Advice needed with plant numbers n mediums

[Jakeh_16]

hi all,

 

my grow room is not to high, about 6foot.

i have 2 plants with a 400w HPS each.

 

both my plants now are monsters, i can only fit 2 in the room, they have been tied back to the light does not burn them.

 

so i wont be doing that again.

ive been told i should grom about 6 little plants then flower them, he also said i should use perlite and hand water them.

atm im using flood n drain with expanded clay.

 

just wondering if its worth switching to perlite, or keep the recuirculating system.

[loylty gets u nothing]

recurculating system imo

hand watering perlite is a bitch

at least with the system with a pump u have freedom

hand watering requires dedication

if its not broken dont fix it

maybe dont vege as long next time

all the best

man as far as problems go - that's one that most of us would be happy with!

 

I agree with Billo that a recirculating system would be far preferable for perlite/expanded clay growing

hand watering would be a real pain in the ass

 

As far as numbers are concerned, it's really up to you to experiment and see what yields the best - a few monsters or many smaller ones?

 

Good luck,

id def keep the recirculating. if you want to control height you could use a ton of different methods, topping, fimming, LST, scrog, anything really. Height is fairly easy to control with MJ

 

 

I've seen scrog systems that have yielded 10-14 oz per plant and only grew the plant about 4 foot high (from top of pot), including buds.

Thats strange advice..

Sounds like ull have copious bud man! why change? grow em smaller next time
