??? Im not using 2x600. I have one 600. If I was gonna go bigger I would go 1-1000. Not 2x600.

I veged for 10 days this time, which was a mistake. No veg is the way to go. Straight clone to flower.

You should never go straight to flower. Veg for at least a week. It'll give your plants a chance to grow up a little and establish a healthy root system. What you need is more vertical space. You don't want your plants to be so close to your lights

i develop healthy root systems in my clones before they go into the tent. they will be fine going right into flower as al. b fuct has been doing for years. yes your right more vertical space would be great, unfortunatly it is not possible at this time.

Anyone unfamiliar with al. b fuct. I highly recommend reading this thread https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html

That root mass is still really tiny though. Secondly, you're not going to have a lot of nodes to flower from. I've done a 16 plant per light SOG before in an ebb and flow w/hydroton system and it doesn't yield nearly as much as when you flower for a week or more. Throwing your plants straight into flower isn't going to get you a pound per light and if you're not getting at least a pound per light then you're doing something wrong.

after seeing how thick the stalks are after 10 days i agree with shorting up the veg cycle. maybe down to 3-5 days than compare the yields? if the yield is still the same i say why not attempt the 0 day. the nutrients your using seem like steroids for these plants.

in the harvest every 2 week thread jdro is taking about. he focuses on growing the main colas and trimming back the undergrowth.
when you say a lb/light are you referring to a 1k hps? because he does only have a 600.
