Does a 1' plant produce as much as a 3' plant cut down to 1'

[PadawanWarrior]

hah, yall funny
No height issues just curious how much the root mass /girth of things weighed in. Obviously more nodes is more points that can flower.

Ya, a 3' plant topped and let allowed to recover will totally produce more than a 1' plant untopped.

Sorry man, but I'm kinda a smart ass. I have good intentions though, lol.

Don't lie to the OP! You are a well known purveyor of HaterAid and Trollhouse cookies.

 

[Samwell Seed Well]

I disagree

You will not get more yield from an older plant of similar size and structure.

Not as much as many think. If medium has lots of nutes and roots dont have to go searching, you dont get a large rootball. That's why hydros have ridiculous 5gal full of roots, they dont access to nutes, so they are constantly growing looking for nutes...my rootballs in soil are nowhere near that spaghetti mess, just a compact net of small roots. Rootspace is more critical for plant size, not so much the flower itself.

Not at all, Like you have distributed single into multiples, Now the strength is divided. earlier the single can give its 100% and now the multiples cannot give their maximum potential. So it is not a great idea to cut down a single plant into 3 parts to obtain the maximum benefit from this technique.

I don’t think that’s how this works, but that is how apical dominance works.

In plants, the old cut down part will not be able to yield that much in comparison to the new one. The old similar structure sucks!

Wrong.

 

[Knowurhyphae]

See, it was a silly question ...
Yet clearly debatable.

The three foot one cut down will yield more. It has a much larger root structure.

 

[Masterdank420]

follow?
If you take a 3 foot plant and chop it down to 1 foot and flower does that produce more than a 1 foot plant flowered?
does all that extra maturity somehow transfer or is it all wasted?

I'd say container size and the width of the plant canopyare more of a factor than height when it comes down to yield.

No, not if the pot isn't larger.

i as learned once that the more weight a branch can hold = more eight a branch will hold.

I've had plants that couldn't support the weight of their buds on their own. You could have real thick branches and nothing but popcorn nugs too.
