Which of these produces more and better quality bud in a small space?

  1. -- 1 or 2 plants allowed to grow larger by vegging longer?....OR

    -- 3-5 smaller plants flipped to 12/12 sooner?
     
  2. This is what i have learned from my 2 grows, they will double almost TRIPLE in size from 12/12 switch to harvest.. This is the measurement guide i grow by with my limited space..

    So,

    1. if i veg too long i dont have room for the additional size and things get cramped hurting my harvest

    2. if i dont veg enough, i dont get enough bud sites..

    So its just by experience that will help you determine that..

    My First run i only had 2 plants under CFL's.. The second grow i have 4 females with some gentle lst with a 150 hps added..

    Im definately digging the 4 plants on the 2nd grow.. If you have enough light, pack them in there..

  3. Thanks for the input....my space is 2 X 4.5 X 6 feet of usable plant height. Using a 600w MH for veg and HPS for flower. Temps right now are low to upper 70's.

    This is my first grow (seeds sprouted on Dec 24th) and I am using free seeds I received from AMS.

    I have 5 plants total...3 look beautiful and full with 4 sets of big green leaves sitting compact and wide at around 4" tall. 1 is half that size and is a bit of a genetic freak with uneven leaves and a bend to its trunk. I think it's because I "helped" it loose the rest of it's shell and took a bit of plant matter with it....and the final is the runt which is 25% the size of the larger 3 (planted a week late) and shows promise as it's already on its 3rd leaf set.

    I am hoping to get at least 2 females from the larger three. One of them is different because of it's deep green color, fat leaves and is even squattier than the other two.

    I was hoping for a final dry weight of at least 6oz so I don't have to pay cash for herb while working on my next grow (Rasberry Cough).

    Did you weigh your herb pre and post cure?
     
  4. Your 600w hps should yeild nicely.. My first grow i used CFL's... Only top protions were really smokable leaving the smaller buds a bit feathery..

    Thats why i opted for the HPS to add.. Now they are dense this go around..

    However, just 2 plants using CFL's i yeilded about 1 1/2 oz dried.. Great flavor, taste and buzz.. So i was pleased..

    Just waiting on 3 more weeks on this second grow..
