I was recently experimenting with some plants and figured this is a great chance to illustrate the differences of each technique. I am not saying one is better than another or one yields more, simply trying to help growers visualize the concepts and view them right next to each other, using the same plants, same age, lighting, nutes, atmosphere, etc

So onto the details.

Plants were all Nirvana Aurora Indica clones, nearly identical in size and nodes, rooted and transplanted to 16 0z cups on 3/10/07.
Light source is a single 4' fixture with 2 x Philips 40 watt daylight (6500K) bulbs. Light schedule 24/0
Distance to plant tops from light was ~ 1 inch, maintained by raising lower/shorter plants to same level
Temps were a consistent 65-68 degrees, plenty of fresh air
Watered individually by container weight, ~ 2x a week
Foliar feeding only for all 1xweek with Fox Farms Grow Big (6-4-4) - 1 tsp/gal PH 6.4
All alternative techniques were started on 8th day of xplant into cups ie 3/18/07- giving 7 days to settle in and one feeding - All were on node 4
Pics are from Day 31 after xplanting rooted clones. Std. DVD case used for size reference

Now onto the show!
