anyone do a side by side grow.....

[MrPuffAlot]

Same strain, planted same time and etc.

One being LST'd/Supercropped/pruned or what ever
and other being totally left alone.

im curious of the differnce of the Main colas from un LST'd plant
and LST'd multiple colas.

pictures would be greatly appreciated.

:D

I don't have any pics man, but I've seen literally hundreds of examples. The main cola of a naturally grown plant will be of awesome size quite often.

When an outdoor plant is pruned, trained or whatever, the end result is usually the same end weight of bud, but it's made up of smaller colas on many tops. To gain the massive center-main cola, just leave the plant to grow naturally. It will be much taller and have that inspiring main cola that will just astound you.

On my very first grow I had 3 plants from seed and I did just that. I LST'd one plant, topped another and let the last one grow naturally. The results were:

Left alone: 1 ounce
Topped (once): 2 ounces
LST'd (tied down): 3 ounces

The environment was the same for all three plants. I know this for a fact because they were all grown in the same pot. I don't have any pictures because I was too worried back then.

Like I said, it was my first grow so I really didn't know what I was doing. I was happy to get ANY bud. There could be other factors that I missed.

Now that I've got a few grows under my belt, I'd like to try that again with clones to get more accurate numbers.

This was an inside or outside grow?

On a grow that is potted such as what you've said, the results would differ from that which was grown naturally in an outside grow.

The results I was speaking of were as a result of a full season, outside grow of the same strain in the ground. When other control factors are indrotuced, those results will vary as you've seen.

i am doing a side by side, indoor vs outdoor grow. One plant of each will be topped, and one outside will be tied down. Most will be allowed to grow without topping as the season gets shorter by the day and i started late. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Mine was inside, vegged under 200 watts of fluorescent tubes and flowered under a 400W HPS.

One thing that could account for the differences in yields is that, while they were the same breed, they could be different phenotypes. That is why I would like to try the experiment again with clones. If for no other reason, just so I can say I did it.;)
