Technique to improve yield

[ShivaShakti]

Best control over the growing process one has, when one does growing clones from a mother. So one knows the phenotype and can fill the tent according to that.
But just one strain is for me kinda boring... I like growing from seeds. I like it to be suprised. I like it to harvest many strains and have a greater variety of weed at the end.
So my grow mix looke like this.
I put the short growing indicas directly under the light. And the tall growing sativa dominant genetics at the edges and corners. So they get also light along their Branches.
2 stativas left, 2 in back and 2 sativas at right. One should lean the plants towards the tent walls by putting an object unter the pots.
looks like this, I am using currently air bags from delivery Service when my orders arrive.

So this naturally improves yield by deeper light penetration and is stress free. From time to time one shoule turn the pots so the leafs facing shadow side also gets light and air. Or one removes them with consideration when one is doing defoliation.

look how the right one gets light even to the bottom and the left one not.

Quality advise for those learning to grow indoor, whether from a clone or seed.
Thanks for sharing some of that savvy of yours.

I'm assuming that this is used as an alternative to scrog netting and lst?

I do a little LST in the beginning. I dont use Scrog Net horizontally because if something goes wrong like having an hermie. But I used my net verticalky on 2 Dr. Grinspoons on left side of my tent. they are doing well. Now after doing in Veg it grows more bushy and develops many equal branches. This time my Tent is a. little overcrowded so I loosened the ropes from my ladies and unleashed the beast during stretch. its really like gym. even if you stop going gym somehow you keep your once trained basic form. same with plants. when I loose them up they dont grow immediately a big cola bud but many small colas. and then I used this technique the reach the branches downside.

Awesome I love seeing different techniques. Id love to see some pictures of the ladies are a later point when the vertical netting is in play. Be interesting to see how it works
