Grow, dos.

LST and supercropping allowed me to easily fill the same space with 6 instead of 8 plants. Other than starting with and then eliminating CaMg+ and going from 24 to 20 hours of light things are the same as Grow Uno. Will be going 12/12 in 7 days. Have kept 2 plants going in the clone cabinet that will serve as one-time mothers, allowing me to time my cloning a little better as last time, I did things to slow growth in the cabinet as things on the main floor were flowering and drying.

Looking good bravedave!!! I flower 6 plants at a time in my 4x4 tent in 3 gallon pots under a 600w hps - alot of LST, bending, and topping to fill the canopy - and I yielded over 21 onces last round with multiple strains. I wish you the same luck! Keep it up

Don't be scared to completely remove anything that is 16" under the top of the canopy(after the stretch in flower is done) - the light won't penetrate that deep and all that lower growth will just take energy away from your tops buds - it's like what the SCROG guys do, minus the screen. It's also what I believe lets me harvest at least a # under a 600 with little to no larf. When I wasn't doing it I was yielding slightly less per plant, but I had WAY more popcorn/underdeveloped buds down low. Just a suggestion :)

thanx two questions please wht is the strand?
On my FG I jarred just under 12ozs not counting 2 oz of underfluff and a cracker tin of sweet leaves for hashin. Like to just say about 1.5 zips per plant. 8 plants, 2 strains, 4 Bubblegum, 4 Paralyzer (local phenom). Both great smokes ... BG better but Paralyzer yielded better. My hope is a similar yield with the 6. My dream lines up with @Squidbilly 's reality.

Thanks for that link Dave, hell of a build. Wish I had your knowledge in the construction area :bigjoint:id build me a hell of a setup! Sadly, im sure I would end up fried once I tried running the electrical haha

I'm expecting to see at least a doubling in your yield per plant this grow. I think adding the LST and supercropping will make for an easy yield improvement. The wildcard will be how much -10F you get and how well your room does in those conditions. How did you end up prepping for your cold spells?

Good luck on Numero Dos! Looking good so far.

Bravedave is never scared

Looking good there @bravedave - just started my 2nd grow too. Gotta say I'm a little jealous - that's impressive for your 2nd grow.

Have only had to deal with mid 20s so far. I am running my exhaust/intake 50% of the time. 15 minute intervals. I did place my "radiator heater" in front of the intake at an angle...so the cold air is kinda thwarted. The radiator is on a LUX thermostat and it kicks in pretty quick when the cold air starts coming in. My temps are ranging from 65 to 76. RH about 45. Flower brings more adjusting and temps will dive here shortly. It will be interesting.

Overall health, good. Not as good as grow 1. Realizing it is never quite the same grow...I appreciate your kind words and predictions. ;)

Just came out of the dark and starting 12/12. Canopy a bit more ragged than grow 1 but more going on. About 6" taller than last time.

2 weeks into flawa!!! Added Bubblegum mother to flawa girls making 7 on the floor. Made 12 clones, 6 Bubblegum. 6 Paralyzer a week ago and it looks like I will be 12 for 12. Girls are stretching more this time. Actually have a couple 4 footers. They seem to be over their spurt...thank goodness.

Here's Mom saying goodbye...
