I am running an experiment this run - its not with scientific accuracy or methods, but an experiment none-the-less - I have 5 girls in the big tent and 3 gals in the small tent - The nutrients are the same, the wattage per plant is about the same (240 in big tent 245 in small tent) the spectrums are similar but not the same, same age, same BudBusterPro treatments) - there are some Major differences - big tent is autopots so bottom feeding vs the small tent is top fed, I can top dress the small tent gals not the big tent, In the media I mixed all soiless (coco/promix/EWC/amendments) in the big tent and in the small tent I added soil with less coco/promix (I do this in my outdoor plants but never indoors), The Big tent has the UV no UV in the small tent, In the small tent I can add humic and fulvic acids and seaweed extract and other kelp products to my hearts content but in the big tent using a reservoir and small tubing I have to use them very sparingly or it will clog the system and zero defoliation on any plants.
Here is the small tent
here is a representative bud site from the small tent
here is a representative bud site from the big tent
Its very hard to tell in the photos but the small tent’s buds are further developed and the node spacing is tighter as well as fuller with budsites - I interpret this as they are further along in flower than the big tent I cannot be sure that any of the differences are because of genetics or the changes in the environment - every plant is a different breeder and strain.
I will be very interested as this experiment progresses and will be sure to update my findings. I will be very interested in whether or not the soil makes a difference in taste
keep testing. We talked about this but everyone else here didn’t.
