My apologies if this has been asked/answered already, but will this technique work with any medium ?
It would appear that the crucial point is the training aspect, would this be a correct assumption ?
I would definitely like to give this a go...point that hit home was:
If it were leaves we were interested in, we'd be golden
TIA
Uh Oh, another controversial subject. I'll get into mediums in another thread another day.
Very interested to hear your thoughts on this subject. I'll be waiting.Uh Oh, another controversial subject. I'll get into mediums in another thread another day.
Medium is not a factor. Go with what you like. Training is an important part of tight growroom management. These girls will go every which way when left on their own. That's not necessarily good for a tidy and maximally productive unit. SOG handles this well by creating as small and as productive individual. My SCROG manages things by defoliating and intensive branch training. The training keeps thing from going too vertical. Tall plants indoors as well as overly leafy plants will diminish yield dramatically.
Good planning will take into account the size of a grow space and dividing that by the amount of plants to be grown. (unless you have previous experience, your thoughts on how many to grow may not be the best formula) That will give you an available square footage per plant. Mine are on a 32" centering.These branchy hi-yielding shrubs need that at a minimum.
If you are deciding on mediums try going without. Highly aerated water makes an effective medium at no cost. Medium is not at all necessary for support as many would think. Support can be provided in much more cost effective ways than relying on a base medium. String and frame is cheap and never needs changing or carrying in or out of a basement. Mediums are highly overrated for any function. There main function is cost to you, profit for suppliers, and excess work.
