is totally right. You can easily/cheaply add more CFLs or LEDs for lighting... and you'll see great improvements in grow for every what you put in and make that big pot work for you... next time, just go as big as you need... I think about 1/2-1/3 the size the plant you want might be a good ... yeah, bigger gives you a greater margin for error, but 25 is def overkill... You could be doing more plants in there... or make your space smaller and more efficient...
Some people will (strongly) disagree, unless you mean in terms of topping... but I've heard a lot of different takes... do whatever's gonna fit your plan/environment best... I like to try different things and see what may work best for different situations.
Where'd you get that?
It was a thread on this site, where a guy asked if a 15 gallon was too big. I pulled what i could from the responses and research and my own shortcomings/errors that may occur. I check on ny plants every day. But occasionally i do go away for days at a time and didn't want to have to worry about watering
Yeah that's the size I use for my lemon and mandarine... I'd LOVE to get a cann plant in there... but with indoor only, I couldn't mange that beast in my space...
...go check out the organics thread... they're all up with the latest things and are damned helpful... this whole site is... well... not so much the politics threads, that's just a bubbling pot of rage waiting to explode, and often boiling over... but everything else....
I have a hard time taking any of that seriously -- I've been using the SAME smart pots for 5 years. They are as good as the day I bought them. The funny thing is, I've been on the other side of this argument when someone was asking why I used such big pots, lol. I can't imagine my plants running out of water quickly in a 15g pot. The 3g do need to be watered every other day whereas I could probably go 4 or 5 on the 5g. It is nice to have the extra buffer when it comes to watering.
A lot of people start out in tiny cups, and even go to maturity in them beore trans planting to bigger things... esp when using non fem seeds, since they may get unwanted males... there's lots you can do to grow healthy small... and when transplanted, it takes little to no time to get that sucker shooting up nice... I got a plant similar to that as a gift, 2 in fact... both were lanky and taller than I would've liked... certainly looked puny next to the ones i set in 3gal from sprouts... but they both put on a lot of weight once I got them in their own bigger pots... the trunks not as thick, but thick enough, and the gangliness gave me a little more space in the plant for the light and air, so it worked out pretty well
THough in the end I had unrelated issues and they had to go early RIP little ones, and may angels guard you
SOOOO true....
oh I just said what you were thinking anyway you pervWay TMI at the end about an Unidentified Flying Azz.
