Hi Red...how`s tricks mate? Red, I respect your grows mate. Granted, you have mighty powerful lighting but that means nought if you can`t transfer that to yield. Now, I`ve always gone for semi field of green grows, kinda thing...12 plants yielding 1-2 ounces if not more and build stock up then shut down for summer. Now though I`m letting them have more room working towards only having 6 in there from Jan onwards. I`ve grown 4oz plus plants but those were auto`s strangely enough and I had less plants and more space. Now though I`m manifolding and working on 11-14 stems a plant. I`ve let them get taller-17-18 inches-in veg and give them loads of light and airflow...600hps when flipped. Red, my question is this, would this approach and the way I`m growing now lead to higher, wider plants and will they naturally give a greater yield . This is a chat over a cuppa and a volcano but since there`s roughly 4, 500 miles between us this will have to do sadly. I had to chop a Red Diesel down today. She had been truely infested with mites and was a silvery yellow...my eye sight isnt good and hps lighing doesn`t help-now, Anyway,I now know what to look for it`s a different story but that was a pain. Any advice regarding growing question mate would be appreciated. I haven`t put this out as a general question as I want specific advice from someone I respect who is aware of my grows. Blast out any advice, I don`t take offence...well, not when you`re 4,500 miles away. Thanks mate for any input
