When to top or prune

[johnnyreeferseed]

they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

the first photo is a plant underneath the screen that was topped at the fourth node and tied.

the second photo is a plant below the screen that has been topped and trained by hand.

thanks johnny.. that's a nice setup you have...I was wondering what kind of yield your getting from each bucket?

[pipeman]

beautiful Johnny. I'm interested in some more details, like area of screen, what lights you use, what kind of veg time you need and yield. you know...everything

 

also, a money shot of the top of the canopy would be nice

[johnnyreeferseed]

sure. i will post a money shot this evening.

beautiful Johnny. I'm interested in some more details, like area of screen, what lights you use, what kind of veg time you need and yield. you know...everything

i have one 4x5 screen and 2 4x4 screens. i use gh nutes minus the floragrow. just macro and bloom. they are all under 1000 watt metal halides. except for four which are under a 400 watt hps. i vegged these for two weeks and that was too long as you will see in the oicture i post when the lights come on. i baically followed train's bubbler article over at OG to the letter. cheap and effective. well depnding on your idea of cheap. each bucket has a double outlet aquarium pump attached to the bubblers. could hav spent alot more, lets put it that way.

getting nice and frosty already. right down to the tips of the upper fan leaveshttp://www.bluegrasseeds.com/ubb/image_uploads/Dsc00352.jpg

 

i'm not too sure about yeild, as this is the first time i've grown this strain, but with about 40 days left of flowering, it should be high.
