Well if space isn't an issue id grow a bunch like mine and harvest some really big numbers LoL
Really though a SoG is a wonderful way to go BUT running different strains under one light can make it hard to keep an even canopy. I like having them in pots so I can arrange the shorter plants to the middle where the light is most intense, sorta like a stadium. A trellis is good to hold the top colas up and keep pots from falling over.
When I grew Shiva going straight from clone into flower they ended up over 40 inches tall with big 20 - 22 gram colas. Id lollipop them at day 20 of 12/12.

Yep theres a few bonuses to switching for sure.
Soil is nice and simple too tho, water every few days and watch the plants. But when they want to gouge the shit out of me, i have to look at changing.
This time of year, none of our gardening stores are even opened, so not alot to choose from, hydro store or amazon really.
Almost seems like with Coco automated is the only way to go, especially if running lots of plants.
Depending on my plant count, if i decide to go SOG ill automate for sure, but if im still just growing 4, ill just stick with hand watering
Im in the process of getting my ACMPR, 50 plants....ill have options then

Correct me if im wrong here. But if i wanted to grow like you, id need so much more lighting and environment control compared to a sog wouldnt I? for potentially upwards or 40 plants . Id want 4-6 mothers for sure.
Space isnt an issue at all, as we talked about before, the new space will have minimum 10` ceilings and the foot print can be anything within 22x30.
originally i was thinking Trees like yours, with only 4 plants allowed, it seemed to make the most sense. But with potentially 50, i can just take clones of whichever mother i decide to run and SOG with no veg time.
Or am i looking at this wrong and should be considering 2 rooms still, veg/flower. grow trees and yield huge.
Do you want me to take this stuff to my thread and we can clog that one up? sorry man, your always my go to guy for asking all this stuff, before i ask others lol your journal is full of me asking and you answering lol

forsure, if you did it like mine but I was just getting all starry eyed thinking about having that many plants. Like 150 pound harvests lol Oh yeah baby! That would be a lot of work to harvest and trim.
Thats one area where a SoG does well, it trims fast if you lollipop and just have giant colas.
You can chat anywhere you please brother!

Most of it is dry, been trimming away. Very impressed with the smoke, hits like a freight train. It was always strong and whatnot but these nugs are definitely more potent and hashier. Denser too. I am a fan of these finishing bulbs. Can't wait for next round with those bulbs at the end. I will veg them longer and make them bigger. These are gonna be good ones.

that answers my next question lol
i was wondering if you noticed any difference in resin after using the MH to finish.

Niiice on the MH bulbs for finishing, when I used to run Blackberry Kush back in the day we stumbled across the MH phenomenon when a HPS bulb burned out the last two weeks.
I know it was mentioned in the thread but what color temp did you rock for the MH? I’m coming up on the end of my cycle and was going to do the same
Happy growing

I have been trying to upload some pics since yesterday. I can't seem to get an image to upload. I have rebooted me computer and all that. I see other people uploading images, I dunno... Maybe someone can try to upload a pic to this thread??
Anyways I have the next round moved in to flowering rooms from the veg room. Have them vegging in there by using the row end lights on the opposite rooms power. That way when the overhead lights in a room go off the end row lights come on. That will keep them vegging while I get them to widen out with the trellis and fill the area up. CO2 is set to stay between 750 and 1000 PPM and temps are right about 88 at the canopy. I have the humidity at 65 - 70% right now, swamp coolers are working hard lol. Feed strength is 1000 PPM.
