My question is whether a SOG using a flood tray technique is advisable for a sativa dominant strand. I'll be putting up to 30 clones of blue dream from Humboldt into a 3x3 flood tray, with a 50 gallon reservoir, in a 4x4x6 grow tent using a 600W HPS. Using the Lucas formula and expanded clay pellets as my medium.
I've grown this strand before in a 2x4x5 tent and it grew way too big for the tent.
I've always grown in DWC and coco but after completing my 2nd SOG flood setup with an indica dominant I would much rather stick with flooding due to the lower maintenance. My concern is managing the stretch of a sativa dom, even if I flip 12/12 from clone immediately. With my past indica set up I loved growing 2 or 3 large buds per plant but I am concerned with that with the blue dream I'll be pulling it all the time.
1. Is this advisable?
2. If I end up having to pull the tops down to prevent light burn will that slow bud growth?
3. Any other suggestions, warning, or knowledge from past experience would be helpful
4. And has anyone grown this strand before? How long was flowering, I hear mixed statements depending on the distributor.
thank you
