Since with the first 4 autos I have more than enough weed for a long long time, I thought I’d set up grow #2 as an experiment.
We are allowed in Virginia to grow 4 plants at once which is just fine by me. I think I will plant 2 strains…and have one of each as a “control” where I do feed and water them but no topping, no LST and no extra light. The other plant of each type I will give it what’s above plus everything I can throw at it.
At the end of the harvest I will measure the difference based on grams of dry bud comparison.
This will give me a sense of how much to obsess or not obsess about the process or just chill about it. I have two identical lights that I can raise or lower independently so as to keep some variables relatively even.
Are doin bottled nutrients or organic .i would do one using bottled nutrients and the other using organics and see which comes out the best and see which one has more deficiencies and nute burn over the period of the grow what do you think of this idea but still giving one lst and other training and the other no training at all
Organic may be above my know how… but let me think on that. Still have 2 weeks before the last auto is harvested so I have some time. Don’t want to risk killing or severely stunting any of the plants.
Ok its means either using natural nutrients like volcanic rock dust fertilizer and worm castings and bat guano and organic compost or u can use dry amendments like down to earth or living soil that sort of thing
I do that a lot with gg clones. I have an lst…a trainwreck and a straight up right now. Huge differences. The straight up lightly pruned gonna be the winner.
I’ll take that wager, I’m your Huckleberry!
150 - 200%…That’s if your Variables are spot on! Lights/Feed/Microbes/PM/Temps/RH/Medium/Vent/Genetics/veg time(autos NM)
There will be a prize! A $6.23 loupe…? or something. I’m not that cheap. I’ll think of something
Just to be perfectly clear, the means of calculation would be if the control (Xmas tree version) was let’s say 56g, then a 150% increase would be equal to a total of 140g of weed on the high maintenance version. (140-56)/56x100%=150%
I would average the results for each strain and that’s the result.
I’d guess 75% but I’m not allowed to enter my own contest of course.
