Well that's the basic idea. There is better light at the top for sure and your light penetration is always a limit.

If you want to maximize yield though then veg longer. Bigger plants will produce more bud than smaller plants.

One technique that people use in a SOG is to trim off the bottom few branches which will field relatively small amounts of bud. You could trim up your girls below the waist, give them a week to recover and then flower. You should end up with a bunch of decent colas doing that.
canuck grower Reviewed by canuck grower on . Should I flower them now or wait a little longer -PICS- Hey guys, I have 25 plants under a 1000 HPS lamp. Iâ??m just wondering how tall the plants should get before I turn the light to a 12/12 cycle! I do not want to veg for too long for no reason and still want to maximize my yield. You can see how tall they are right now with the picture with a normal compact disc in front â?¦ Should I flower them now or wait a little longer ???? Thanks for you help, 9KtuFK Rating: 5
