Why only 6-8 inch at flower??? The plant would only be 12-16 inches when harvest...
Yes, but it would be all nice top bud, no inferior fluff.

thats not entirely tru these plants (depending on strain) go through a immense stretching period for the first few weeks of flowering. i threw a bag seed for kicks in my system mostly sativa at 6" and its at week 4 of flower and sitting at exactly 36".Why only 6-8 inch at flower???

Sorry I forgot to elaborate on the strain issue. It all depends on the genetics of your plants. Mine triple in size and from what I remember you had height issues you had to address.

http://en.seedfinder.eu/database/strains/alphabetical/p/The strain will be Grand Daddy Purp..... Does anyone know the genetics of this strain..
I was thinking about using (2) 600 watters on light movers over (4) 4'x4' trays... Would this be good???With a 600, you can do about 3-4 plants per sq ft, up to 3 sq ft. You won't be able to use the whole tray and get good bud density. 9-12 plants, clustered in the middle of the tray is about right.
Also, you will want to use a Sea of Green arrangement for best yield. Immediately after your clones set root, chuck them in to flower under the 600. Prune off all branching that pops up, basically denude the bottom 1/3 of the plant. Branches restrict airflow and produce leafy, wispy buds that are a bastard to manicure for little yield. Best to just not grow them. Removing branches dramatically improves airflow between the plants, reducing the possibility of mould; it also forces the plant to grow the big, dense upper colas and improves their size and density. SoG produces uniformly short plants that don't need a lot of lighted space and produces the best yields because the major budmass is in the highest intensity part of the pattern from artificial lighting.
See the '2 weeks' link in my sig.
Hay Geeb, good to hear from you. Hope everything's normal for you.Hi Al.. Happy New Year...!!!
All the Best from the far North....
I'm not a fan of light movers at all. If you think you need a light mover, you either need more lights or need to be less ambitious with the amount of area you're trying to light. I don't think I'd use a 600 on an area bigger than 3'x4'.I was thinking about using (2) 600 watters on light movers over (4) 4'x4' trays... Would this be good???
Yep, agreed.I was happy with 4x 600s over 4x 3x3 trays... but I certainly would not want less light than 600w per 3x3
When I wrote the '2 weeks' thread, I misjudged the size of the trays I have. You'll find some errata notes in the first page of that thread if you go look. My trays are actually 900mmx900mm (35.4" x 35.4"), a bit smaller than 4'x4'. But yes, I'm using 2x 1000 over the 4x 900x900mm trays.So (2) 1000 Watters will work for (4) 4x4 trays?
