1 gal Pheno Hunt?

Greetings and salutations. What issues would a organic grower run into flowering in a 1 gal? High quality no til soil. I would feed a tea once a week, my own feed once a week (aloe, coconut, enzymes, aminos, microbes, etc) and then water once a week. I know this isn't the ideal way to do this but I wanted to try and I figure I would ask here before I got started. Thank you in advance. Peace and Light.

Totally do able, just flower them small and you’ll be fine.

Only issue is low yield
I run five clones a cycle in 1 gallon soil
only 3/4 zip each

Thank you very much. I appreciate your input. I did anticipate low yields. Just wanted to see who stood out in the quality department and would be worth running further.

Sounds like a shit ton of work to me when you could just get a bigger container and some mulch and not mess around. But hey each to their own!

This is literally what I woukd say to someone asking this lol. Old wood flooring and 2nd floor. I def plan to do that down the road(long story short. .dont own property yet) and agree it is going to be a shit ton of work(prolly unnecessary work). I have a couple 4x4 170 gals that I would LOVE to use instead. Ez Pz lol. But for now if I wanna run that many I figure this is my beat route. I appreciate your input.

I guess what is your goal? Imo anything running 1 gallon pots is going to be a pain. Just based on how much plant matter you want at the end vs soil or water weight. Do you want to run 20 1 gallon pots each holding their own water weight ans then okay getting 3/4 of an ounce (imo you have to be on you game to get that) per plant? You're watering everyday, all that nonsense. Where you could focus that energy in higher volume space same weight same spread... and grow one or two plants trained, much easier growing and trimming same space.

He’s pheno hunting so I think he’s looking for some characteristics.
My question is can you get enough expression in a one gallon to establish the best pheno?

If maintained sure!!

These autos are in 3L pots so just under a US gallon. 2 trained 1 natural. Grown organically photo was at like a month or so old. One trained stretched a lot more!

That’s all I run as of late .... 1 gallon bags . Autos and regs . Even 12/12 SOGs.

They are the perfect size to grow and breed in a manageable amount. Even when I do perpetuals.

Yes.

I use even smaller pots.

1.5 liter





You can do plenty with 1 gallon pots. I don't know the exact final weight of this but it was well over an ounce. Probably closer to two.

Thank you everyone chiming in. I'm def going to try it. I'm hoping to put a journal up as soon as I finish setting up. Have a dope day

Hey, good luck. I do that often when my flower room is full of keepers, I will put some fresh beans in 1 gallon, take cuttings, put fresh stock into flower with the others. First, I can weed out the males, now I let them run till finished. I'm only looking for potential keepers and keeping their clones so the yield matters only compared to the other seedlings I'm running. I do not think you can only water once weekly. Perhaps you could use Blumats or similar? Hope you achieve your goal ...
