So ive got a few strains that im working, almost all are indica strains. The plants will be flowering under a 600w HPS and 400W MH. Coco grow using fox farms. im flowering in 5g buckets. My three staple strains are mazar x white rhino, lemon kush, blue mystic. Their in a 4'x4'x7' grow tent.... I wanna maximize my yield, as i am now im barely getting 1.5oz, but with the first mazar i had she yielded about 4oz, but i vegged for a long time. At what height should i start flowering? 24"? thanks in advance,dg

The number of plants is less important as the finial yeild total.

are they already in the 5 gallon pots? if not start em in a small pot, grow em to bout 17 inches then remove all but the top leaves (top 2 nodes) and plant em in the 5 gallon with the naked stem buried, you should now have what looks like a young un in a 5 gallon pot, veg it to 20 ~ 24 inches then flip em total time invested is 9 to 10 weeks in veg

I got a lb off two plants I did this to, also if you make an alfalfa tea it will slow down the stretch fed during the 1st 3 weeks of flower and will cause explosive growth

Have you ever took a finished flowered crop at harvest and cut down to where you have a couple stems left and put them back under veg?

many times yes
What was your success? And I'd love to hear your procedure on doing it from beginning till when they start growing again. Cloning in deep flower as well if you got time to explain. For instance do you scrape any of the stem before you dip it or do you just slice dip and drop in? Thanks in advance.
Cheers

All the work is done during veg for me i top the plant around 6/7 times in a other house i have so when there ready to move to the flowering house they are has wide has they are tall,have a look at the post i just put up jack herer and blues up date,get a table on them its the only way to max the plants out un - less you have the height i only have 7 ft height they are around 5 1/2 ft tall now but two of them in the photo have filled the table out.Table size 7 ft x 5 ft..

I only take a bit of the bottoms took a carrier bag of the bottoms other day,but i all ways save the bottoms that i think will give me nice little nugs these go to a hash run. .
