I'm curious about how others are using their 3x3 tents -- how many plants, what sized pots, training techniques, how long they veg, and what their results are? Mostly I'm wondering about optimizing the space and canopy for yield. I understand that genetics play the largest role in output, but that aside...
After a lot of experimenting, have you settled into a routine that you repeat?
I started growing year round indoor, then went to two winter indoor grows and a summer outdoor, now I'm just doing one indoor grow per year. That means that it really needs to count, I need to produce enough in one grow to last a whole year. My grows have become about simplicity, so I'm using FFOF soil or something similar, primarily time release dry nutes like Rainbow Pro or Happy Frog, and DIY COB lights (dialed in at between 35 and 50w/sf depending on circumstances).
I've done a half dozen grows in my 3x3, ranging from just one plant to 9 in 2 gallon pots. Here are two examples:
I grew one GG4 from a clone in a SIP (5 gallon fabric pot over 10 gallon res), veg'd for 7 weeks, had some issues with this grow and ended out with 6.8oz.
This is my current grow. I started with 7 from regular seeds, ended out with 4 girls in 5 gallon pots. I was really busy with other stuff during this grow and didn't trim enough, so I ended out harvesting the tops and defoliating and now I'm letting the bottoms cook a little longer. Currently the tops are hanging to dry and the bottoms are still under the lights, so I'm a couple of weeks from a final weight on this one.
Sorry for the blurry pics, my phone is dying.
What's your favorite set up in a 3x3?
