Best training technique to maximise yield

Cuncan · Aug 17, 2020

Hi guys

My first post here and quite new in the growing world. I have just planted 2 feminised Northern lights seeds in two 25liters/5.5 gallons pots inside a 0.8x0.8x1.8meter/2.6x2.6x5.9feet tent. I am going to use a 300w led light for the veg state and planning to switch to a 250wHPS for the flowering stage (temperature control reasons..). My questions are

1) Do you think I can safely use a 400W Hps in flowering stage or is it too strong for a tiny space like this?
2) In order to maximise the yield, which training technique or combination of techniques do you suggest to use?

Topping/mainlining (how many times?)
SCROG
Supercropping

Thanks in advance for the answers!

But focus on your growing knowledge 1st, and yield will naturally follow

You have to do a grow first before you worry about max yields!
What is your last harvest number to compare to?

Lst is definitely a good one. I'm a bit concerned that you stuck seeds in a 5 gallon pot. Newbies tend to be over zealous with watering and those pots are far too big for little plants. It's always better to start in a small container and transplant so you dont kill it with too much love.

Agree with most of this quote. In my experience yeild is directly related to 2 things. Root ball size and lighting. More lighting more yeild but you can definitely have too much light as well. I always top my plants as well. Good luck.

You can run the 400 , what u using for exhaust or climate control?
