do you think you would yield more/same/less if instead of 8 per tray, 6 per tray and topped with multiple heads instead of just the main head with 8 per tray?

i usually do top in late veg but with this round i didnt cause they where just so small didnt feel they would benefit from it so i decided not too. now i want to veg to 12-18" before flower and my main objective is to at least yield 2 oz per square foot (per plant at 1 square foor) so at 8 square feet a tray that would be 1 lb per tray. im pretty certain the next harvest even at there size should be around 16 oz's dry.. then the next ones (in veg now) with 4 weeks veg should hopefully hit my mark.

gotcha. thats a nice yield per tray, got me a front row seat:eyesmoke:
12-18" before flower and still 8 per tray? wouldnt that be a bit to crowded?
from what i read, not from my experience, they say fora 600w 6-8 plants should be the limit, anything over that you will lose becuase they would be all fighting for the light. now i see you have 3 400s for 2 trays, so i assume the cascading of the 3 lights changes up those estimates.

yup you got it this is why i went with the 3 400's vs the 4 600's for light coverage. it will prably get a bit crowded for that veg time but with some pruning i think they will be ok. also my strains are not massive yielders and dont tent to stretch much in flower so even with that veg time and size (the bubba especially) will be hard to hit those numbers.

@green...did you eventually get the medi bud I suggested? That would certainly help your yields without sacrificing space between plants.

thanks NF i still mosey around in your grow, things are looking good thanks for stopping by mine.

update with some pics on Thursday, my 2 bubba,s farther along in flower are VERY deficient! looks like mag for sure, actually figured out when i was using the hose to do my res changes there was no problems because my houses water softener does not run to the hoses so after this harvest i will be getting a complete R/O system in the room and will be adding my own cal mag from now on. also going to be changing my nutes to the gh flora grow, bloom, micro, i will also be running liquid cool bloom in flower and am going to try some floraclean the last few days to see if it does anything (doubt it but its cheap anyway) o and of course the cal mag will be in there too.

screw it here is some pics of what they look like now they have fattened up in the past week they are 5 weeks through going on to there 6th week i threw a few pics of the bubba's leafs in there as well you can see they are turning purple as well which is awesome. if the leaves whernt so damaged sure they would be beautiful.

the close ups and leaf shots are of the bubbas the other ones are of the WW's and twords the end there is a few plant pics of the ones that are barely in week 2 they will prably be some big buds in the end.

Don't thank me bro, gotta give credit where its due and thanks for ur compliment. Heck man a little deficiency never took the beauty out of a pretty girl like that in my eyes lol. I'm seriously a jello (jealous) cracker. I love everything about ur op. I just wish I could afford to run something like that. I'm kinda glad to hear ull be using the gh 3 part. I'm considering goin all dwc my next grow and have the humboldt 3 part which seems the same to me, don't care if ones a knock off of the other; as ppl say. Maybe if u have time I could PM u and get some pointers on dwc. If not I more than understand tho bro, ill still be following this work of art u have. +rep for professionalism
