Is there such a thing as to bushy ? I have a 19 day old auto or two and they are REALLY not that tall. I have done some lst but they are less than 8 inches tall !!
How long are you allowing for new growth up towards the light before you tie down the next section? Sent from my Droid using Grasscity Forum mobile app
aye but the question im asking my self is to make em a bit taller or to leave em squat and bushy with 1-1.5 cm between nodes ?
Two different plants, started and still have a 45W veg bulb each and a 150w hps (2k k) for about a week and a half. Both broke ground 19 days ago ! Thems smell SWEEEEET , the already stinking out my house if the door is left open
it's dependent on your grow space. I like taller plants because my grow space is only 4x2' and 5' high so they don't get really tall but are still very bushy with proper training.
my space is like 3 foot wide and 2 foot deep by 7-8 tall lol, i should add that these are both auto's
i am not sure that autos get that big lol. Any way i have not the lighting for that kinda business. I wanna maximise yield but consider my lights to you know ?
Tall plants are going to do him zero good as he's using CFL's. For CFL grows, you want short plants with a trained, even canopy for maximum light coverage as those bulbs need to be so close to the plants. With that space, I'd recommend upping to HID lighting next round, as you will get 5x the yield (or more), and better quality with the same amount of effort.
That is a tiny light, you still aren't going to get any depth of light penetration with that small wattage. That's only 75 W per plant which is pretty much the bare minimum. With a 4x2 space, a 400W light would be perfect and you would see a world of difference in the final result (quality and quantity)
