Yeah....Finished breakfast and realized I forgot ta ask about that strange phenomenon D bro......and where it`s been documented as being so cuz that`s some serious info like distances from light or closer to light kinda shit controlling internode spacing......anyways........
......
You know.....The biggest contributing factor to a perfect dialed sideways canopy IME is knowin your strain/variety/hybrid , how to trim/prune/shape the picks of the litter pre-veggers BEFORE goin in the bloom rooms , and then.....
Knowin how much they`re gonna stretch and fill out sideways so there can be optimum lumen penetration all the way through said sideways canopy for every bit of plant material to absorb the light and convert it into all nuggage by end of cycle without em getting too close to the bare bulbs and creating light/heat stress and or producing flarfy bullshit from lack of penetration depth.......and that....
Takes runs under yer belt with each individual strain/variety/hybrid monocropped and dialed to the tits.......so......With all my "strainwhore/variety is the spice of life" Growbro`s , it `s a constant battle to overcome all the limiting factors of different plants in the same room with bare bulbs hangin...and why ?......
Cuz everyone that switched over to vertical setups started out with horizontal air-cooled or not reflectors , and with a flat grow it`s waaay easier to run different varieties in the same room and control the canopy to a certain degree with putting something underneath the shorter plants to sit on once stretch is over and swellage begins ......
Sure.....Monocroppin a flat grow`s even better for less maintenance , but hardly anyone monocrops for the reasons stated above.....and hey...I ain`t bitchin anyone out about it , but it`s the single biggest limiting factor in pullin down the gpw`s IME.......and......yas can`t adjust shit with a vert setup now can yas......
With plants surrounding stacked bare bulbs plants grow differently than under reflectors , and each individual strain will be affected differently by the response to stimuli of the pull/being drawn to the strong sideways light source , cuz .......
Some will shoot for the moon right dead at the lights while others will bush sideways while stretchin ..... and that`s where runs under yer belt and knowing how the plants will respond as well as where they`ll end up by end of stretch is so important for that perfect sideways canopy.........
It ain`t rocket science........just discipline and common sense......Now....I`d love , love , LOVE ta visit FHC-ville and eat , drink , and be merry witchas Bro , but there`s absolutely no secrets or fairy dust I can tell or sprinkle for a magic transformation of your already awesome and soon to be even moreso once dialed setup and you know this......
Takes discipline , common sense , monocropped rooms , and above all as you said earlier.....runs under yer belt with each individual strain so it gets simple and babyshit once all their needs are known and met from doin it again and again.....aight.......
Nuff preachin outta my old ass this day........I smell breakfast and GF`s givin me that look , so......Proud ta see yas uppin yer game Bro......I know it`s bout ta get real ALL up in here so I`ll be over here on my bucket waitin and watchin........Good luck and.......
Peace......Freds.......
Sounds like a form of environmental stress as in starving the plants to keep em smaller but still keep em alive on life support.......but......
......
Fillin in the gaps for the perfect sideways canopy is the name of the game.......Discipline is the word. It's tough trying to squeeze every gram possible in a sideways canopy. Especially changing strains all the time. I get discouraged all the time when i see holes in the canopy. Holes mean less and i hate holes. I am at the point where i can tell ya almost percisely how much im going to yield just by looking at the dam holes...lol
