Anyone notice how there cannot be any soil anywhere in the basket with respect to the light penetrating the cloth?
OP is a genius.
When growing eight plants in a Yogi and Boo Boo bear picnic basket you really don't need much soil. It's a magical picnic basket that will make up for all the deficiencies in his setup.
The cloth is evidently his way of giving his plants hours of darkness, sort of like when you want a parakeet to shut up and sleep you put a towel or cloth or sheet or something over it's cage.
What the guy clearly has not figured out is even IF he gets lucky and his plants survive and even though their growth will be stunted all jammed together in such a small space with so little room for roots and even IF he trains them in multiple ways they will still end up large enough that they will fit in his picnic basket like five pounds of baloney in a two pound skin. He talks about LSTing but he doesn't seem to realize that means wide, that it means more room to the sides will be needed. He talks about topping but he doesn't seem to realize that means wider plants bushier plants.
I have a 25-gallon pot on my deck that I used 1/4 inch plastic sheets cut to fit together to section it into four different root compartments, caulked in so roots cannot grow from one compartment to another, making it basically four 6.25 gallon pots all in one. I have only used it a small handful of times and I did not top or use any other method of training that would cause the plants to need more side room, and I ended up with what looked like a single uber-thick single bush or like a thick Christmas tree with four tops, all grow together .. and I mean grow well into each other.
That was half the number of plants in like five or eight times the surface space and about thirty times the amount of root space, if not more, and separating them at harvest time was a BITCH! I had to cut branches because yanking them from between the other plants would have ripped off buds and knocked off trichomes like mad. The top of the soil would have ended up looking like it had snowed by time I was finished if I had tried to yank them apart. If it wasn't an outdoor grow in an area that receives almost full sun from sunup until roughly 6:00 PM I doubt I could have put enough light on them without purchasing a couple 1000-watt lights for them to turn out anywhere near what they did.
And he has twice as many plants in a tiny picnic basket under light from a few CFLs in a chandelier and seems to believe he will end up with what could be considered to be a success just because one or two of his tiny seedlings looks, in his opinion, sexy at the moment.
With this site being invaded by people like this guy all I can say is:
[SIZE=+0]We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Cause gang, there's a better place for me and you[/SIZE]
At least I feel highly confident there is one, or more, other places that would be better for me.
So I was just messing with you!!
