Difference between plants when using seeds....

Interesting.... I thought there was extra veg time involved in scrog? I'll start to read up on it. I'm growing 8 plants in a a 8' x 4' space, with a HLG 550V2 over each 4' x 4' space (containing four plants). If I were to scrog, how many plants would I need to cover that area?
I went from 8 RDWC buckets in my 5x5 to 4 -17 gal tote UC setup. Much easier to grow 4 large plants rather than 8 shrubs. Also agree with using a trellis net to spread your canopy-you will get much better yield.

There is significant extra veg time and is why commercial growers do not utilize this approach. You are correct
Thanks dude, I thought as much. I think this time I'll go with 8 seeds and see how they turn out.

Can you use the trellis net without scrog? I do have one, it came with the tent.

You don't need to keep a mother.
Clone plant just as you put her into the flower tent. Veg clone. Clone plant as you put her into the flower tent. Veg clone...etc etc etc. No mother needed and no extra light needed.

Thanks man, but I have a single tent for veg/flower.

Not for long...lol...
:) He He.. The only problem is my entire room is a controlled environment, i.e. I have two large air-con units, two large de-humidifiers and a C02 system. This does the whole room including the large tent, so for veg I like a canopy temp of 29 degree c with RH of 80% and C02 at 1000ppm, then change this for flowering. Not sure how these changes would affect a mother plant or clones. I think I'll see how it goes with seeds for now and look to change in the future.
