I too am in a state that has serious restrictions on amount of plants u can have before the penalty is increased to stuuuppid time....Anyway, Wow! that's just amazing bro! Definetly subscribed to this grow! I like to learn from people whose growing techniques are unique and heavy yielder's!....(you are by far the most interesting...by keeping it simple, and to a bare minumum of 3 plants is fucking gangsta!!!!
++rep for you!)
Thanks bro,
Keeping it simple is the best way to grow because growing plants is not suppose to be complicated, it should be fun and enjoyable too!
You mention you are in a state with plant number restrictions so make sure you know the law in your state because some states with plant limitations also have a restriction on the height and/or size of the plant so you can possibly be charged if you have huge plants like the Herer grow.
But let me ask u this...how long, from cutting planted to harvest does it take to get girls this size with that yield amount?? (reffering to your last grow) Also, when u start a grow of this siz & potential, how many lights do u start the 3 young plants with and when do u add additional? also, how and what do you do in terms for odor control for your room?? Oh, one last thing, who is the maker of the nutes you use and is FIMming another term for LST?? Thanks for being an insparation to us all
It is usually a maximum of 16 weeks from the time we get the clones till harvest. They are usually under one 600watt light for the first couple of weeks until light number 2 is turned on. Then as the plants grow bigger and need to be spread further apart light number 3 will be turned on so they each have a light all to themselves. Usually the last week of veg is when the last light is turned on and then finally its time to turn them to 12/12. So basically you could say that the plants let me know when they are wanting/needing more light.
FIMming helps the plant to get more main colas and bud sites. Here is a basic picture that shows where you need to cut:
I dont use the same brand nutes for everything so here is a list of all of them that get used at various stages:
#Nutrifield Premium Blend Coco medium
#Nutrifield Coco A and B
#Monster Grow by Grotek
#Monster Bloom by Grotek
#Budmeister by J&M Holdings
#Liquid Lead
#Pythoff by Flairform
As for the odour control I use a big charcoal filter which you can see in this pic:
