looking good there! question? why did you go with 4-square verses more height? I am going to try 9-plants lollipopped in a 3X3X6high unit with 1-gallon pots. How is the 4X4X4 going?


Peace

well if this is directed at me, then you are probably right.....i thought if i lollipop them it will be all tops right? therfore no need for light below the canopy.....maybe i should be looking at 4-plant scrog.

not really if he's lollipopping them... they don't take up much space... but they only harvest like one big bud....

I'm doing 4 plants in my cabinet and its 30" x 30" x 4' but that is the max I can have.... mind you I'm bushing my plants a bit instead of lollipopping them.

your right i was just saying for a good harvest less plants in that area doing lolipop might give you bigger cola then doing more plants with small colas.........but im still learning so i should watch how i word things

Given the option, more plants with less yield per plant will out-produce fewer, larger plants over time. The main reason is more, smaller plants have less veg time and turn around quicker. If you have a full canopy your yields will be about the same whether you use 4 plants in a scrog or 24 small plants in a SOG. The difference comes in when you start the second batch and don't have to wait 4 weeks to veg up the larger ladies.

Mmm looks nice... I got some purple kush goin on... hopefully I can get a nice dark color outta it..... I'll post some pix this weekend....

and regarding lolipopping and such just before the nice pictures.... the guy has a small room... true having more plants that are smaller will definately give you more yield overall..... given time and less space used per plant. I got 4 in my cabinet and it's full as hell... next time around I'll probably just do smaller plants and see yield...

My friend is into purple bud so just to see I let the temp drop in my room for the last few weeks. Must of the leaf and some of the bud turned purple. From what I have read you just need to find a strain that is more prone to change to purple. I will post some pic in a few days of what I just got done with.

Dont mean to hijack here but this thread seems pretty active.
Quick question here.
I messed up on my order, I wanted an HPS and a MH conversion bulb that could share the same hood with an S51 sodium ballast that I built myself. Not at the same time of course. Anyway I ended up ordering an Agrosun 430w red sodium that says "with more blue and red" and an EYE Hortilux 430w enhanced spectrum Super Hps.
I dont need two, so I want to send one back and get the MH conversion bulb instead.
Which HPS should I keep.
Thanks

the 4x4x4 works realy good . i just harvisted dryed & cured waied @ 1/4 lb the plants were all small under 3 ft & 3 @ 2 ft. all bubelgum. i only veged them for two weeks , trying diferent combos . i started some perple cush on saterday and im going to veg theas for 3 weeks and make them taller so thay will be closer to the lamps when finished. i cant adjust the higth of my lamp.it is fixed . i will need carfull calculations & stop veg at the rite time so thay dont get to big. ill send more pixs in a cuple of weeks when i go into flower. ps i have a boolm box if u were wondering.

I would suggest the 6ft height and using 2 gallon pots instead of one gallons. You should be able to still fit 9 plants in there. You may be better off doing 6 larger plants though since you have the height.

There is no point in having a 6ft height if you are only growing in 1 gal pots. One gal pots are only good for plants that will finish at like 1ft.
