whats up every one I am a noob with a dilemma here, I'm about to start growin 5 plants with 3 600w lights in a scrog with soil. I keep doubting my 3 gal grow pots for flowering... Should I just go ahead and toss 'em and get 5 gal grow bag or is 3 gallons enough? Any advise is greatly appreciated

how long are you veggin for is the important question here. There is no point having a massive pot if the roots are not filling it up, you just end up with your plant sitting in a pot of damp medium that is never properly used. Easiest way would be to check the routes on one of the plants. What stage you at with them?
One of our fellow members Integra21 grew a few plants in a scrog and used the 12/12 to cover the screen. What size is your area?

I've only just started germinating the seeds, I was supposed to get some clones but that fell through and i can't wait any longer. I have a 6x6 grow tent and my screen will be set up in the shape of a upside down U so I have room to work in it and I'm not sure how long i will be vegging cuz i only have bag seeds

ok, well get them bags seeds sexed and then move from there. I think decisions on numbers of gallons at this stage is not that important. You can get some great stuff from bag seed but then you can also get garbage and a lot of herms.
3 lights for that space is more than enough, you could probably run 2 and be fine. Once you have sex sorted, you are going to be looking at a reasonable vegging time.
Do you have 5 seeds? or a lot more and want to aim at getting 5 females?
Bag seed planted - grow out and sex - Clones from best plant - root clones then veg clones - Then you can start the flower. So this will take some time. If time is a factor you may be better shelling out and getting feminized seeds. Or trying the clone route again. The above process is going to be at least 2 months imo.

Duchie-I have been watching SOA from the beginning. I originally started watching to see how accurate the show was. I was pretty impressed and have been hooked ever since. I used to ride in a club until recently not a 1% club, but i had to deal with them on a regular basis though. I have grown up around bikes all my life.
To the new guys welcome. You have come to a great place. We have some really smart and generous people on this thread willing to help answer questions or point you in the right direction. I wouldn't be as far as I am now with out them.
1BMM-wow what a beautiful garden.
DST-thanks for the info. Question what is a pressing screen and could i use those instead of the bags for the Dry ice method? They are cheaper than the bags is why i am asking. I still will probably get the bags as I want to try the water/ice method too, if for nothing else for the experience. It was really cool watching my buddy do it.He he he .
Heads up-good luck to you. I hope it works out the way you are wanting.
I will post up some picks when my lights come on in a few hours. The Thai Tanic is at it again loosing the fan leaves. not sure what the problem is. The G-13 is doing really good. I have to say it is thebest strain i have right now as far as growing and looking perty.

Development on the perpetual is now officially over. These three tubs are three weeks apart in flower. In the middle, we have 12 white russians, now 42 days along. To the right 15 skunk and chronic. One the left it's mostly chronic and a couple of wr which just went into flower yesterday. My mothers have grown right up past the light lol. I have to clean out my clone box and then I'm going to chop the Chronics down and start over with them. I'm not happy about the yield from the NLxSK so I may not be keeping that in the mix. The white russian is such a keeper. Over an ounce per plant and man, it's just lethal. That's why the middle tub is pure WR

Thats a nice setup you have there, wish I had the room to run something like that.

It's been a while in development. I'm going to add one more tub in the flower room. I think I can fit it in there without even adding another light I have 2 600s and a 1000MH burning in flower and one 600 in veg. I have another light, but I'm reluctant to use it. then I can tighten up to harvesting every 2/3 weeks instead of every 3/4.
I should have another batch of clones in about 3 weeks.

Thanks guys. When I first started hanging out at RIU I'd read these perpetual grow threads like Stinkbud or Al b fuct and think 'man that's too much work'. Wrong. So I spent a few years doing serial grows, one after another, then learned to clone and things speeded up a little and I raised the stakes and went into hydro which really is key to this. What does the 600 think? Can I add another tub in the flower room without adding another light fixture? I'm burning 2200 watts there right now and if I but the tubs together I think I'll have room for another. Whaddaya say, guys? Speaking of which, why are there no 600 women??????

To be honest, if it was me I would have another 2 tubs in there. I know they are at different stages and they are going to get bigger, but that's the exact reason why....use the space more efficiently where the small plants are and I think you will def be fine for 1 more at least. I would also have that light a bit closer to the wee yins as well. It's always hard to tell in a pic, but the reason I said 2 more was because it looks like if you turned the lights round to face the other way the (as well as the tubs), you could get thos extra 2 in??
Anyway, looks like it's going to rock for ya anyway, but like you said, another tub, probably 1 less week inbettwen harvests.
As far as women and the 600 is concerned...who knows, I saw kiki posting a little while back, Westy's girl LGP was in for a while and there have been others...some left to go to speedyseedz (I giggle to myself quietly, but still let everyone know...is there an acronym for that?) So yeh, any suggestions on bringing some female harmony to the thread I am all ears...
peace, DST

yea if i had that setup,i would put the tubs side-by-side,add one more tub to make 4,me my self i like the hoods to be side-by-side to,not front to back...imo it gives better sweet spots...id say go with it..Thanks guys.

maybe a beefcake calendar "The Men of the Mighty 600". This thread is pretty harmonious without women. Most troll-free place on RIU.
The light over the little 'uns is high because they have hardly any roots and get a little floppy. Yesterday, I took 1/2 of them and put them back in the veg room under the shade of a mother because they got a little wilty. I gave them an extra hand-water too and they perked up again. By tomorrow they should be good enough in the root department for me to lower the light down.
I sort of want the tubs to remain in the same relationship. It's hella easy to access the rez's for cleaning and changes. I'll switch the 1000 into the giant hood I have so I get better light spread from it.

Ok 600 here is my update. Like i said the G-13 is doing really well. The Thai Tanic it just seems to be tops that the leaves are getting all messed up and dropping. I have 2 different plants going for the Crimea Blue. To say they are crusty is an understatment. I am just waiting for them to dry out from the last watering and down they will come. They are less than a foot tall.
Ok first off with the Crimea Blue: I didnt get much below but i think this is to do with my flower cab being over crowded. All I did was pop the seeds then as soon as I could took a clone. Once it rooted I stuck it in the flower cab.
these are the Crimea Blue: They have a bit of a faint lemony smell. That is more than the first plant i had going. They will be cut and hung in the next day or two when the soil drys out from the last watering.
Here are some pic of the Thai Tanic. Any help on what I seem to continue to do wrong will be greatly appreciated:
Here is a shot of the full Flower Cab. Everything in here is getting really crusty with trics. That is before I had to put the MH bulb in. Oh you can see the old HPS that blew on me in the leafe pic above.
Here are a few shots of my veg cab The moms and one father(green pot blocked by fan) are in the little pots. The 4 2 gallon buckets are in veg till the light cant go any futher up. The have about another foot to grow. The cups at the bottom are my new clones, well they just took root. On the other side of the fan (sorry forgot to take pic) are the clones that are have taken root and growing till they get the size of the plants in the buckets. By then the current buckets should be in veg cab.:
