Small SOG - questions, help!
Lol, waaaay too much trouble. And 800 watts for 7 square feet would seem like overkill; that'd be 112 watts per square foot, or 16,000 lumens per square foot. These were started from clones, so I don't see why new clones of these clones would make any difference. I started the clones flowering 2 days after taking them out of the EZ-Cloner. Was the mistake that I let them expand their roots for those two days instead of flowering immediately? They were all 3" or 4" tall, at most, when I began flowering.
At this point, they're less than 4 weeks from being done, and I'm guessing they'll give me six-ish ounces of buds for smoking, plus some leaves and popcorn buds for cooking. I'd rather have that than nothing!
The question is, since these were all clones, and I flowered very quickly after taking them out of the cloning machine and putting them into pots, *why* did they get so big? I may try this SOG experiment again, with some NYC Diesel clones, but I think I'll probably just go back to ScroG -- easier to water/feed 2 or 3 plants than it is 24. Safer too, legal-wise.
I have six more of these clones in a 4'x4' box with a 1k light. They do have more room there, and they are more budded up because of that, but they're also quite large, not much different than these 24. And that's with those 6 clones sitting right under a 1k light. So, it's not the light levels being inadequate making them get so big, it's something else.
Could be that AK-48, or the phenotype I have of AK-48, is just not ideal for SOG-style grows.jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . Small SOG - questions, help! Okay, here's a pic of a SOG experiment. I normally use ScroG, but thought I'd play around some with a sea of green, see how it went. There are 24 plants in there (in a 46"x20" space, 3.75 plants per square foot). The strain is Nirvana AK-48 and it's on day 31 of flowering in this pic. They are in 24 separate 1/2-gallon square pots. Question: is this normal? Look how freakin' big they are! I pulled out a ruler and measured last night, and they are about 33" tall, not counting the pot, about Rating: 5
