I agree, this pic is 7 days into 12/12. These are in FFOF + 25-30% perlite and topped once. No further training required, I'll stake the mains up in a week or two.
What quantity do you think you`ll get cramping 9 in 3 gallon pots in such a small space?
8 gallon will be ok. 13 gallon and veg a little longer and the 1 plant will reward ya pretty well.
It all comes out about the same, the more plants you use the less veg time required. I used a 4x8 with 18 plants in it for years and hit between 4-5#.
I'm not understanding how 1 plant is more work than multiple.
I've grown 32 plants in a 4x8. It was a pain in the ass. I now do 1 in a 3x3. It's much easier. Granted I don't get as much yield in that space but it's almost a quarter of the size smaller. I dunno.. much easier imo.
The thing that makes me nervous about that is messing up the plant. I would say min 2 but I like the idea.
Yea, it is scary. Especially in dwc... during the summer I constantly worried about power outages every time there was a storm here. Lol
Yeah my anxiety would not be ok with that. I’m good with four. If I mess one up. I still I have (grabs calculator) 3!
Totally on board with ya D.D. I'll put 2 plants in my 2 x 4 in 5 gallon buckets. Each plant in a 4 square foot area provides good air movement with no overcrowding. Yields are just under 1 lb each time.
One plant would have to veg for a long time in order to get the structure of many plants, a monster! Veg for 4 months or more! Then ScrOG or tie it down to fill up the whole 4x4 tent then flower! Where you can take 9 veg for 1 month and flower done
What light are you begging with? Looks great
It's under an HLG 600 Rspec set at 50% with distance of 30" for veg. Slowly turning up now during second week of 12/12. Its at about 420 watts now and I will keep turning it up a bit every day until it hits 600 watts. There is also an HLG UV bar attached which I will turn on when stretch done.
I've made that mistake more times than I can count, I've just got to the point where I buy a size bigger than I think I need and use a thermostat or speed controller depending on the setup.
Why do you feel you need a bigger one? I am just curious as I have a 4" in a 4x4 and I get negative pressure easily at half power.
Is there a reason you're waiting until after stretch to turn on the UV?
