We are all evolving, and erb is coming along for the rideAgreed completely. Any type of properly done training will give structure to the plant and let you get the most out of it. The only downside to growing trees is veg time, and thats not really a concern for hydro growers. But man do I get impatient watching soil plants veg and veg and veg.
And you mentioned the exact problem I've wanted to work out in my scrog cab. I get mostly around 8" tops, everything lining the screen just below that height is fluff. Nice for hash and I dont mind getting away with less trimming here and there, but I'd prefer getting more dense bud. I have a fairly directed hood for my 600w and cool tubes with small cheap wings for the 400s. Gotta say I see almost no difference between the two, though I'm using an odd footprint so it may compensate for the differences. The 1000w in my tent will get close to a 2' canopy of solid bud though, plus another 6-8" of mediocre density that I usually keep most of. And thats with the least directed hood on the market, so I think it just comes down to sheer output. Inverse square law.
Its the same with 'alternative' lighting...T5s and LEDs are more efficient per watt and generally yield frostier looking bud with less heat output(win-win-win) but I dont see anybody growing 5' plants. Theyre forced to grow a large number of small plants, or do intense scrogging or training because they can't get penetration. I'm personally not up for that on a somewhat larger scale though. Maybe a personal grow.


Thanx man! great to see you here again, you are dead on with the sunlight comparison. I mean try and look at the sun on a good hot summer day....great way to go blind!Hello there Flowa, there is no competion when it comes down sun light vs artificial light. Your smack on the money there mate. You have a good head on your shoulders when it comes down to the indoor garden FlowaI have got my journal up and running now, there 14 days old now so a little bit late.
LOL! you the man Jin! hehe what's that....30ish thou views...woah...i better back off i had no idea.....whistling tapping my shoes. It's the 1 plant thing i think, people can slightly picture it in there head now.......i got my tent.....can'ty be much bigger than that tent.....and he fills it how quick?......hmmmm.....and it's good bud? hang on a minute....... how do you know if these aussie genetics wouldn't tickle your fancyNow you're just showing off. You remind me of... me. Lol.
Fuckin' A. You kick ass, bro. I regard you as a serious threat when it comes to getting views.
God, if there was only some way you could grow California genetics. Damn...
Edit:
Clearly a case of the student surpassing the teacher. Your mentor is kind of a cheese-ball. Lol. If this were martial arts instead of growing, you know you would have to kill him, right? Lol.



I fukin love this shit!!!Flowa i agree 100% hey. Ive always trained my plants both indoor and out and have never lost quality. I would actually say i gained quality. I remember back at my mums house i pulled 19 oz off a plant that was no taller than 2ft off the ground, i tied that baby like a vine and no one knew it was there. Best damn herb ive ver had too and people still
comment on it, wish i knew what strain it wasif i had a bigger room id still only do 1-2 plants tops, its just how i prefer to do it
Keep the wicked info comin man, its good to read that people still grow the old school way!!






Thanx for that man! i'll check it soon once i've numbed my senses a little morehey flowie fyi regarding australian cannabis laws
