2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Natep]

I’m thinking self watering pots.

 

[Newty]

GAME ON!!!
That's not the actual grow space I'll be using, just threw up something quick for a pic lol.
Just say when and I'll be ready

Don’t worry we’ll figure out a way for you to put one of my winning buds in there

I like the setup!

I wouldn't say no to that, as long as I get to smoke it lol

It would be cool to win but I've seen what the members here can do, there's some very talented growers here!

I've never grown anything under 3 gallon so it's all new to me. It will be fun and definitely a learning experience!

 

[AZreefer]

Lets talk genetics. Are there some strains that are going to shine in a 1 gallon pot?

 

[Tumbleweed375]

I thought I found the perfect container... unfortunately, I did the research and it turns out a butt is equivalent to 108-140 gallons. I was looking forward to a buttload of cannabis.

Here is the Big Booty Banner

im not even joining if big bootys involved that ass is probably around a gallon to

Yes, every strain every seed.

Ohhh shit he’s busting out the big guns . I should just quit while I’m ahead lol. That looks like something from a science lab. My buddy used those airpots before, I don’t remember if he liked them or not, but he grew some beautiful plants in them. Here’s his GDP that he pulled out of that funky space hat

She just hitting veg now. Going to be a while longer, and lots more training. If it all goes according to plan she's gonna be thicker than a snickers ..



Started from a clone off the Bruce Banner #2.

Ok there’s a lot of cool shit about this picture…but I’m not discounting the floor, did you make that yourself? That looks dope

I hear ya 100% I’ve never flowered in less than a 3 gallon pot, that’s why for a lot of us this will be a new experience,

now personally I’d grow in smaller pots but I like to do 2-4 big plants at a time, I may do 6x in 1 gallon pots to try it out, but just watering the 1 itself will be a handful to keep up with with my work schedule, if I can find some nice 2 gallon pots I’d probably run 6x in those but those air pots look nice, basically what I do to pots with a drill bit but… all professional like

I think the last 1 gallon challenge was my first foray into using one gallon pots, they happen to fit perfectly in the 1x3 portion of my 3x4 tent. So I have a little experience with them, but always in the cramped quarters of the 1x3x3 part of the tent. I see some people like the Captain running them with higher overhead clearance and feeding them salt based nutrients, seems like the sky’s the limit in that aspect. All my girls have been short and stout just like me

Lol I’m so conflicted in where to run it I have the 4x4 empty… but do I wanna fire up all that gear for 1 plant? Not sure, I’m thinking veg in the lab under the SF600 then plop them into the flower tent with the others, damn near close setting up the 4x4 as a dry tent only now that the lab is up and running but I know I’ll want a taller space to veg out some bigger plants before flowering

The SF600 is a small light but damn does it ever make some nice stocky plants, this damn x okie is only about 8” tall but if I flipped this girl right now i know she’d explode, I gotta go back and do some timed comparisons to see the growth rate and planting date etc

 

[Mikedin]

Ok folks maybe this will help us decide sprout / seedling / veg times then a flip date

Here’s the Cman x okie since she was put in water, June 1st soaked overnight put into soil June 2nd

4th of July pic was an up pot from 4” pot to 6” pot as well as topped
So from soak to today that’s 40 days so far

Left pic dates attached to easier see each stage and date

IMO June 21st would be end of seedling and start of veg, opinions anyone? That was be 21 days from soak, then veg time currently since then is 20 days of veg, so 3 weeks for sprout and seedling, then switch into veg currently at 21 days, do folks think that’s enough time? Before flipping to flower? I’d throw this girl in a 1 gal pot and toss her in the flower tent but I’m waiting to get a clone off her first then she’s going right in I’ll probably throw her in a Gaia green bucket for a week or 2 to let her stretch out some nodes then she’s movin

to be clear this veg time includes 1 topping at the 6th node I believe (then I strip the bottom node off to make bottom clearance from the soil, just part of my method)

 

[Rama777]

I think that’s a very reasonable timeline. I would not want to have any less time, but would be open to having to deal with more.

 

[Mikedin]

Kinda where I am really, I think this is the minimum time, I think she’d make a nice little plant flipped at this stage but I think another week will be better, we’ll see where she is in a few more days

 

[Natep]

It’s going to depend on the strain if it wants to mature that fast or slow. I kind of wish we were going from clones.

It’d be nice but so many people sadly don’t have access to clones
