Ooooww doggies the Double Bubble is good!
Well this is where as
@Bruce Campbell recently stated it is the Law of Diminishing returns at play here. My unwillingness to put in all of that time and work is a diminishing factor but I think space is my greatest limiting factor besides the 6 plant limit here. I could easily fill my 4'x6'x7.5' space with a single photo plant using a manifold technique. I would expect a 4# harvest after 150 days. or I can grow 6 autos in 75 - 90 days and get 2.5# so if you do the time-weight math it is about the same in ounce per month. Autos is the easier and hence my path. As far as quality is concerned I am perfectly BAKED.
I personally believe that the plant knows how to grow what it needs better than I do. It spent energy growing that leaf for a reason. So I don't take leaves off the plant. I do harvest leaves when making salves - my salves work well. I also break the apical dominance by topping. I do this to keep the plant shorter and bushier for the indoor environment.
where am I now?
