My next run I plan to order 4 feminised seeds of the same strain which I have not decided on yet. I will run 4 DWC single 5 gallon buckets. Vegging 2 to 3 weeks under t5 lighting. Then til week 6 to 8 under a 1000 watt Metal Halide conversion bulb. Then when I flip to bloom I use 1000 watt HPS to flower with an eye hortilux bulb. I am growing 8 different strains now and I can't try different methods of training on these girls. I topped and suppercropped and used a scrog net to train them this time. Next time I'm using the same strain for four plants for a test I want to conduct to see which methods yield the best and which ones simply don't and to see if defoliation works or it's better not to remove fan leaves. I will be using general hydroponics Flora trio nutes with 0 ppm RO water, calimagic and hydroguard. Flowering the only additives I add is liquid koolbloom. My 1st test plant will be all natural. Grown straight up to the scrog net, no defoliation at all in veg or flower unless leaves are dead and come off willingly, the only training I'll do to her is train under the scrog net so I don't burn her. The second test plant will be only low stress training, tying to plant down only for training with no defoliation in either stage. My 3rd test plant will be topped twice or three times for 4 to 8 colas and defoliated right before I flip to flower, then defoliate at 30 days into flowering, then a final defoliation at day 45 of flowering. My 4th test plant will be fimmed once for 4 colas and trained under the scrog net with lighter defoliation than topped plant
