I’m interested for curiosity’s sake. I don’t know how people have problems with yield growing Cannabis lol. I’m much more concerned with the potency of my product than how much I produce( only grow for myself, no sell, no tell) although I know that’s not the case for all.

some of those plants look like the ones in the mars thread, quality is definitely shit. i’d be more concerned with quality than anything else too but for people who sell i guess shit ton of mid quality yields better than decent amount of excellent quality

Give it a shot if you want ... but Leaf Stripping/schwazz did not improve my yields. Tested this by doing a selective defoliation grow followed by a total leaf stripping grow. Removed all of the fan leaves save for the first few fans at the top of the branch just before they went into 12/12. And the growing environments were the same for both crops.
The results:
- 14.3 oz. from the 2 plants grown with the selective defoliation method.
- 12.1 oz. from the 2 plants grown with the SCHWAZZ method.
Conclusion:
- Selective defoliation - 1
- SCHWAZZING - 0

StareCase I`ve noticed that the plants not swazzed have bigger top colas (taller, thicker) than do the swazzed plants.
The non-swz plants grew 2`` taller than the swz plants.
There is a lot of larf on the non lollipoped plant.
Another two weeks and I`ll harvest.

I`ll post some pics tonight, 8 weeks in out of about 10 weeks to harvest.

LordEnki I haven't started yet.
Tomorrow I might get 3 hours off work to travel to a grow shop to get the supplies I'll need.

Care to share the PPFD you run in flower with the mover? I am thinking instead of adding more lights get movers and keep lights nice and low early off. I'm having trouble even hitting 2 pounds a light with my LEDs. Fucking hell I have a headache from this.

Gona go out on a limb here and say if you used a light mover you'd increase your gpw and not your gpsf.
Where he has the greatest advantage over your style is the scrog , that allows for more even light across all his buds. Plus because he's got the light mover he can run closer and not get light stress, his canopy is even so that's going to glide along nicely having higher ppf but keeping the DLI the same.
Ultimately your style is trees. Which is never going to yield as much as a scrog with more plants. Least not with a single overhead light source.
From personal experience, 1 plant filling a 4x4 or whatever won't yield as well as 4 plants because the buds always seem smaller on the single plant spread over the same space compared to 4 plants. Maybe its a root mass thing?

I run one Mars hydro 600W. Zero training photo single plant runs. It’s just what I enjoy some people really hate on it bc training is so popular atm. Veg for 10-12 weeks until 36” tall in a 1 gal, flip to a 3 gal. I usually have to pop 6 seeds, take the genetically gifted ones, toss the others. The same way you’d seek a strong mother. Keep a female. If no gifted females, repeat. Which is a lot of waste for some.
do have to water a lot. I’ll attach pics. 8-10 oz. Dry per plant but one can use an entire 3x3x8 easy. People can definitely beat the yield I’m sure but it’s fun for me.

I try to keep my quantum par meter reading between 850 and 1000 at the tops of the colas down the middle. I have added two lights at each end to keep it even, but they are small 100w lights. I have actually lowered the number of plants in the same space to three, scrog net is 3 x 8, so just under 3x3 each. Oh almost forgot I added a UVA bar as well, so I guess I’m no longer in the “one light” club as before.
Yes, this exactly. The scrog along with the light moving allows the light to change angles and get through the canopy better, and cover a larger area. I added end lighting so plants at each end would never be without at least some direct light, shortened the lights path some, and went to three plants to see what happens.

That looks like a 300w mars hydro light?
Yeah I don't train my plants either.
These were about 9 ounces per plant in 2.5 gallon pots when fully dried
