Ok so ive been at it a couple years but its been all soil prior my last couple harvests. Moved to a new spot and build a new table based flood and drain hydro system..running 3 4x8' tables, 8 600w hps and theres 1 1000w metal in there too. 260 plants in total. My first harvest i pulled out 6.1lb and the second was 5.3 however i was dealing with temp issues during those nasty summer months. This time around i'm not totally sure but I hope i make 5 the way its looking right now. I had some powdery mildew to deal with last time around, its back in a limited capacity this time, much more manageable with proper temps..hate that shit. Anyways I was wondering what you guys thought were some of the more important aspects for consistently high yields? I think my nutrient schedule is pretty complete, of course i try and read my plants best i can as well.. what do you consider your essential nutes? ive got pineapple express on the table, ive found it to be the best ive tried for a combo of high yielding and great looking. I'm about 10-12 days out from finished.

I had an old timer tell me to use a a fresh cut soft wood spike(maple birch extra) and shove it through the stalk at the base right at the last week or two leave it in till chop leave every thing else the same. do a side by side see what happens I have not had a chance to try it. just try it on like 2 plants that have a twinish plant next to them. see whats up, it maybe a good thing who knows.
take a branch and shave off all the bark and sharpen the tip down make it small enough the plant doesn't rip in half. I am very interested in this he said it bulks up the flowers really fast and thats about it.
