I don't want to come off as a d*ck. This is a really nice place to learn along with being a superb community of peers. I really enjoy being a part of this website. But, if I specifically say I'm not going to supercrop, two posts ago, that's the way it's going to be.
The Sea of Green technique of growing utilizes many plants placed in close proximity to others. This encourages the individual plants to concentrate their growth towards terminal buds/colas instead of lateral branches. This is where an Indica dominant plant shines.
After my last chop I gleaned some first hand data, albeit strain specific.
My first observation is that the 2 Liter Hempys took up less than a 2'x2' footprint in the flowering tent. They yielded more than one of the much larger former mothers; not less than the other former female-which took up the same amount of floor space.
The big difference, from my personal observation, is that the Hempys were easier to trim. The nugs were denser. No Popcorn (And I heavily defoliated all the plants). 16 manicured 2 Liter Hempys took less than two hours to trim. The former mothers (heavily pinched, topped, and LST'd) took around 8 hrs each.
I've always been about quality over quantity; always. I prefer to have fully dense nugs vs lots of popcorn. So, I'm still not going to FIM, Top, LST, or Super Crop this set of clones. Perhaps in the future, just not now. I'm solely basing this on my personal experience and the fact that any of these techniques (again, in my personal experience) is counter productive to what I'm going for.
Additionally, from what little I've been able to find about Holy Grail Kush, it doesn't like any of that.
I originally asked a question pertaining to veg time. Thank you John for answering that. I'm able to start investing some more $$$ into my setup. Even so, no trees, shortest possible veg time. It depends on how this round goes, but looking at the media used, veg time, and a hell of a lot more nutes required, I'm thinking my next grow will be back to the 2 Liters.
