Of course strain has some sway over yields but for the most part weed is weed. I sorted out the keepers long ago. More work? YES but not that much more. More nutrients? No about the same maybe slightly less because smaller plants but in organic soil i just water them anyway. It is all a matter of preference really.
Wry true I guess if I was growing in a room 16 x 16 with 8ft of height I would probably drow 20 plants in 3 gal pots with no topping just flip to flower as quick as possible but I’m in a tent so I make as many colas as I can to get the best bang for my space
Your trying to give premise to scrogs being more efficient in one way or the other when simply it has always been known that sog trumps scrog.
Manifolding 3 plants is just as much work as potting up 8 plants topped twice. You'll need a lot more veg time with manifold and will yield less (besides initial footprint/intensity waste). A 4x4 canopy is a 4x4 canopy, it will require similar base water volume to sustain it no matter the pot count, assuming correct pot sizes. You will yield less or have to veg longer doing manifold as it's not a good way to fill out the width and upper canopy to collect the best light. That in turn will mean they don't drink quite as much water due to less intensity (best case). Running the 8 topped properly will fill the area quicker, have more leaf area at top and will drink more water as a result. In essence yield% will increase with water%.
I was under the impression that a s.o.g is no topping just veg for a few weeks and switch to flower with a bunch of plants in your space ???? I am not saying that anything is better just giving my opinion I never once said that anything was better not even once did I say that.... So if your growing in a 3x3 grow tent in soil u will yield more using a s.o.g than a scrog??? I can’t see how that would be possible without knowing how a strain grows out ... So depending on your style of growing and method of growing like soil or hydro has a lot to do with your final yield.. Some strains might do better than others in a sog but some might not .. I have grown 2 GG and just with a simple LST it performed way better than a single cola GG did I yielded more with LSTing it with out even topping it. for my space topping and LST just gives me a better yield IMO.Dude u are either half ass reading my post and just trying to argue like a dumbass cuz I never once said I was growing in a 16x16x8 room, all I said was if I was growing in a room that Big ... What a schmuck
And your a Dweeb but childish name calling aside sog trumps your methods as i and others have said. It dosent matter soil hydro or strain someones already done it all and proved the point.
This is the main factor.
I agree completely. Our new rules will be 4 plants per household max so sog is ok if you want to pull 4 oz every 12 weeks but I would rather pull 8 to 16 oz every 16 weeks. If plant count was 8 i would run an 8 pot system and flip it sooner.This is the main factor.
I train for months and make them strong. Usually I would grow them a few months (like I'm doing now with my outdoor) then place them out. And I am, but I also have plants ive been growing since I got ripped last year of half my grow. So now I have huge plants indoors flowering now and I'll have 10 plants outdoors this year plus maybe a few autos.
I don't have to worry about plant count and I try not to worry about yield much either since it's all personal. But I do know I get a better yield in quality of bud and bud density. I believe this works the same way as a sog. The plant senses that it can support more and heavier bud and conforms to that. When left without a strong support system like a net it strong branches holding up the goodies; the goodies fall a bit short an light in my opinion
Yer well you wanted legalization
No one cares what the answer is in legal states, your not the only growers here, stop trying to take over the site because you can only grow four measley plants, four plants wtf, your barely a grower at four plants ffs....!I agree completely. Our new rules will be 4 plants per household max so sog is ok if you want to pull 4 oz every 12 weeks but I would rather pull 8 to 16 oz every 16 weeks. If plant count was 8 i would run an 8 pot system and flip it sooner.
If you have no limit fill it up flip in 2 weeks and every 12 to 14 weeks you harvest
Here if i sogged 4 plants I would have about 4 harvests a year and get 4 to 6 oz mean average 5 aprox total = 5 oz or 20 per year
With 4 plants and a 4 week veg it is 14 to 16 weeks would be 3.5 harvests per year at 8 to 12 oz mean average 10.
aprox total = 10 x 3.5 = 35 oz per year
With 4 plants and a 6 week veg it is 16 to 18 weeks would be 3 harvests with a 12 to 16 oz mean average 14 oz
aprox total = 14 X 3 = 42 oz
So it is really about what you have the ability to grow. If you can grow 16 in a 4 x 4 and flip in a short time you will get 14 to 16 oz but we can't do that so a longer veg works better.
Just my 5 cents. We pitched the penny years ago so 2 cents makes no sense
What a silly, elitist thing to say. So only commercial growers are real growers? There are hell of a lot more personal/hobbyist growers in the world than there are large scale commercial ops. If you think that way why don't you and all the other weed tycoons go start a private club where you can stroke each other's egos and look down on the peasants without having to smell them.
We did, its called Rollitup, im telling you four plants is a sucky amount to be limited to right now on it.
For personal use 4 plants is plenty. Or 6 in a few states ? If everyone grew 4 plants the commercial guys would be out of business.
