I so wish I coule throw my bucket in the sun hahaha
Yea i have short ass summers here .

But im trying to make some auto seeds for summer :)

Im thinking about burying a trashcan in the yard and making a big ass dwc .

Then just let her grow for 4 weeks then build a light depo box till fall . We'll see :)

Have it veg for 3 months indoor and drop the bucket 2ft in the ground outside for the long part of summer through fall for flower?

Would that even work?

Sure
Thats kinda what i meant put a already decent sized plant out side and let the sun boost her for 4 weeks then start budding it before the cold comes

You would prolly have a monster. I would have to drop the clay pebbles for something like that and use rockwool only chopped into 1 in cubes like I seen somewhere

In my experience if i let stuff grow 3 feet down its tiny

. But you probably got a few years on me :)
Maybe I am not too sure of monster cropping? I have also super cropped mine I.e. split all my terminal shoots on each branch every other node since she was 4 weeks old ish. I only stopped that 1 week ago as it was my 3rd week flower
I seen a guy grow one 4 lb plant this way.
The main reason to do this is if you very limited to plant count, or wanted to have fun.

I only have one plant now in a 2' x 4' space. I could do 4 smaller ones and will prolly run 3 or 4 next run but they will be much smaller plants and I will not be topping more than 2 times each. I am just going to snap tips til they get where I want before flip. Still 3 months to plan all that though lol

You want containment focus and intensification of light , slow steady movement of air.
A given area is only going to allow so many terminal stems, the plants are topped in veg to several terminal stems, never let them become root bound, you take out side Branch's and force the bud to develop near the terminal stem,
Because it is near the terimunal stem it will develop much larger and fatter then it will at the end of the branch you cut off.
Without the branch sticking off the terminal stem it allows light and air penetration deep into the plant,

So to grow them 3 ft tall i would just have to seriously thin them out?

Do you think i have time ?

Like i said i give fuck all about the plants on the right in fact i want to hurt them been looking at them for too long lol

Haha I in fact want to hurt them

This is me sometimes during veg. I found that when I did "hurt" them it resulted in explosive growth.

My plant is like that chick on 50 shades. She likes the wips and chains.

Train them to about 15 colas in that space, or 4 terminals each

Ok so thin them out then trim the side sboots off the main colas after the first node?

I will try this on a few plants :)

My net is 3 by 6 how many colas for that

You let the plants veg like normal, they will normally need to be around a foot tall is all to finish at 3 ft tall or so,
Depends on the strain,
Put them under the lamps cut all the tops level and even with one another when you first put them in to bloom, strip all side Branch's off by cutting them one inch off of the terminal stem and then pinch the top of the terminal stem,
