Miniature grow ideas? Let's have some fun!

Greedy-Green · Jan 13, 2016

Lets have some fun, looking for some crazy ideas for a miniature grow? I mean tiny pots like using medicine bottles or a small sandwich tub as a dwc bucket?
Any ideas, or has anyone else done anything simular?
Also training ideas ? Single colar? Mini bush?
Thanks guys

The smallest pot I've grown in was a 2 gal. Anything smaller, you'd have to DWC I would assume, just to keep it fed.

So what's the smallest dwc pot you can think of?

Connoisseurus Rex · Jan 13, 2016

Even then, you have root mass to deal with. A 2 week old plant would smother in a pill bottle lol. Maybe a 2L soda bottle.

Greedy-Green · Jan 13, 2016

Naa that's two big for me I see what your saying about the root mass tho,
I'm trying to achieve a plant no bigger then say 7 inches tall, so you think it's going have to be done through a very short or practically no veg? Or training? Or just not at all

Connoisseurus Rex · Jan 13, 2016

7" tall in veg maybe. You'd have to run small clones to do that in my opinion. Almost no veg time after it roots. Right to flower. Then it'll stretch out a bit but still be relatively small.

I have 4 plants in a 4 gallon DWC, the res is wide. its a 6 site DWC but that would be way to little of space for SCROG

Yeah thinking about it 7 inch would be a bit of a long shot, I'm going to think this through properly and give it's go at first I posted as a bit of a home was looking for some imaginative ideas

And

I grew these to 12 inch then flipped,it took only 2 and a half weeks.

Ahh I'll have to check that out Thankyou, think I'll be using solo cups to and try training them to get them as small as possible aswell a very short veg, not sure yet it's stilll planning stage

First DWC grow i ever did i bought three Think different, they all popped, and were all roughly the same size a week on when they were ready for their final homes. I couldn't bring myself to bin a healthy plant, so i cut the lid off a 3L bottle of cheap cider and wedged the 4" cube in there with 100% perlite underneath it and jammed it in the back of the cupboard grow i was running. Grew about a foot tall and yielded 7 grams of nice, crystally bud, dried!

Greedy-Green · Jan 14, 2016

I like it man, waist not want not haha
Yeah pop bottles a good choice iv heard there getting popular with autoflower growers because the tap root buries straight down
My plan is to limit size so I guess id use a small coke bottle? I'm starting to think tho that limiting the root mass isn't going to be my main approach to growing the smallest plant I can, training is
Happy Farming man

You want it small? Or you're confined to it being small?
