1200w AF Sea-O-Green. Pull up a seat!

[Waterlab420]

So as my autos approach day 35 in there journey I have come to conclusion I need to start planning my next grow!

Here's what I have in mind:


1200 watts of LED lights (3) 400w units.

Not gonna run multi strain as I don't wanna deal with canopy issues. Will have greater chance of even canopy.

I plan on packing them in there. 30 plants, 1.5 gallon pots. i could fit 40 in my space but figured is leave some room haha.

Now! Before everyone goes all use clippings, save the money and go with a mother plant, that's not a true sog. Don't wanna hear it lol. I am looking for advice, comments, tips, on how I could make this run smoothly. Anyone have any experience with this? Problems I might run into?

No worries! This will be intersting!!

Pack them as tight as you can, nice to have the option to toss runts and underperformers. Never used LEDs but two or three small prunes keep it in its "shape". I always get better yield/quality cutting tops first and allowing bottoms to ripen 10-15 more days. What strain are you planning to use?

Maybe I'll cram them in there lol.

You cut the tops on auto flowers? Thought that was a no no haha.

And not sure what strain in gonna run something short and bushy! As there not gonna be able to get big any way being in the smaller pots

 

[stickydank]

no cutting just pinch and bend top lower than side branches is all i do

Wouldn't it make more sense to lollipop them if I'm going to jam that many autos in there? So the top cola produces more.

Or am I way off? Lol

 

[stickydank]

yes do a SOG lollipop main colas are imo always bigger than topped colas or side branches
but i like to be as low stress as possible with minimal chopping bottom shit always gets chopped on mine but i run bushy well trained grows that are fast
packed grows are a pain in the ass to water for me
peace stickydank

Lol I know it's not really a SOG. Not traditionally any way. Didn't wanna call it forest of green lol.

As far as lollipoping autos. When do I start? And when do I stop lol. I know there on a time clock and want the least amount of stress as possible.

I'd cut the bottom branches off before the time they flower or if the plants branches interferes with the surrounding plants light. i'd only trim what grows into other plants and not after flowering starts
hope it helps ya
peace my friend stickydank
