Nugs, really awesome thread. I'm on my first grow with bag seed, but I really want to try this on my 2nd grow. I'm just about to flip to flowering on my first run. I just had a couple questions after reading through most of this, 1. I have a 1000W MH/HPS, and I'm wondering how many you would suggest I could fit under it comfortably, and 2. How much do you yield off of one of those plants? Seems like it would be a nice yield obviously since they're all beautiful cola's. I saw you say 4 plants can work, but just wondering if more would fit, and yield you tend to get per plant. What's the strain you've found to work the best for this?

i have to adjust that.....i can get a clone plant ready in as littla as 45 days from the day it shows roots....read the last ten pages or so, i just flipped mine yesterday.....any strain can be main-lined, and if i were you i would run 4- 16 headed main-lines under your 1K, if yield is what you are after....you should be able to easily harvest a lb. with that set up...i know this thread is long, but it is packed with good stuff, and imho well worth the time.....good luck.

They have two 400 metal halide and 125(big) cfl and three t5 for light under conopy. Oh and they bigggest bushyness factor is i beg under the 12-1 light regiment or known as the lantern effect. Works awesome for horizontal growth and instead of hard topping or aoft topping i fim every rwo weeks or less and i super crop all the time. Love the thread and ill give you all update.

I also am a convert to these new super roots airpots they kick ass for root mass. I am trying for 64 heads a plant 
. How many 64 header plant could fitunder a 1000 ?? My guess is two or one. .. I veg in a bc northern lights producer.

I have read the thread, I just wasn't sure if with a 1000W you could fit a lot more or what. I also asked his general yield so I can subtract a good portion and shoot for that as I'm inexperienced.

I have been using these on my smart pots just clip them on and run some pipe cleaners,they can be easily moved and dont do any damage to your pots.

What's up nerds?
Back with a a few quick shots of my Cheese Quake main-lines. I'm REALLY stoked on how even I'm able to keep the canopy with this technique. Just elevate the shorties to match the height of the taller ones, and you're good to go!
In about another 5 days to a week, I'll prune the understory and secure each top in it's designated canopy spot.
