Q. why so many plants
why not veg longer with less plant
The same reason why iam not growing in an ebb and flow table or a Aero-NFT setup.
Height restrictions in my grow space.
I do not have the room to grow larger plants. I only have room to do a SOG
And hempys allow me to grow with a very low profile.
My large plants are done outside.
If I wanted to grow bigger plants inside and get the same yield as my SOG in the same amount of time. I would need to have double the height in my flower chamber and a veg room that is double the height and size that it is now with twice the amount of veg lighting.
Vegging them up to size would take twice as long.
