should i turn plants ???

Yeah should i turn plants around to get a better yield? I could do this once a day OR every two days etc.

I wonder if anyone is doing this?

Perhaps it will increase stretch from the confusion of less light and more light? Not sure... please need advice

thanks peace, keep it cool, keep it green

I've seen peeps instead of "turning" them trim out the back sides (or sides NOT facing the bare bulbs) to let those branches facing the bulbs get maximin energy. I have seen peeps turn and not turn and you'll get an argument for each from both sides so (shrug)?

Good luck Ghetto G

i have seen a stadium setup with many single cola plants. yields were ok, but the back of the buds (the side away from the bulb) were less mature than the ones facing it.

Ghetto Gospel,

This is way i think about it, personally i like to cut of the backsides of the plants because I don't have to do an extra thing every day or two. LOL that cause I am lazy too i feel the less i touch my garden the better. That being said if you turn them I believe you will yield similar results all around either way is fine, just depends if you wanna be in the garden more or less.
 
when i grew vert i rotated weekly, any more than that i find the plants waste some energy constantly readjusting toward the lamps..

with weekly rotations i found harvest was up over none rotation, but the quality was the huge difference

Is that better quality or poorer quality mr akasomeoneelse?

Ottoman i plan on being very lazy :moon: rotating pots takes probably 5 minutes, you must be on a new level of lazy :tiphat: goon on ya!! :)

Interesting AKA I might try that!
 
quality is greatly improved... lollipopped plants perform best if you can come up with the high number of clones, or bigger 4-5 branch topped and trained plants will do well also require bigger containers(possibly less watering) but require more training..

i personnally just grow alot of mini half oz-oz sized plants with little to no branching and rotate weekly.. in a vert.

and in stadiums i go with the bigger bush 4-5 branch plants..

its up to you, but 9 outta 10 times rotation is good for an evenly advancing garden of equally nice quality bud..
