Hows the noise on the 70?...I only ask because I'm in an apt and all the online reviews say these pumps are extremely loud and hot

Hello nugs im a nube with 8k 8 inch magnums thinking about doing kens gdp with 30 day veg in 3 gallon and transplanting to 7 gallon pots im using coco how many plants under each light would you reccomend for maximum yield. also all hoods are air cooled and humidity is under control. i want to say its people like you that enhance everyones lives it will comeback 20 times fold. i also noticed you seem to go against the notion of not trimming leaves how can i determine what is the correct amount of leaf so the plant can soak up the light?

I am currently running Ken's GDP, 2 plants / 1000W, each is in a 10 gallon SmartPot and they are very happy. I would recommend 2 plants / light even with your 7 gallons. Should be perfect.

I strip out the entire bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the plant at 2 weeks flower. This allows them to redirect their energy into productive colas. I don't thin my GDP beyond that until leaves fall off.

thanks hovering whats your veg time,u in coco or soil?

soil [mix4+perlite] for 2 months. will try a switch from perlite to coco soon, all changes are progressive in our garden and take time so I don't fuck shit up.

still working on getting my rootball maximized, that is my current geek... better rootball for better plants.

i would have to agree i have mine running in a seperate building but its loud in the building. might be a problem for an apt. im sure you could muffle the sound. but 45 lpm is probably ok. i use my 70 when i brew 5 gal batches

Not directed towards me but I hope y'all don't mind if I chime in. Personally for 7 gallon I like (4) in a 4 x 4 space, well trained, short in stature for max penetration. Although I really should have 1000 watters, it does very well with 600's. Like Hovering, I strip the shit out of the bottom of the plant and try to remove any budsites that won't contribute to anything but hash. A friend of mine once told me , lollipop until you feel like you've done way too much and then go back and do some more. I like to do it all the way through veg and through the first cpl weeks of flower. You're not going to hurt the plant, it keeps rolling. After over a year of lollipopping undergrowth I'm finally learning how aggressive I have to be. Or rather, I'm finally willing to spend the time necessary to train and lollipop the plants, which takes time!
