Hey Buddy!!
Hmm its all happpenig in here ay?! Good to see your outdoor gals are still kicking
Hope you get some good results from them..
So whats happened with the indoor ones? Are your pots around 30L size?
Cos if you Vegged them til about 3ft and LST d them,and then flipped - Even if you only got 2ft stretch, thats a 5.5ft plant still!
Youd get a pound from each for sure IMO - at 5ft x 4ft, Id tip 17oz harvest.. But then we must look at what you said about increasing your lighting power. I can use a 400w in my 4.5x8.5ft space and grow decent plant LST d and grown to 4ftx4ft and I could still get close to a pound, but for a taller plant - a 600w may be better - as I did notice that during this flower as Kiksum was shorter and I defol'd her, light got further down each branch increasing each buds size and amount p/branch.
Some will argue that you only have 30" of good growing range for your lights penetration, but if the plants LST d and trimmed in such a way that it allows light further down, and in more amount than not trimming it. So theoretically you could increase the distance at which the plant recieved certain amount of Lumens by trimming it.. Cindy was 6.5ft tall and there was good growth til about 4.5ft - 2ft was trimmed off at the lower part of the branches, similar to a SCROG - (minus the screen). So thats over 48 inches of light - not 30"..
But yeah you need to know your limits and what your equipment can handle, I am still trying to work out if my Globe supplier was full of crap saying the globe is one of the best and his customers have all said good things, IDK much about the spectrums etc; well, a little, but I am not sure if he was tryin to get a few extra buks outta me!! I was a sucker and got it
But plants have done ok under it so maybe few extra buks was worth it??Hope all goes well mate. Take care, chat soon. Smokemup
