200 tops

[GimmieThe Loot]

I have a runtz and wedding cake in a 4x4 I'm going to try to achieve 200 tops between them both

Looks like you've got some work to do...

How long veg

Kind of a cool thing to try. Could I ask what the reasoning is behind your goal? Trying to achieve certain yield goals or just want to see if you can do it?

il take bets on 10+ week veg

I think he`d git it done in 8+ with a final cut on flip.

You have 30 squares...you'll need over 6 tops per square ...I think you may be aiming a little high...good luck though

How big is that tent? 2x2'? More than 16 tops in there and you are growing some very small tops.

I just saw it's a 4x4 tent, that trellis looks odd, how big are the squares? In a 4x4 if I have a SoG where I can optimize the canopy to the max I wouldn't go past 49 tops in a 7x7 grid of clones. With a scrog I doubt you will even achieve that.

One thing to remember, the more buds you have on a plant, the smaller the buds will be. So given the same strain/clone, pot size and veg time and so forth, the plant that has too many bud sites will have smaller buds than the plant with fewer bud sites. So there is a balance for any strain. On the extreme ends, too little and you are lighting the floor, too much and it's so overcrowded that light can't penetrate more than a few inches and air movement is nil causing bud rot.

I agree that’s a crazy amount of tops to try to flower indoor.

and the small Bud thing is very true. My last grow I manifolded my plants. 4 colas each. Nice large buds and easy trimming. I think I’ll be sticking to it

It's always nice to have a goal.

 

[getogrow]

take it from the master of tiny plants. OG SOG. you cant fit 200 tops in there. 100 tops in a 4x4 is cramped. 50 tops is about right.....thats a nice high goal. 50 tops with close to 2 lbs would be the highest goal to shoot for. imo

These had around 6-7week veg time...around 25+ tops each...no scrog...their tops are pretty close together n those 2plants wouldn't have fit in a 4×4...maybe but it would've been really cramped

those two would stuff a 4x4 tent. that would be about 50 tops max.

 

[MICHI-CAN]

I lost count around 130. But 9'x 8' at harvest. You need more space. LOL. Like the line of thought though.

 

[maranibbana]

200 hmmm

but close is doable

could get around 130 fat fatties in there.

2 of a few. LOL. Tossings would make most cry. But, yes. Laws and limits. Tops equal waste in my world. Bubble wash anything below 18". LOL.

 

[maranibbana]

I counted roughly 86 tops and that’s with the two phenos on the left side of the tent that have a much slower growth rate.
Two weeks after flip there will easily be 100+ tops here...

So if they were all like pheno 3 at the bottom right who’s much more vigorous then I’d say this 4x4 could easily support 130-150 tops

man outdoor isn't a fair comparison
