one pot for all

Iam just about to plant my seeds for the first time (First grow).What i want to know is ,is there any problem with planting your seeds straight into a large pot,ie:the pot that it will eventualy flower in.It seems to me that if that didn't present any problems then you could possibly avoid any shock to the seedlings due to repotting for the veg cycle and so on.

i hope you don't mean many seeds in one large pot. otherwise the only issue is with keeping the soil evenly moist. no big deal.

! seed (plant) per pot.

Yes one seed per pot. Otherwise you are going to be untangling tender young roots.

wasnt this a thread in general less than 24 hrs ago??

one per plant or you will end up with a twins seperation like that dude did in that place a while ago or something..

man im baked

no prob. growth will be a little slower with bigger pot.

lol

3 seeds per pot only


lol

dont follow my instructions

im flying right now lol

i think the only real problem with starting your plant in a big pot, would be that it is easier to overwater them.

Hi, thanks for the replies.
No,i did'nt mean to put multiple seeds in one pot just one.
Some interesting answers though.Why would growth be slower ? i would imagine it would be a constant growth or faster,because there is absolutely nothing to interfere with growth ? I think it may seem like the plant is growing slowly at first because a lot of the plants energy has been allowed to go into root formation, but that would probably end up paying dividends in the end as "The better the root system,the better the plant"...right..?sort of like, sacrificing a little time in order to allow the plant time to build a better feeding pump,if you know what i mean.I dont know for sure but repotting just seems like an un-nessecary,not to mention tedious, task,which will put the plant under stress.What iam saying is, why bother????There may be reasons for planting in small pots to begin with that iam not aware of,if so please forgive my ignorance and enlighten me by all means.
I think the problem with overwatering can be just as problematic in small pots as in big ones.
Thanks.

sounds good go for it and keep us updated with picts

Thanks,joe,what ive decided to do is grow half my seeds in large pots with absolutely no interference ie:right from seed to flower,and the other half in small pots transplanting up as i go.Then see if there is much diference with the end product.
I was thinking about starting a grow journal and posting pics and stuff.might ,might not.
Ive got my grow rooms kitted out already and am ready to go,but we have to go down south for a few days first for a funeral service.Its a pain in the ass,having taken so much time to put it all together and have your white widow seeds sitting there in the dark waiting to be sprouted.
Eager to get growing.
P.S: This site is brilliant,and has taught me a lot.Thanks to all.

You're exactly right in your thinking that a plant that is never transplanted will be well-rooted. The problem with starting in large pots is the space to keep them, plain and simple. Smaller pots take up less space. Since with seedlings, you usually start out with more than you'll need so you can cull the weaklings and nonperformers.

If you've got the room, and the light for it, use it on large pots.

Hi, Potroast,i tend to agree with you,but.....read `Babygrows,reply here https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/11270-little-pots-big-pots-2.html

I am a fan of starting my plants in the final pot when ever possible.I do clone grows now so I tend to put clones in rockwool usually now that Im into aero but when I did my dirt grows Id take my clones get them prepped and dipped in thier hormone powder and then stick them right into 5 gallon buckets filled to the rim with miracle grow moisture control.I found it to be opposite of slow usually an 18 inch plant in under 30 days.Im all for big final bucket starts.Good luck on the grow
