Just going to train the mainline than let the secondary's grow vertical that way they all receive equal light. There is another training wire 1.5 feet above the first that will be there to manage the light to each branch. This was my method instead super cropping and is a type of low stress training to keep every branch low and full...

They are genetically low bushy plants so just the tops may reach the next wire, or maybe not on this particular strain.

I dont have a journal going bc i didn't have the time and journals are sometimes bad luck for me lol maybe i will start a thread the buds are really photogenic, the pistils yellow on the inside until they amber for harvest.

It was in a 3 gallon pot outside. I have a 4 x 4 tent that I grow in and these are just to see what happens. :) This year they are 7 and 10 gallon pots and happy frog soil.

I like indoors a lot better but the sun is free. Tough call. :D And I learn with every planter pot grow on the deck. I get terrible sunlight on my deck because of trees but this year they are doing pretty good in veg.

I have a pair of 30 gallon pots I might pot up to. I need 4 more bags of happy frog!
Deck grows are the best, if you have never tried dripping you may want to consider it :smile:

Hi

I have 2 white rhinos. Topped at 5th node about 3 inches high vegging in a grow box. They are in 1 gallon pots going in 7 gallon pots on the deck.


Do you top your outdoors?

Last year I made 8 buds from a kush plant and got 3 oz from it. The year before I let it grow and it was 1 oz. I think 16 to 32 is perfect but we have a 3 month veg here.

Maybe 100 is perfect.

What do you do?
You can grow in 5-7 gallon buckets. People forget, not everyone lives in Cali running 100 gal pots.

I've done 6ft plans in 5 gallons some years. Key is top early, then again off the split. Cage em and bend em up.

I do just fine , I do my homework on my locations and I only use locations with Rich native soil because not only am I in remission from cancer and don't have the energy I used to & throughout all my injuries over the years I ain't luggin tons of dirt I'd rather bring in some blocks of Coco and some water storing crystals and some amendments and my plants do just fantastic locally
That's how you do it brother. Whatever works for you. I hear you on lugging that dirt. Least fun part for me and harder as you get older.

And if you are as impatient as i am with soil you can add some b vitamins to speed up recovery and overall growth. This stuff works well image.jpg

You don't have to live in cali to have big pots. I'm in northern wi and have 400 gallon pots.
Pot size matters when it comes to yield. Happy roots=bigger fruits. I personally wouldn't do anything smaller then a 25 gallon pot outdoors. However I'm shooting for over 5 pounds a plant this yr.
