I've got a 2'x4' grow area in a closet in an ebb and flo system. I've got 3 plants under, 1 600w HPS, 2 96w CFL's, and 2 24w CFL's. What's going to be the best techniques and training methods to maximize yield in this system? Thanks and happy growin' y'all!
The best temperature range to grow plant is around 72-78F.Most plant strains slow down, or stop growing when the temperature is above 85F or below 65F.Humidity is great for growing plants.t's extremely important to have a fast draining soil mix, or if growing hydroponically, a well aerated solution.
Yea but I'm talking about techniques and training methods, Scrog, Sog, LST, FIMing, topping, super crop, etc. Iv already got my closet setup, just trying to maximize yield within the closet with the setup I have.
Scrogg all the way after reading foums andc cing it for myself this is tge key to bigger yeilds better outconev
About grow temperature, I have done some controlled experiments. Plants will grow the same if not more up to 100F, though high temperatures will have negative effects during flowering stage, so I would recommend 65-80F. The biggest factor with temps is the difference between day and night temps. The closer the day and night temps, the shorter the distance between nodes, and if it's 100 degrees during day cycle, and drops to 75 degrees at night, I have seen the plant stretch drastically.--- But this post is about training methods... I would suggest SCROG or a combo of SCROG and LST. Good Luck!
Scrog produces all sexy dong type buds. The light really just crushes every bud in your harvest for the entire 8-9 weeks. Very uniform buds in size, shape, color, density and ripening. Every bud is trichrome covered from the high intensity light that hits every nug.
[quote name='"grendall69"']Lst stands for????? Wellim going to scrogg 6 weeks. Fingers crossed.[/quote] LST stands for low strength training. It is used a lot with SCROG's to produce even distributed and equal size buds across the entire canopy. If you haven't gotten to far into veg you should go to the advanced growing techniques thread and read up on it. I've heard good things about increased yields with it.

But yeah its basically scrog using ropes or string instead of a screen.
[quote name='"aceer15"'] Was way to high answering back, didn't even catch my typo till today[/quote] lol no sweat, the rest of the info was right on haha
to be honest I'm pretty sure I was watching soccer and one of the commentators mentioned strength right when I was typing that lol
