Final tally in, nothing unexpected really. This is prime buds only, I don’t bother trimming or weighing the fluffy stuff because I use it to make butter which saves a lot of trimming. 3.5oz Bubba, 4.5oz Hindu Kush, 4oz Glueberry OG and 4oz Pineapple Chunk.
I initially intended on all plants being grown under 14”x15” screens in 3 gallon pots but due to the previous grow not cooperating the Kush were too hard to lay down so stuck with the manifold and put them in 5 gallon pots. A grow comparison wasnt the intent and I know there’s other factors involved (strain differences and lack of space to spread the manifolds out) but I still thought it was worth mentioning that 4 plants manifolded in 5 gallon pots produced less bud than 2 plants under screens in 3 gallon pots. Btw I actually stopped at 4oz each Bc I was tired of trimming and sent the rest of each plant to the butter bin not to mention zero fluff on either plant grown under a screen.
My conclusion, other methods are prettier but if you want more quality bud or a bigger yield, put your plants under a screen.
