What will yield more?!?!

[merkstillgrows]

ok i wanna know what method of growing will give you a bigger yield
LST
SCROG
TOPPING
SUPER CROPPING

which ever one you choose please explain why is it better then the other methods or not lol.

see, the thing is, the reason their are so many different methods is cuz some work better in certain situations than others........

ok what about 2 1/2ft cabinet what method wood work for me LST of SCROG?

what kind of lighting? cfls im assuming? how long do you plan on vegging?how many plants? what size containers you using?

either one. try both and determine what works best for you. seems like you could develop a technique that incorporates the ideas behind both of them. a screen "shelf" that sits just above the pot. the plant would grow up through the screen and you could keep topping it and use the screen for tie down points. you could really sprawl it out. good luck!

You have 36 inches of total height to work with. Subtract from that the number of inches from the floor to the level of your growing medium. Then subtract the number of inches from the inside top to the lowest point of your lighting when it is raised as high as it can be raised. Then subtract the minimum number of inches that you will need to be able to maintain between your plant tops and lights at all times.

What will you have left, 20 inches? 22 inches? 24 inches if you are very lucky?

Whatever it is unless you meant 36 inches of actual usable growing height, which did not seem to be the case according to your phraseology, you will not have much usable growing height to use. Even with so very little info about what you want to do and how you will do it and what will be used, for that amount of height I would likely suggest SCROG.

Maybe with more info I would say something different but based on what little you have said so far that seems to fit your situation best.

umm 0k i got 2 x 42w, 1 x 16w, 1 x 125w, feliz all 6500k, FFOF soil 3 x 3gallon containers 3 different bag seeds i know 1 is an indica the other is a lil bit of both and the other one is germinating right now, for flowering idk what kind of lights i shoould go with hps/mh/cfl idk yet

ok i was thinking the same thing but where would i get the SCROG thing any way?

 

[darkdestruction420]

your grow area is only 2 1/2 ft tall? how tall are the pots youve got?

 

[merkstillgrows]

6inches but there kinda wide should i just put 2 plants in there its about 1 1/2ft wide maybe a lil more you think that will affect them in any way if there close i think ima go with SCROG but where do i get the scrog stuff at? or should i just top to get 4 main colas an time down so they all get light

 

[darkdestruction420]

either is fine, its basically the same thing. lst you use string to tie them down and keep them at an even canopy height while in scrog you rely on the screen to do so.

i had the same situation last year in my old house,i hardly had any room to work with. I stuck to doing a sog(sea of green) i bought some Big Bud seeds,vegged them for 16 days under cfls then flowered them at 5 inches tall.I ended up with 8 rather squat and bushy plants that yielded almost 1 ounce per plant dry.If you are short on space but want a decent yield go with a strain that is known for large nugs i.e mango,big bud,critical mass there are a few out there.Just because a plant is flowered whilst small as long as you have cfls that shroud the plants you will get a relatively good amount.Cfls cant penetrate foliage that well if a plant is vegged for too long and has too many leaves.Plenty of cfls,large yielding strain=surprisingly decent amount of smoke.Good luck and peace.

alright kool thx for the help guys
