So. I have 5 beastly sativa bagseed mixes that have been vegged for 10 weeks and flowered for 3. 4 of them have been fimmed and LST'ed several times. one is growing solo(i wanted a control to compare yields and make a writeup).
Each of these plants has 8-12 main cola's. the plants range from the tightest and bushiest at 2'x2' to the most widely lst'ed at 3.5'x2.75', and the control, at 3.5'x3'.
I have 1x1000w HPS to flower under. which mens i have about a 5 foot diameter circle in which i need to try to cram these plants. the canopy is actually very even given the different techniques used on different plants. using a cheapo ph water light meter it says i get 2000 lummens on the outer edge of the canopy which is good. but its very indirect light.
Also that is only with them spaced how they are now, which involves about the outer 8" of every plant's bush being intermingled and pushed together. this makes the lower and outermost bud branches get inferior light. they also get beat up bad and are looking stretchy/viney as of late. the buds on these areas are also about 1/3rd the size of the main canopy branches, even tho they are only about 6" lower than the main colas.
Help me oh legends.
