I have a 4.5h X 3.3 X 3 feet box, currently 9 good indica seedlings growing in soil and coco, 2gl pots, 400w hps.
since these are seeds are not fem, a regular scrog is not an option for me. I was thinking of a modular per-plant scrog, which has strong advantages and hardly any disadvantages, it can even be easily made into an arena shape and Vscrog. However, the long grow time may render it unwise for my current grow. But I will do it if it's worth it. Which brings me to the important question:
what is the BEST and most efficient in time/yield method to maximize yield from the space?
I am using all the area I have right now, and I have the option of using double pots (original pot fitted on top of and identical pot), which will take up height but not area, and then double the root space. Most likely that I will.
But I wonder - with 400hps and very bushy indicas, perhaps just topping the main stems and then the sideshoots can be enough for a good canopy with lots of yield?
the thing about scrog is that while it produces more buds and more area space, i am under the impression that the buds produced are a lot smaller than main cola and therefore not as cool. But grams and ounces can't lie - has anyone ever compared identical setups of scrog vs. bush?
