I need advice on maximizing yield.

It's actually called low stress training. There are guides on how to do it right here on RIU. I'm not trying to be difficult, I just haven't done it myself. Seriously, just search LST, either on here or google.
I talk about this is one of my journal entries. I will be putting up video and pictures of my techniques asap.
 
Hi Dlive, My pics vary which strains that are being used most either Jack Flash, Lemon Kush, GDP, and Platinum Bubba in them. If you are topping and LST with good nutrients you can keep your canopy flat like this no matter what strain and even if you have more than one strain in there, which is the case for a lot of my pics actually. Thank you for the info on the phospholod, I will hit you up if they ever discontinue the product, but from my experience if it's working for you why mess with a good thing ya know? Depending on the strain I'm always averaging at least .5g/watt, usually between .5g-1g/watt. The 1g barrier is hard to break if you aren't in a warehouse setting, but can definitely be done. I've been taught by guys who consistently pull 1g/watt or more in warehouses. Think, three 1000's over a 4x8 tray.....20 trays.....there's no place like norcal; )

Too bad phosphoload is really bad for you. Its not legal to use on fruits and vegetables. Ornamentals only. Stop poisening yourself.

Top Booster, Bud XL and Shooting Powder should be used by more experienced gardeners in my opinion... and they can take time to dial in to each strain for the right doses... if not used correctly they will stress your plant as much as they help... I like Canna or HG's entire line for flowering, except for those stimulators because even a semi-experienced grower like myself can get it wrong with those nutes sometimes... but bloombastic serves as a really potent bloom stimulator and its easy to use and very forgiving... Myself and many i know have nixxed those other complicated stimulants and replaced with Bloombastic. We get even maturation and a great balance of quality to quantity. I start low doses in week 3 and work it up to heavy doses in weeks 5+. I have some pics below my 2000watts hydro over drip tables, these are in perpetual stages, sorry the pics are blurry, i will post more showing clearer closeups tomorrow, but those buds on the right are in week 5 and they are hard as rocks already, the other table is at day 8 of flowering, they look flawless...
You should try koolbloom. It's as good as or if not better than shooting powder. Another one is a product called "THC - Roid" it's way better than canna pk13&14. Here's a link:
