Sorry if I missed this, but what size pots are they in?
3 gal pots. My hydro shop has these great blow molded pots for real cheap. They are made from recycled plastic, they are pretty flimsy compared to regular pots but they are a much stronger alternative to grow bags. And at like $0.50c CDN each I just throw them away and buy new ones.

Much easier then cleaning and bleaching 40 pots after a grow. :lol:

So why did you hack your plants down to twigs? You completely stressed them and took away all the energy producing buds then you throw them right into flower and expect to get decent yields. Not to be offensive man but if you wouldnt have done that You could have twice the bud and easily get a couple pounds.

If you think what you did is beneficial id like to hear your ideas on it.

They are not bags, they are sturdier, they are like flimsy cheap disposable black plastic pots.

I dont have a website sorry, theres just a huge stack by the door at my local hydro shop with all the other pots. :lol:

On the bottom of one of them it says

Nursery Supplies Inc.
Classic 1200
Chambersburg, PA
McMinnville, OR.
Orange, CA.


Im assuming the cites are factory locations. Just check out local nurserys and hydro shops where they sell black pots.

....hahahaha, I didnt hack them to twigs??? I have never removed any fan leafs on any shoots that I am growing.

The pics look shitty sometimes because I have a broken cell phone camera and thats my only cam.

Dude, tell me one thing that looks wrong with them, they are growing fine, and are going to yield as much or more then I expected.....They were lollipopped a couple weeks before flowering, and tied down in flower to increase bud sites. They are mostly sativa, so when you tie the tops over you get multiple tops without topping or FIMing.

If you read the thread, my plants where also in full flower in about 5-10 days....No stress at all, No bud blood or fancy nutes.

I dunno man maybe im just stned and drunk hahaha but they dont seem to be producing much for 30 something days into flower. It looked like yo ustripped a lot of nodes and potential bud sites off the plants. When I lollipop I only take like the bottom 30% off, It seems like you left only about 30% of the top...kind of the opposite. IT just seems like you hurt your yields by stripping so much is all im saying.


Dont get me wrong man I hope you get an awesome yield of some nice sticky goodness.

Im only shooting for 2 ounces per plant. If I left any lower nodes they woulnt be getting any light. It would be way to crowded. I only wanted 2-4 shoots per plant when I started flowering.

It doesnt matter how many shoots you got....what matters is how efficiently the plant is using the light its getting. If I was doing 8 plants under 2000w then I would grow big bushes, but Im not, I got 32 in there.

I was able to do 20 full plants under a single 600w. I got about a pound of dense bud. I think your underestimating the power of your 1000 watters a little bit, the light can definitely penetrate a foot or two of buds and foilage. I know it does with my grows and like I said the bud grows about the full length of the plant which is about 2 - 2 1/2 ft tall and its solid all the way up. So id say the plants used the lights very efficiently.

Maybe its the pictures but right now its looking like you will only get an ounce per plant if that. How tall are they total?

They are about 4 feet now. They are all sativa dominant. They are Just going into the next stage of growth. Jan 17 is only day 37 of flowering. They will be 10-11 weeks to flower. They are just passing half way.

I need a good cam so I can get some good, up to date pics. I am starting overdrive next feeding too.

Yeah, the next 2-3 weeks will determine what my final yields will be like. They are going into the next stage of growth, they are already really dense buds, now they are starting to bulk up. They are sativa dominant, but they are coming along faster then I was expecting so Im excited to see how the next couple weeks will go. This is also a test run for the strain, so there will be a few things I will do different next run.
