I wish he was more specific about everything. The point he made that VPD is just pushing the plant to transpire but not necessarily to grow was interesting and in support for a more mild VPD around 1.2. Most valuable info was on light and temp and this is where I will focus my research and...

Thank you for the info and your time! I will watch the video and comment in a separate reply. Here are some comments based on your post. LIGHT I use an expensive apogee extended range PAR meter $600+ and I have two of them, also I can easily see the ration between watts and PPFD, so faulty...

I understand that bigger pots is generally better, but in my case I am looking for a balance between profitability and labor.

This must be the smallest possible pot size for any type of grow. This would only work for me if I bottom water, by flooding the whole table. Which comes with its own disadvantages. I am curious how much more efficient in terms of dry mass would this method be compared with say 3 times bigger...

Ok, I guess when saying SOG I am referring to the more general concept of "many and smaller plants with no topping". I will take it that what you describe is the most effective SOG method. It is good to know tough. Basically, changing the pot size will be the least path I am willing to take...

https://plagron.com/en/hobby/products/lightmix It is mostly peat and some perlite. I have consulted with the company in the past and they claim the soil works good with their Alga - organic series. That's algae based btw.

Please, explain how is SOG different than what I do. 1. Running fewer plants in bigger pots - as the veg time is fixed, I doubt that those plants will be able to use all the excess media. I feel that my pots are a bit large for the plants I run even now. 2. More plants in smaller pots - this...

Fellow growers, I will throw a lot of info and questions, so bare with me :) Those of you who have experience with SOG (maximizing yield) will be more helpful, however I'm open to comments from everyone. HERE WE GO: I've been growing for some years now, adjusting my method (SOG) along...
