So this grow ill attach some pictures. I tried topping a little my plants a couple times for the first tine. And some light stress training. I have seen other growers and they have tops all equal and can make one or two plants fill an entire grow tent. I have 11 plants in my 7 by 7 along with 3 2000watt led grow lights. I have my lights to wear they are getting 1100 ppr. Which I thought was optimal. My plants looks very healthy and each one has about 6 colas or more a plant that all look good. I guess my question is other than lollipopping light stress training and topping. Is there something else I can do to make the plants bigger. What are these guys doing that they are getting massive plants and like 20 colas a plant? Is it genetics as much as ways to grow. I guess I'm wondering why my plants are only about 2 and a half feet tall and bushy. Either way attach are pic of my grow. This is only my 3rd grow so still very new. Also the strains I'm growing are blue dream,do si do, and girl scout cookies.
Any advice for next grow?

I didn't even click on the pics. They hurt my eyes enough being tiny.
I couldn't imagine having to look at that daily.

Buy a full spectrum LED or go HID. It’s all about light. Always.
I'm colorblind so I can't see red lol they don't bother me
It is full spectrum I just have Bloom on only right now. Since they are in flowering
Thank you I will look more into that. I only did it one time for a couple days that was probably the problem. Appreciate the advice
Lol 6000watts of led its really bright in there

If your light has separate veg and bloom switches you'll want them both on for the entire grow.
That's not 6000w.
It's 3 2000s and I changed it to full. now my tent is purple not red and thank you I thought I only was suppose to have blue on for veg and red for bloom . Thanks for the advice

Now you see colors? Lol! You listed the modell name. That panel probably only draws 380w.

Yeah, may want to look into different leds in the future. You’d almost need 1000 true watts from the wall for your space if it is 7’x7’ unless you cordon off a section for a flower area and keep small section for mother and seedlings...
Blue plus red is purple I don't need to see to know what makes what man. And thanks I have alot better lights just thought these were suppose to be good. Appreciate all the help

I'm just picking your hairs bud. Next time just take pictures without the lights on. Nobody likes "Blurpees" here I'm afraid. I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavors! Cheers!
Thank you this is very helpful I have 3 other bigger lights that are more powerful ill install these tonight instead
