i thinks dealers choice on that one, but roots will, or at least could tangle if you put 2 into 1 container.

Sorry op... A bigger reservoir will be more stable with the ph, temperature and ec.

That looks full and chunky for 5 weeks it's a beauty, well done!
If you could pack your space with them it would be nice!

Did you just tie it over?

at vegetation phase i use LST to go full circle around the netpot. Then let her grow upwards.. There is also Chiken netting inside that works as SCROG and helps to uphold the plant


For you visual learners i made this masterpiece :)

Green is Plant, RED is LST, BLUE is Chiken netting

Ps. its good to drill couple holes into lid & Secure netpot with Zipties or she might fall over from too much weight..

chicken wire must be differant ware you live as it only has 1" holes over here in the uk, it would destroy all your buds if you had to move the plant. do you mean like chain link fence that surounds a basket bsall court?

All the mesh I look or have seen is all to heavy gauge, I'd like to find a light gauge 3" square mesh.

I used to use that orange safety netting, it's got good sized holes.
I've also sat a pot on a piece to give me lots of fixing points around the pot.

I love the addition for visual learning which Incidently I am more so than reading.
Sometimes I need to read something over and over where a glance at a photo tells me immediately.

so youve tried the webbing that they sell for inisde grow tents? that should be good, two of those will/shoud hold up a crop of bud.
you can buy plastic mesh that will do the job, look for plastic fencing

Id be wary of Mega Crop. It has lots of organic components and that can lead to explosive bacterial/algae growth. Hydro generally works much better using pure salt based nutes with zero organic components. By the way even the new Mega Crop has enzymes = organic components. Some people get away with it though, so you may be ok.

If your roots are anything other than pure white, thats bad news.

By the way - nutes do NOT stain roots. If they are not pure white, then they are not 100% healthy, and you probably have a bacterial growth on them.

I dont think thats a problem unless your growing regular plants and might be needing to cull males. If they are all FEM's, then it isnt an issue.
