Recently acquired a Skywalker OG clone - NOT the knock off but the original sativa looking one. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to get OG's to yield? It tends to want to grow very large internodes and not a lot of branching. I was thinking top them, veg the fairly tall?

Running many in a space. These arent ogs but not amazing yielders either. Theres 23 in a 4x4 there
Skywalker is supposed to be one of the better yielding ogs

Long nodes dosent mean tall plant nor does it mean bad yields. Repeating about its node length is not adding additional info its re hashing what i do t even consider to be a problem. You arent growing skunk number 1 ogs are known to have long nodes. Lol you wanted a clone only it is how it is. Of all its the sky the known to be most sativa dom og.
Anyway if you didnt like my sugestion of many plants then try scrog, or lst.
If those options dont work for you try a strain thats internodal distance dosent upset you.
What info are you looking for? If its to shorten the nodes and you are under t5 well not much more you can do

. It's not that I didn't like your suggestions at all, in fact I lowered our veg. T5. In my experience, longer nodes does tend to indicate a taller finished plant - and it's not a bad thing, just a different growing technique than my more indica oriented plants that barely stretch - obviously. That being said, I was looking at the one we have that is almost done and I think your idea of more per table is perhaps the best idea I haven't tried with leggy OGs in the past. We currently do 12 per 4x4, I think I might try 16 and see how that works. Unfortunately we run a perpetual flowering room, so I can't really SCROG them in place - I think that would really be the best way to grow it - just vine it through a really low screen. I will keep tinkering and get some photos as we go along. Thanks for all the input. I have been wanting some sativas so here we go!

OG plants tend to stretch alot, You could try this

Sorry i can be cut and dry. Anyway try worrying yourself less about strech and node distance and worry about just growing the neat clone you got. It wil be different than what you grow but rather than fight it trying to shortenthe nodes dont worry just grow.
Trust me its proven many smaller plants in a square is the way to go with og or any sativa doms. Im going to prove it this run compared to my last im going to fucking murder my last yoeld and i pulled about 450 grams out of a square meter with a 4x4

Well put! I do this shit all the time...get a new girl, doesn't behave like my constant varieties, decide to get rid of it. Realize it's super tasty and potent, feel guilty, keep noodling around with it, then one day go...HOLY SHIT! Hehehe

I wasnt always COCOSATIVAS in a past life flower time and geight meant something. Cant remember what though. Bode distance? Havent heard of it... oh yeah i see the buds are spaced but how far apart? Who cares... yield per plant and flower time who cares... lol just kidding but ya know what i mean... i changed to meet cannabis not hoped it would change for me
Along these lines, I have grown some various OG spin offs ....OG RASKAL's gear and a couple of clones. I have def. noticed some yellowing on them that I get on nothing else. I assumed it was Mag. but it always happens in bloom. Everything else in a tray will be great, the OG will look very deficient. Here is an example.

Using Cana Aqua A&B, but had the same issue with H&G. Keeping the ph locked in between 5.8-6.2, ppm around 800-900 in a recirculating drip. It has to be something with bloom as they look amazing in veg and about half way into bloom like above. I will figure this out I swear!

One thing i will adress the long node thing dosent mean they will be tall, ive had tons of stuff with long nodes but short plants.
Until your plant is 12 feet and foot long nodes i wouldnt worry

No you can grow them in a solo cup if you want and they will be pretty small. Well might be 6 feet but wouldnt branch much haha.
I grow in 1 gal pots of coco. All sorts of stuff.
Anyway why i being up the node thing, so i have my super lemon haze which is the same hieght as the chocolate cheese. The cheese hybrid grows like chese a shrub the slh like a lanky mini haze. Anyway the slh has nodes twice as long but they are the same height. Node distance is not a good indicator of final hieght or stretch just node distance... close nodes stack sure but that dosent mean the product is good... dosent mean anything really. Just a characteristic of the plant.
The ways i see good og yields are grower created conditions. So large bushes, hydroponics, large numbers of small plants (my new focus) or scrog or lst...
The sky may not branch great in your system so you will probably need to top it if you want bush or create a forest condition like mine.
Thats what i was doing last run big plants though controlled by 1 gal pots. If you want more branching and grow in substrate long veg and lots of root space is key. Though with coco smaller containers are better than big in my experience and 1 and 2 gal pots can grow big plants while still controlling their height
Heres the forest i was talking about. Packimg them into my 4x4 seems to be the real win. Maybe look into a dwc bucket or hempie bucket to run the mom, top early and take loads of clones, veg for a week or two and you are ready to rock.
Just my thought. Probably alot less labour intensive. Also you can get a 5 gal tote and fit 5 plants in one of those. Again short veg time and you will probably get a decent yield

I beg under t5a for about 60days with the light as close as possible without burning the plants after 60days I put the plants under 600 watt Hortilux blue for about 35 days and keep it as close as possible without burning the plants,you might have to go a little light on the nutes but it can be done as this is how I do my grow,you should have have pretty tight node spacing then flip them butches and they should b straight. Give it a try in see how it works for ya .
