Thanks for looking by zamzia
less plants ++veg = i cant harvest 6 time pr year - it raises the energybill for running vegmode - it produces a lot of leafs n´ not buds - plants gets a bit to high blocking light for the row above - a lot of sideway branching given less space for more cuts - dont allow me to learnhow to run the plants fertzwise once the setup is 100% filled with cuts from the start - uses more costly nutes..... and i can go on into the very small details and etc on why also.
Hope you get the picture.
My goal is to make flowers direct from on cuts and fill the room with as many cuts as possible, i made the setup for the strain, when they all sits on the distance i used 3 different grows to figure out would be, i ended up 60cm flat from center of bulb to the base at the stems. Minus the bulb the distance is down to 57cm and when the plants grow 7-10 cm towards it they are down at around 45ish cm from the bulb, at this distance i found not only did i become able to fit 128 plants around 1 bulb, but also only using 1 small waterpump to feed them all and still be able to nug out minimum 5 dry gram pr plant, just by placing a rootet cuts under the flowerlight - you do the math on why i dont veg but battles on to get enough cuts to fill the damn monster ive build.
And... Thanks for looking by.
Nice grow and im still not understanding why you arent filling your space. You made a lot of good points for not vegging longer, but you would yield twice as much if you filled the space. I know you dont have enough clones to fill the space but at the end of the day whether you use 30 or 120 cuts YOU MUST FILL THE CANOPY. Yes the plants will grow into each other fighting for space. But you can always remove some tops trim some fan leaves or bend or break branches so the light can still penetrate.
Think about this would you rather have 4 harvest 1 gpw or 5 harvest .6gpw
A 7 day veg in an nft and then flip.
Also try taking cuts before you need them and storing them in the fridge. THen take fresh cuts of the moms when your ready to clone. So you will have more cuts. You should take 4 times as many cuts when you have more moms running.
