It may be close but I can guess the outcome already. HGL plant will be twice the size of the HLG plant simply due to the stretch difference from the heavy red supplementation of the HGL. May both yield the same but the HGL plant will consume more area.
Essentially wouldn't that be a win? Even if one oz less, im sure there's more then one data junkie out there that would gladly crunch the G/umol/j, haha! I wish my brain worked that way.
But that's not a win because she had made very large claims & Has to live up to them.
A tie would however teach us a thing or 2 about spectrum.
Just for the record, Nobody dictated my grow in anyway aside from that few days of high intensity in the beginning. I grew these plants to the their fullest ability
(with the time i had available to tend them).
Staying with equal parameters, feeds, environment, ect... How i saw fit while still growing using the manufacturers recommended heights. If she had not seen the thread & was to reply to an e-mail question or something then the answer would be as we all know, 12-30". Obviously if the plan was for x4, 84X's to cover a 4x4 then they were planned on being flowered at 2' (that is what coverage allows)
Why would i as a grower take my young, not prepared plants n blast them @ 12"???
So, NO that is not her actual recommended growing height under regular circumstances. They can handle 12" n like it once they are ready.
EDITTED: Trinity should remain @ 28"-34" unless dimmed. Dimmed to 200w it will double outperform a T-5, 8 bulb, 4'. And can go as close as 20" (strain/grower dependent)
As far as i can see everything is going good. Many of us have had similiar results vegging under 35-5k. Tight noded, smaller bushes. Some prefer that, while others like the big long bush.
Eitherway, its all Bush n we loves us some Bush.
