Good times and vibes! Seems like there must be a sweet spot for veg time over plant size. Once they get going, one week can be a huge amount of growth. Just kind of curious if you keep wattage fixed, and graph out over veg time and output to see where it is... could be fun, if a terribly long experiment. ;)

@EngineeringIsMagic i think you are right there is definitely a point where the plants come into their own and take off. i have absolutely zero evidence to support this, but i think the WAY higher levels of benificials that i used after transplanting to the HPS garden really helped this. once under HPS for a few days i started hitting them with a good amount of tarantula and cobra (cashcrop nute) mixed together. about 5 days after i started this they went crazy!

@EngineeringIsMagic have never kept a log to find out really when the plants begin to take off, but it would be an interesting one for sure. maybe next grow.

@LBCengineer or anyone that knows.. I've been looking around for a good tent and I like many things about yours. What size, name, how much & where? Thanks so much if u can help me .. I know it's a lot of q& a but I'd b very greatful

@SF10DANK sorry for late reply. this tent is called a Growlab GL-120L. i really love it. i grew my sour grapes in a homebuilt enclosure the same size and this tent kicks that thing that i built's ass. it is 4Lx8Wx7H. they are pricey (around 500 i think) but i got mine on craigslist for 215! i would recommend periodically checking CL for these things (tents and other grow stuff) because they seem to pop up (at least near to me) quite frequently.

@LBCengineer this is incorrect they sat for about 3 weeks under the flouroscents, now that i check my notes. then to the HPS.

@CannaGrow420 sorry for the late replies i have been out of town with no access to anything really. all my plants start from clones from my own mothers, so the times i give do not include the 2-3 week rooting phase. and the clones i take are big. im not interested in small plants so i dont start them small. once they come out of the domes they sat for about 3.5 weeks or so under the 4 bulb T5, then 2.5 weeks actually under HPS veg cycle, so about 6 weeks of veg plus 3 weeks rooting.

Good shit bro i feel LST is by far the most easiest way to increase yield this could possibly be in the top 2 of your biggest harvest i think good luck!!!

@LBCengineer So your saying those monster plants had a total of 5 weeks of veg time? From seed? Or were they clones? Im not trying to question your methods, you obviously know what your doing so I just wanted to know how far behind I am.
