
I have a ton of seedlings right now and over the next couple weeks I will be picking the best seedlings for my 5 X 5 X 7 W/L/H tent but with equipment 5 feet vertical to work with. I am growing both stages under a 1000W MH bulb. I have exactly 15 spots (1 spot being taken up by a fan - maybe I should mount it to the wall?) and will be ending the grow in 5 gallon grow bags on 14" saucers. I am looking for MAX yield on this grow.
Strain wise I am growing mandala #1 and Original Haze X Skunk #1. Both of them especially the OHSK1 are somewhat tall strains and I feel that some training may be needed to control height.
We will be giving the Mandala #1 a 2 week veg and the OHSK1 a 1 week veg to make sure that they don't get to tall during the stretch.
The thing is whether or not I will have space to train them.
I would love to SCROG but I feel that with this many plants my canopy will be too tight and mashed together.
With LST I feel that they may get too bushy and once again crowd the others and go out of their 14" or so tray area.
I don't really want to do any slicing or chopping to these plants besides basic pruning. I am on a semi-limited time frame and want the quickest crop possible so these will add too much time onto veg.
Should I just let them grow straight up and support them as they grow? Will they get too tall for the tent if I do it this way?
Any advice on how to get the most yield out of my 15 plants?
Thanks again IC
