Wow and you got 14oz that's a great result I'm hoping I can get similar results in line with the bigger area because that would just be awesome ... All the best mate and cheers for that

 

[thebeast27]

thanks a lot sleven yea was not a bad yield but it should of been more than that really the autoultimate in my last grow some1 snipped all the main colas off her in mid flower.was not at a safe location as I had trust in a friend.so I only pulled 6 oz dry off the ultimate but I reckon I would of had close to 10 oz off her alone so that's why she is in this grow to try aim for that number lol.time will tell and oviously its down to the led,s performance also.but all going great so far

Beast,

Have you tried the back building techniques? Cutting the tip off of the colas to get them to thicken up? Read about this in one of the forums. I had SUCH good luck topping my Autos that I thought I might try the back building technique as well.

 

[thebeast27]

schtiggy I always backbuild my buds done it for last few years. not quite time yet I like proper bud formation before I snip good heads up tho mate.i saw it time ago now on la,s backbuilding techniques.it is still a thread on here I belive

 

[jhfhklsnhfldk]

Well, you have not steered me wrong yet. In fact I wish I would not have hedged my bet. I only topped 2 but now wish I would have done the others. I had to restart one that died in childbirth and the replacement is coming up on 14 days. Once I top this one I will have 3 topped and 1 not. The one that is not topped looks so small compared to the others. I look at it with regret and am sure it will not produce even half of what the others will.

If you add your back building technique to your journal, I will follow it as well.

 

[thebeast27]

schtiggy yea after topping they turn into bushy beasts .good job mate.and sure when I backbuild il share on my grow so u can see exactly when to do it ul find the 1 u dudnt top will grow much taller than ur topped girls.but maybe not also.sort of strain dependant.time will tell

 

[Sleven]

Never heard of this back building will definitely be giving this a go haha

 

[thebeast27]

sleven search on here LA back building technique.ul find all u need to know in there that's were I discovered it

 

[Sleven]

Cheers beast

Also, check out his (I think it is LA's thread) node spreading technique. I used it from the start with mine and I think it works pretty well. The nodes stacked really tight and i think it might be why I am able to top on day 14 as well. It seems to give the plants a bit of a jump on the next node.

 

[thebeast27]

I found the leds give very tight nodes I had enough growth at 14 days of age to top.then left to grow no ponytailing or anything.ultimate had slight lst tied down 6 of her branches.apart from that .just a few trims.and my plants are doing great upto now led,s are proving great for me so far also

 

[jhfhklsnhfldk]

I am planning on switching to LED after this run. Also due to the success you are having. I read your whole journal before subbing and I know there were a good many posts about the LEDs you use and their cost. I am embarrassed to say that I am too lazy to read through them all again to find out what you use and how much they cost. Could I ask again what you use and their wattage and cost. I was looking at getting 2 Mars II Hydro 900s. They say that they are good from veg through flower and they actually pull 400 watts. Price is good at about $360 each.
