I'm currently doing an experiment on LST vs normal growing on the same autoflowering strain to see about yield increases but yes it seems as if LST (tying the plants over to spread out an even canopy) is making a difference (+30-50%) for me at least.

I've also found that the Fox Farms fertilizers I'm currently using (Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Beastie Bloomz) are doing better for me than other products I've tried so you might want to change fertilizers on your next grow to find one that works for your style, the current mix sounds like a lot of room for error having to mix 9 things! I'm also using the Happy Frog soil, but in 1-2 gallon pots because it's a dwarf strain.
redtails Reviewed by redtails on . getting ready for round 3....need advice! So I'm getting ready to start my 3rd grow cycle with some new clones. The first grow I had 3 purple Kush and 3 Grapefruit Diesel. They grew to about 18" and at the end of flowering I ended up with about 2oz of GD and 1 oz of PK. I didn't get too disappointed since it was my first time trying on my own. So my 2nd grow I had 3 Blue dreams and 3 Querkle. One Querkle never took off in vegging. The other 2 Q's were ok. I introduced Co2 into my 2nd grow and did notice a difference in Rating: 5
