    So my first grow turned out pretty well as far as health...and I learned alot :) ...but they were ALL were MALE. :mad:

    So I am starting over with Nirvana's Rasberry Cough.... http://www.nirvana-shop.com/en/raspberry-cough-feminized-5-seeds.html

    "With its clear, uppy yet calming effects, Raspberry Cough comes highly recommended as a medical marijuana strain. Its mother is a Cambodian landrace with especially high THC levels, and its father is our award-winning marijuana strain Ice. Raspberry Cough is an F1 cross with an abundance of red hairs and a tendency to develop blue hues in cooler night/dark temperatures. Raspberry Cough's aroma and flavour have a hint of Asian spice, yet taste decidedly of Dutch marijuana. The tall, somewhat thin plants can be grown very closely together for maximum yields of prime cannabis."

    --closet is 2ft deep X 4.5ft wide X (5 feet final plant height MAX)
    --600w MH to veg and 600w HPS to flower
    --FF soil (LW for veg; OF for flower)
    --using AN's Organic Iguana "Grow" for veg and "Bloom" + "Bud Candy" in flower stage.

    My question is this: I have 5 beans....should I plant all 5 and flower them at about 24" or should I plant 2-3 and ScrOG them....resulting in a more mature plant when I flower?

    Which scenerio would produce more higher quality bud?

    Thanks,
    sTb
     
  2. plant 2. Your closet has similar dimensions as mine, except mine is taller. I planted 3 and lost one along the way. 2 filled my closet up, I wish I woulda scroged them but I changed my mind last second about that. Yeah but I had 2 plants and there wasn't much room for anymore, I don't think 3 plants would have worked very well.

    So 2 grown without the screen filled your entire space, huh? You think you could have grown 3 if you would have LST'd them in a ScrOG?.


    And the closet is 8 ft in height but with room for the light and all I figured I was safe with a 5 ft plant height.

    So I started thinking...I wonder if it would mean a longer vegging time using 2-3 larger plants versus 5 smaller....? And would 5 under a screen give me the same yield as 2 LST'd to fill the same screen?

    I'm so confused...haha...

    Here are my goals:
    --the most yield
    --the shortest veg time
    --NOT wasting any grow space BUT not overcrowding my plants either...

    HAHA...but I guess that's what everyone is looking for, right?
     
  4. with some training i could fit three maybe even four, that'd be pushin it though.
     
  5. plant two, i got four in my veg box and its about the size of yours and its pretty full up, i only flower two at a time, you dont want to be so full up that mold becomes an issue, you could lose your whole crop right at the end
     
  6. Soap & Sun,

    So both of you are growing Rasberry Cough? Is it a real long limbed variety? The description says its a tall/thin plant that can be grown close together.... would you disagree?
     
  7. Curious what was the final outcome for everyone growing Raspberry Cough ?

    Did you find it difficult, how tall did they get, what methods did you use and how was the yield ?

    Thanks
