Just purchased a new Gorilla grow Tent, and completely redid my setup in my 4x8 veg area and my new 4x8 Flower area.
First the Veg area. It consists of a 4x4 flood table, the other side contains 13 4gal buckets full of hydroton. Also 1 control bucket. This control bucket not only floods the flood buckets, but also floods the table.
The plants start off from the moms, they are moved from the flood table into s flood bucket and vegged to produce at least 9 clones (hopefully more like 15) . They are then cloned and after 1-2 weeks they are moved into the 4gal buckets. They sit for ~1month growing bigger, all while waiting for there flowering spot to be opened up.
While vegging they are topped and have 3-4 tops selected and focused by trimming any branches that start to reach for light. By the time they are moved they are about 16" inches high. All have 3 tops and are approximately the same height.
They are moved into the flowering spot snd immediately are switched from veg nutes to bloom nutes.
Over the next 3 weeks i will trim branches that reach away from the 3 main cola stems by more than 2". Also if one or 2 branches on the plant are having a bugger growth spurt, i pinch the tops. This allows the plant to focus growth hormones to the other tops.
@Esoteric_growing, my grow style is with tops nicely spread out. I don't grow lower popcorn buds. I have the plants focus the energy into big top colas
@Drtomb, 1.4p is about 630g right? That’s brilliant if so, does the light reach the lower parts of a plant as well as a 600hps? I hear some people say the lower buds tend to be a little smaller with the leds.
I look forward to seeing how the glue turns out and thanks for keeping me updated👍
@Esoteric_growing, stay tuned. I believe my harvest was 1.4p dry/3169g wet. But the real numbers will likely show on the Gorilla Glue #4 grow that's just a few weeks from completing. But seems to be good so far.
