Here’s some exciting stuff happening. They were showing deficiencies a few weeks ago, so I switched to tap water and the bounced back quick. I took these pictures Saturday. They’ve stretched a decent amount since and the canopy is full. The second picture is plants from regular seeds, so that tent will get thinned out a little more pretty soon.

Tap water is the best. I always had deficiency’s when running RO too, since switch to tap things run a lot smoother always.

My exp on SOG was 12" plants turned into 40" plants by week 4.Budding was slow to start as they just kept stretching.Pending on strain I guess, but trimming all side growth off early helped if your tight on room.

Same here. Top once or twice early on. Pack them fuckers in. Take off everything except the tops then flip. Depending on strain, flower from 12 to 20" to end up with nothing but a 4' canopy.

Impressive numbers by the light, not by the plant. If plant count is not relevant, this is the best way to grow. IMO

Yes, pending I guess on what you call SOG,Single colas are big but nothing below it.So if weight is what your after you need more sqft and more light.Also plant count gets a little nuts,keeping 60-80 clones going isnt easy.

I scrog and heavily prune my plants, so I don't think it would be that big of difference. I also have around 75 clones going right now. Though that number will be reduced to 50 soon. My biggest issue would be height because of the flood table.

Wouldn’t you want to flip those clones right away?

Yes if you have moms and enough for 15-40 clones or whatever. 2 weeks to root and then flip.But I found they dont even show pistols for 2-3 weeks.Strain pending i guess.Back in the day I only had one strain so thats ME. Different now with so many different strains.

If they are destined to be flowered I put them into roughly 1/2 gallon fabric pots. If they are destined to become bonsai mothers I put them into 4" rockwool cubes. Both go into dutch leach trays and under a T5.

T5's are nice for clones. I would never veg under but if you keep the temps down, you can keep them well stocked without them growing very much at all until you are ready for them. Almost a dormant stage of growth.

I actually used to veg and keep normal sized mothers under them. I had 16 bulbs going in a 4x4 tent that stayed unzipped, and somehow it worked well enough. It was when I first started growing, so they probably weren't great looking plants. I usually only vegged them for a few weeks before moving them into the flowering tent though. I typically had 24 vegging plants and two mothers in the same tent for probably a year. Looking back it doesn't even seem possible.
