36x20x62 Tent (Hydroponics Tent 36x20x62 Home Hydro Cabinet Grow Box - eBay (item 220284516968 end time Oct-21-08 14:32:53 PDT)) <<<<thats it
CFLs:
105w (full spectrum)
55W (warm white) - flowering
43w (Warm white) - (flowering)
Those are my big watts
Got about 12-15 smaller watts & Color ratings....Etc. Know all about colors and whats needed for veg, flower etc. But what i REALLY want to know is, If my aim is going to be MAX YIELD, should i lollypop (dont know how to do it tho...lol) Lst?
Or just let the girls get nice & tall?

Where's my CFL vets that can get me on the right track, and get my game plan cememted?!?!

Lollipoping is definitely not the way to go for max yield, wtf. That would probably give you the smallest yield.

But anyway, if you are growing sativa get it to 2-2.5 feet before flowering, and if its indica I'd say 3 feet. Don't let them stretch, that's a tall tent!

Post some more info. What kind of soil? Hydro? Aero?

If you're gonna grow big and tall, how many plants are you going to have in the tent? My grow box is 30x22x48 and I can only fit 3 in it. I had 4 going, but ran out of room. If it were me, I'd probably only try and fit 2 in there (hopefully you have feminized seeds or they both turn out to be female).

Here's a pic of mine from today. They are all touching the sides, back, eachother, and the front doors (doors were removed for the pic). I'm on the 16th day of fowering, following 15 days of vegging.

Yeah, it would suck if you started all 4 in there and then had no place for 2 of them when you ran out of room. I've been putting the one I didn't have room for outside during available sunlight hours. Then I put her to bed in a dark room. So far, it's kicking some butt.

Can't wait to see that whole tent of yours set up with everything in it.

They're from seed. I had them on 24/0 from the time they popped through the soil. After 15 days, Sept 8th, I switched the timer to 12/12 and that's where I'm at. From the bottom of the pots, they're about 22" tall right now, so about 14" or so from the top of the soil (the one I had to put outside during the day is 2" taller, and it's only been going outside since Saturday).
