Hi all,

I'm running a 8 x 4 tent with 3 600w lamps. I've always grown between 30 - 50 plants in it but it's just too much to manage now.

Next time round I plan on doing either 8 or 12 plants but growing them a lot bigger. I've never had to train plants to grow big like this to fill out the canopy - can anyone give me the details on how to do it? And veg timescales etc
Topping / LST I guess? As much details as poss would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Low stress train them (tie each branch down to make an even full canopy) or scrog (screen of green) try to get you a top through every square of the net. Less plants will take more veg time to fill the tent. I like to use the nets but after they grow up through it that's where they gonna stay but it also supports the branches along with spreading them out ( I just don't like not being able to move them around etc with the scrog). There is a company makes single stand alone scrogs. Simple yield solutions. May want to check those out. Good luck with however u decide.

Thanks. Yeh I've been using nets currently and hate that I can't move them so will avoid this time. Should I top the plants a few times first or let them grow as normal and tie them down?
