Mosh wants to learn to grow !

So I thought I might wanna ck out the roots of my first promix/pbpg, looks good
Really thinkin bout upping plant size/yield and lowing plant count , thinkin 5 gallon containers ?
Couple reasons -one getting tired of that crowded tent problems
- two gonna start the room this summer so photos are coming this year! Yes
- I’m almost done running the multiple strains until I get to photos of course! Lol then I get to start all over

Big pots grow lots of pot!

Just about everything in flower now is some kind of skunk lineage, room stinks more than normal but unfortunately not like skunk! Lol
Everything so branchey and bushy doesn’t really fit my style.

You got a damn field indoors ! Lol seriously if we were in our forever house I’d love to use a big bag like that! With real amended soil! As close to outdoors as you can get.

We will finish out the autos this year with mostly cheese or white strain crosses .
But now gonna start planning our new room! and huntin more quality photo beans for this time next year.

Better? Of just different we will c or at least have a opinion

Sp-250 looks good in the veg tent, I’ve been happy wanna see what different light does for me uptop id the new kingbrites 480 watts Samsung h diodes with far red and Ir I do feel they run hotter than the mars? Or mars has a better heatsync ?

My sons dog Stella was posin so she makes the thread! Lol

I run 2 sp 150s in my veg tent 24/0... I have mine in a 3x3 and they are awesome... You can prolly get away with at least 5x3

Too big a pot for the plant imo is a waste of nutes if you're not going to grow monsters. Outdoors there's almost no limit to the size of pot but indoors I think its a waste and for me at least more difficult to determine watering needs. Are we not supposed to get runoff? How can you get run off out of the 10 gallon pot in doors? I can see a need for 5 gal but any more than that just seems over kill to me. I'm all ears to hear what the benefits to large pots are, I'd like to find out why the need, If there's a good reason I will rethink my thoughts on it. I see so many with the large pots in small tents & that baffles me as to what the gains are

Well I move mine around a lot, and I do prefer them on the smaller (side 2-3 zips max) but skunk there has a nice big set up ! Uses real amended soil and is the closest to outdoor I’ve seen in my opinion. We all have have different needs,styles,methods,etc.
I’m happy with my promix in 2 gallon pots but it’s a lot of work at times specially flower where as skunkydunk set up is prolly less work and more yield in the long run

Speaking of moving around , I had this male autoflower, yes it was hard to come by but I got it before I did my research on genetics , thought I’d pollinate a branch c what happens right. I’ve done this out doors before , anywYs I took the waiting lady out the tent pollinated a branch a let her set . Plan was to come back days later and put her back in the tent, OOPS I rennet cing pug and thing wtf why’d I leave this out? Dumbass, as I put in the tent now I got seeds in like 6 plants ! Smh ‍ not bad but too many and they are all some form of skunk! To leafy branchy bushy for my liking it will have to be awsome smoke fir me to grow again , we will c

Just laughing with you. I have no idea how to pollinate, but I want to leave a Blueberry OG and my Blue Magoo x HCP together to see if they can make seeds. They are only 5 weeks old now, so I have plenty of time to get my answers.

That light is 480w. is 245w, produce less heat, and the with the thick heat sink, help better cooling.

My sp150s from mars run by far way cooler than my boards

Hi. About my grow , I basically have nothing I want ! Lmao I figure the first year I can play with the indoor stuff and add tools and upgrade as I go. I just wanted to start!I thought auto flowers sounded like the shit so I bought a bunch of seeds on sale! True north seed bank and the seeds man.

The mars does run about 7 degrees cooler in my set up. But as mars states the I have 2 kingbrite side by side surely this increases the output

I was wrong the mars does run a little cooler

Big pots need to have long vegges to take advantage. 10 to 12 ounces per plant indoors is doable.
My last grow, 5 plants in a 3x6 canopy with a 93 gallon bag yeilded 49 ozs.
10 weeks from seed in veg, 11 1/2 flower.
I know soil is a hassle for most folks to discard, but I've added over 40 bags of spent soil to our veggie garden and it's working great.
