It all depends...mostly on strain...some plants will barely grow at all during flowering...but with most strains, it usually grows that much...

Well, since you are new to this, I would suggest a 400 watt HPS system...you can probably do 8 plants at the most, IMO...

Ok, you should've said you wanted to do it big from the get-go!!! lol...but if you wanna do 60 plants at a time, with the best results...I would recommend 6x 1000 watt hps systems per room, in coco drip irrigation systems...or an Ebb N' Gro system (Don't use CAP systems, they're made of low quality material, btw) and for even better results and higher yields invest in some CO2 supplementation if you can!

Hi, just wandering if there's a set technique for trimming the little bottom branches off my plant and also whether i should cut off the big leaves nearer the top that are blocking the new branches from growing up underneath them?

Cheers

Well, there is no specific technique, but it is referenced as "lollipopping"...defined as, removing lower shoots and leaves that get little to no light, with the intentions of increasing yield...but cutting off upper, healthy leaves, IMO, is not a good thing, these leaves act as solar panels for the plants, and the more leaves the more energy can be absorbed, resulting in more bud production...

Cheers mate I'll take your word for it cause i have no idea what I'm doing yet! When i cut off the bottom branches do i cut them half way along between the nodes or closer to the stem (if that's what its called?!)

Cut it right of the main stock of the plant...(Remember, only the ones that are really behind and have no chance! ;)

Hey Bob! Since I see you are using advanced nutes I thought I would hit you up with a question. I have just switched over to AN from Canna and am about to give my vegging girls a dose of sensi grow a/b. I know it is a two part nutrient that you mix together into your water but what I am unclear on is the dosage. AN says to use 4 ml per L throughout veg. Would that be 2 of a&b for a total of 4ml, or 4ml of a and 4ml of b? I will only be staring out at 1/4 strength as it is but want to make sure I get the proper amounts figured. One last question, what is your favorite song of bob's?
