Hey friends,
So I've got my grow space set up and my 3 plants going and two of them are female seeds. When I first started, my intentions were to use a screen to train the canopy once the plants got 10-12" tall.
Taking a second look at my space, this may not be my best option for yields. The space is only about 46" wide and 20" deep, but it is almost 8 feet tall.
I plan on having the final 5 gallon pots about 6-10" off the floor and my LEDs will have to be at least 12-18" away. I wasn't planning on using any supplemental lighting on the walls and space is going to be limited with three plants. However, I will have 2 Mars Hydro 600 (278 true watt) that will be ample light for such a small space.
Would I get a better yield with LST and topping these girls by keeping them short and using a screen which would waste 3' of vertical space, or should I veg them longer, for bushier taller plants and ditch the screen?
I like the idea of being able to move plants around, but I also like the idea of a nice even canopy.
Just like every other grower, potency and yield are most important to me. Time is a concern, but a few extra weeks for bigger yields is worth it.![IMG_1611.JPG](/data/attachments/2962/2962213-720bfd5846d6bd6b9f875a0b012efded.jpg)
