Dialing in container size and frequency of irritation/dry back to that specific strain can vary SO much. Its humbling, especially when considering bizzare results on the first run on a new strain.
Never know what to expect I popped a six pack of Tropicana cookies and got two plants that look nothing like the other four not sure what happened. The leafs look like maple leafs and it's super busy and leafy reminds me of hash plant or something nothing like the others
@@dannyarmata8878 Definitely. Worst is realizing the massive difference in potential a year or two later. There's always something that can be learned, I still sign into glass forums as "NewbieforLife" 20+ years later. 🙃✌️
Lol that’s what I put my clones in. Sullivans rotisserie empty chicken containers. I can fit 6 clones in til they root in 5-7 days. They hold the moisture well. Great show guys!
I've been using 4-7 gallon pots...4 per 4x4 tent You put a raised garden bed inside your house. That's cool. Then a tent around the raised garden bed? Water like once a month............................. A greenhouse might be the only thing better..... I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE
@@mikepadia4244 I have a 15 x 10 room with the bed in the middle. Lights hang from the ceiling. The basement is unfinished, I threw up 2x4s and white tarp for walls. Been using it that way for 2.5 years now.
Ive always used 5 gal for autoflower and yeilded 2-3 zips per plant but recenly switched to 3gal to try fitting more plants....SUCH A BAD IDEA!!! never go less then 5 gallon
I have to add one thing that I've noticed and one reason why I breed my own seeds instead of buying from what they call reputable breeders. What I've noticed over the course of 2 years is some of these big breeders for seeds are creating smaller autoflowers to where you need to buy more seeds to get the QP weight if you know what I mean. It's quite ridiculous. One reason why I went into breeding and haven't stopped. I've created some really good varieties.
Mendo Dope Style 100 gallon pots on pallets with cattle cages around pots... with knf, growdots, recharge, cover crops (alfalfa for veg) and marigolds etc... ❤❤❤
I use 2-3 gals for autos, I’ve even been liking the results I’ve gotten from 1 gals with autos, just a lot of watering, made a self watering base for 1 gals similar to the ac infinity one and it’s been working great
No problem with most of what is said here except for the part about chlorine in tap water not being that bad. 2 days recovery for the microbes is not worth avoiding gassing off the chlorine with a secondary water reservoir imho. While it's not the end of the world it's still detrimental. Especially if you're doing a living soil set up with minimal fertilization.
Running cuts of Slightly Stoopid Collie Man Kush, Vanilla Frosting, and Apple Blossom outdoors with 20 gallon pots- using Roots Organic 707, worm castings, calcium phosphate because I use RO water,Recharge,and the extended release Grow Dots. They were a couple plants I grew next to the Crescendo in the other 4x4. Mentioned on the show the wife laughed because you were taking about my grow. Rad
For pro-sumer coffee aficionados, RO water is preferred because it stops scale building in the coffee machine boilers. You can add a tiny amount of calcium bicarbonate after to improve water flavour in the coffee.
Hey guys love the show . My first year doing auto's and Im trying to figure out what size container best suites this cultivar . Thanks for always kicking knowledge , and sharing the fun . God bless , and peace to the whole crew !
Ebb and flow or dutch bucket is my favorite system you dont have to worry about runoff oroverwatering. 100% automated and i breed beneficial bacteria and add media amendments giving me the best of both hydro and soil worlds. The medium is recycled.The only downside that i can think of is that it requires a bigger size res to start with but the fertilizer is recycled for 2 weeks or more do it is water efficient. I use the remaining ferts on my garden and it flourishes because of that.
This is the type of thing i was doing with phasing the light intensity of a 450 watt flu spectrum in a 4x4. I would start the day at 20% power and work my way up after a few hour to a max of 80% and then phase it down 10% every 45 Min until lights out. I made a 30+ top win line style with string tying the branches down in a 40 gall pot that gave me over half pound. But it was a 3 month veg tho!!! 6:07
I like 15% to 20% runoff to test ec daily..to me keeps the build up out and roots are triggered by watering timing and root osmosis... dry out 30% from last water. 600 ppm in always
When I water I bottom feed, i use 5 gallon pots with plant trays, 1.5-2 litres per plant, half goes into the soil and almost half goes into the tray and gets wicked up. I feed every other day
It's really hard to "handle" huge amounts of soil because it can be very hard to get the right dry-wet cycle that pushes the plant as strong as possible, if the plant fights against wettness, it can almost completely shut down growth until it's roots are healthy again.
I wouldn't say crop steering as it really just looks like old school sea of green and the water to runoff to prevent salt buildup been a thing for years.. great show folks much love
I do this 25 plants in a 1,2x1,2m tray but I use bags instead of pots and wet and sag I use mega crop and do 2 waterings with 1 without never ever had any issues
They should make cannabis pay for social security... At least for a short time because they could really create a good benefit social security program with cannabis sales... I mean we're paying for your grandpa to retire right now. But the key is not making it federally legal. This should be regulated like vitamins.
Sometimes gophers make it an option to use pots, im about to sink a bunch of pots into the earth to keep the temps down and put a few in ground with gopher cages
@@thomassiegfried5409 lucky for my plants as I'm an Aussie we don't really have any threats like that. Last seasons 5lb Durban Poison was a tree and a half 🍻
Great show guys, recharge and grow dots are working fantastic. Question - have you ever ordered seeds and never get them and No reply from breeder ? Dutch passion 😠
WORLD WIDE!! FREE THE WEED!!!! HIGH GUY,S DURING SMOKE BREAK IM SMOKIN SOME HAND PRESSED ROSIN FROM MY UPSIDE DOWN CAKE!!! KIKASS SATIVA ROSIN VERY POTENT! PEACE....
Yea they keep fuckn with me I asked grambo on his show if the text I was getting on my comments on these shows was really the dgc he said it was a scam . 👍 may the fleas of a million rats find the scammers taint.
Its all relative to size of the plant mostly tbh, think its roughly 1 gal per foot most go on give or take. However you dont need as much as you might think, I have seen some "decent" yeilds out of solo cups, its just alot more work and watering. Sometimes using a bigger pot than needed might not get you a bigger plant/yeild, but it will allow you to need to water less as all the extra medium holds more water. Only time I would ever give a plant anything over 3/4 gal pot would usually be for something outside thats going to be growing all the way outside and get massive.
It is a bit funny. As if there was one pot size that fits ALL situations. But if a clickbait title makes people watch the show and educate themselves -> perfect!
Runoff is necessary for removing build up of any single nutrient. The plant uses each macro/micro at different rates so P, NA, and K can easily build up if you're not getting runoff. When you reach runoff the soil solution is equal to what you put in rather than what you put in plus what's leftover.
