Hi Image Reaper,

I know I have heard you say that before. I was just telling someone on another thread the object behind my combining LEDs that really don't have much penertration with T5 VHO that don't have good penetration either (compared to HPS) is to grow single cola plants. I think a nice height is 14"-18" tall. I even think using HPS to grow small is more efficent.
Here comes my inflamatory statement:

It is my opinon that the most efficent way to grow mj indoors under artifical light is to grow small single cola plants, as many as your light or space permits.

Here's my thinking: I'm only interested in the bud of the plant. I want it to be as big and nice as it can be; I'm not interested in a big robust stalk many mutiple branches and all the leaf matter that goes to it.....I'm only going to throw it away! Why should I spend my time (it takes longer to grow big) and my money (electric ain't cheap) to grow a bunch of plant material I'm not going to use? Hope you see my point.

Now don't get me wrong, I love a big beautiful mj plant, outdoors. You should see some of our NL crosses in the field, 7-9' tall and at least 12' in diameter.
Just don't have the space or wattage to replicate mother nature inside,even tho they say it's not nice to fool mother nature....I think I can.
