Hey RivetGrl! Thank you for the help and dam that is a lot of weight is that strain auto or photo? Which would yield more 2 autos or photos in same tent and should I do more than 3 gal pots for 2 plants in that space or wouldn't make a diff? With that much space you think lst or natural would yield more or about the same?
That haze was a photo, I vegged her to long actually which was perfect (needed space in the flower tent) and she took almost 11 weeks just to flower, so really you could probably run autos and get bigger yield in the same time. But I love my photos, and that haze was a blast to grow. I usually don't get big yields so I really am looking forward to seeing what less plants will do for me.
I find LST yields more as I open the lower bud sites to the light. But it take up way more square footage when ya got a wide plant. But, less work if I grow three big plants where I used to have six DWC buckets in that 4X4 tent, way too much, then to four, and now three.
Depending on strain it looks like you can get a huge harvest with autos, I've just been a photo grower for years off and on so I don't have as much experience with the autos. I will be running a Fantasamo Express soon, and a Sweet Seeds Green Poison XL. Interesting to note, the breeder of my Moonshine Haze is the same one Mephisto used for the FE, Rare Dankness. So I'm really looking forward to their genetics in an auto!
I feel like I am blathering and not really helping. Sometimes, it comes down to you keeping growing and seeing what ends up working for you. Have fun, don't overthink it or stress about it.
I got one grow buddy local that we pretty much talk growing all the time, so I can chat for hours about it tho
Anything horticulture related really.
