Light ???

You also need to add about 3" more soil to that pot.

Light intensity should be adjusted according to a plant's light saturation point. A very important concept that is NEVER discussed in forums with the exception of me bringing it up now and then.

Like Riddle said, it's the sum of the parts.

What would that have done?

would the extra 3" of soil,have made the lower buds bigger?
Or would it have made more room,for the same size buds?
On the lowers.

None of the above.

The size of the lower buds is not related to light intensity. That is another forum myth. Read my thread Riddle linked you to.

Roots are a plant's foundation. Like I said, the more the effective root surface area the more potential yield or plant mass in general.

Ever planted a tall, leggy tomato plant (correctly)? Say it's 12" tall with long internodes. You dig a shallow trench, lay the entire trunk sans leaves in that trench, cover it up and within a day the plant will have straightened up and once established will grow like crazy.

Who said anything about light intensity?

So,the more soil/roots I have,the less light I need?

I have ran a few plants,under a few diff lights..and I know for sure light intensity is not a mythical thing at all.

Real simple, I'll explainwhat auntie B spouted without explaining in enough detail so others can follow. A 5 gallon pot fully rooted in 5 gallons of soil will produce more bud then. 5 gallon pot with 4.5 gallons of soil in it. The size and complexity of the rootball has more to do with yield then almost everything else. And everything else being good, amount of rooted soil is the easiest way to determin yield before harvest. With root trimming pots a 3 foot plant fully rooted will produce about the same as that same plant in the same pot but grown to 5 feet. Now the rootball limits your yield by not transplanting up. Auntie B is a grumpy ass that shoots first and explains never.... Or explains it in a 30 page attachment written by someone else. And when asked about something in there he gets mad and says you can't read, it's all in there...... Since she posts so many of the same articles and pic, he should make them better and in words others understand and just save them and post them instead of the long drawn out ones he she posts.

I already explained - "Roots are a plant's foundation. Like I said, the more the effective root surface area the more potential yield or plant mass in general." It's not my fault you're too stupid to get it.

This is the kind of bullshit and disrespect that initiates a "grumpy" response to shit heads like this troll. You come in here with a personal attack and then have the gall to come me grumpy. Open wide, it's time to take your medicine. ;)

" 5 gallon pot with 4.5 gallons of soil in it. The size and complexity of the rootball has more to do with yield then almost everything else. " True in part but without a healthy and robust mass of foliage which is the unit conducting photosynthesis which makes those roots in the first place, it'll never happen (bulking up the root mass).

Again, it's the sum of the parts which I tried to explain using the tomato example. Given the same conditions outdoors, that mater I planted deep should yield more than the mater that was planted 2" below ground.

Your explanation sucked, FWIW.

There you go again..agreeing with me with a but. I'm just repeating what others have said about you and you agreed. Glad I could rile you this morning. Happy Friday...
Flush.....
Also if you have a healthy vigorous root system, I assume you would have the green part the same. I've seen bad green stuf and pulled the soil stuff out to look at the white rooty things and when the green stuff is not so green , the white stuff is not so white and vigorous.
Can Auntie B agree and add a but please. I don't feel complete until I am told the right thing from auntie B....
