In answer to your questions these two are Future 1 and Runtz Tangie. Currently eight weeks old, and prepping them to flower. These are hybrid strains and both seem to be leaning toward the Indica side fairly heavy. Yield depends on several factors, topping, Fimming, etc. I also scrog them which helps big time with the yield. How much? Enough that I only want two in that tentBut I usually don't grow plants this big in diameter. those are huge. What kind of yield do you get from plants this big when they finish? These are not even in flowering. They're going to be gigantic.
About watering, ideally, it is best to water in the root zone, the outer circle of your pot. Two reasons for this, it encourages the root ball to grow out and away from the bottom of your plant and another is watering that close to the root ball will eventually build a mud hole beneath your plant that will deprive it of oxygen. As far as humidity goes my veg plants love it. Providing a fresh air exchange will take care of any fungal prob that you are worried about. I’d be more worried about powdery mildew from stacking your tent so full. Just do itPro Mix Bio Myco. My technique is not to completely soak all the potting soil right at transplanting. It makes no sense since the root ball is only the size of a 16-ounce cup. Soaking the entire pot could present a danger of overwatering. And add too much humidity to the room for my taste. And that promotes fungal diseases. I add water a little at a time. Next time the watering will include nutrients. They're due.
I also wanted to ask, what is that strain in your profile picture with the purple buds? Do you know? I've been kicking around the idea of growing a colorful strain just for fun. I know there are other strains with colorful buds. I saw one that was red or pink-colored one time.In answer to your questions these two are Future 1 and Runtz Tangie.

That was Captain Redbeards Wedding Cake. Never saw such wild colored buds ever. Was fun to grow, called for cooler temps.I also wanted to ask, what is that strain in your profile picture with the purple buds? Do you know?

Do whatever your wife says 100% of the time and you'll be smilingthat depends on what you are growing, I have a 4 x 4 x 8 foot tent with 2 photoperiod plants that is out growing the tent My wife wants me to put them into the spare bathroom to grow them into completion & grow the autos in it
This could very well get out of control with crowding. As I mentioned before this is an experiment. I hate scrog nets because after hermie incidents in the past I want to take each plant out of the room periodically and carefully prune and examine them for bananas and balls at eye level. Hard to see looking down on them. So the parameters of the experiment are to drill holes in the nursery pots and build vertical cages out of thick gardening wire to attempt to get the same effect as a scrog. Not tapered like a tomato cage, but squared-off. Trying to separate the colas for an even carpet. And try to get away with overcrowding that way. If it works the system will be more effective than a scrog because it's a more flexible system and can be more precisely fine tuned. I've seen many scrog net set-ups that still wasted horizontal space. They didn't fill the net holes and there is not any geometric cohesion to the carpet of colas. It's often not even, it's haphazard. I want corner to corner coverage and not waste one square inch of horizontal space or lumens. If the experiment fails and it gets completely out of control I have my old closet that I've been using for years. It's still got a 400W Super Lumen lamp hanging and ready to go and I have more ventilation equipment ready as well. My air conditioning unit should be able to cool both rooms. I have an alternative area with shelving that I can set up my clone nursery if they get pushed out of the closet. I have two fluorescent lamps ready . This could end up being a three-room operation if push goes to shove.I have a 4x4 and can cram in 3 3gal pots, could cram in 4 but we can only legally grow 3 at a clip, this is under a 600w 2 cycle led, can cram 9 2gal nursery pots but it's to close and tight.unless your doing a scrog run.
Personally unless I was doing a sea of green ( in that case I would use 16) I would only put a few in because when they compete ,they shade each other ,they all lose and get tall and you gain nothing by adding moreLighting: Hydro Farm 600w HID in 4 X 4 tent and Hydro Farm 400w HID in a 24 x 60 inch closet. Switching off from Halide to HPS shortly after flowering.
Strains: Mataro Blue (indica dominant) and White Widow (sativa dominant).
Nutrients: The Fox Farm Trio
Additonal nutrients: Neem Oil and Cal Mag Plus
Medium: Pro-mix BX Myco
Any help with this project is greatly appreciated. I may need it. It is my most ambitious project yet and I could have problems like all projects. I will post pictures. I can't compete with the pictures I've seen in contests but there are some nice pics on my profile. I've had some nice yields and kick-ass potency through the years. How many 5-gal. pots should I try to cram into a tent? I like to grow plants up to about 3 to 4 feet and I want to utilize HST and LST. I have a garden wire training thing I'm experimenting with. Like somewhat of a cage. I'm copying others' techniques. I'm a veteran grower but this is my first tent grow. I'm about to roll with a dual-room project and would really like to flower both rooms simultaneously if the ventilation works out. I may need to combine and "Y" the outtakes. The closet room will be a nursery of clones and the tent shut down after the harvest. And then I'll shut down the closet and only run the 4 x 4 for a few months. And then take a breather and maybe shop for new genetics. Hopefully about that time I'll be jarring up a good load of potent hash.
It's going to be a hash summer and the two strains I'm growing, White Widow and Mataro Blue, are known for high trichome production. Come along for the ride and watch me kick out some hash. I made a couple little jars of Blue Cheese hash last summer when I had those plants covered in trichomes. Even the scrap from that produced hash. And now I'm hooked on the hash train. I want more hash! When I put a little bit of that in the vape with weed it really lights me up. And sadly, I'm almost out of that sweet Blue Cheese hash.
So how many five-gallon pots should I cram into this tent? Assembling the tent caused me considerable pain this morning because I pulled a shoulder muscle trying to stretch the base last night. Got it mounted but had to quit because I was in pain. And then grimacing in pain finished the assembly this AM. The cage was a too-large diameter for the base. It was way off and I did tap the joints flush. It was too late to save my shoulder but I finally figured out that It was time to dig out the hack saw and trim 3/4 inch from one segment and 1/2 an inch from another. AFTER I pull a muscle and with a dull-ass blade. I was afraid I was going to rip the base trying to stretch it over with channel locks. But after a day of heavy ibuprofen therapy I'm feeling chipper and happy. And stoned. Although I'm taking it easy.
I've got 6 fem. White Widow and 9 fem. Mataro Blue seedlings. From BC Seed Co. Almost two weeks old. 100% germination like all seeds I get from BCSC. They're up and growing and the White Widow are being consistent with growing fast. Unlike most growers, as I've recorded in past logs, I start adding nutrients as soon as the first true leaves appear. They jump like rockets. I'm convinced this helps ward off disease as well. I've already grown WW from this source and it was spectacular. The best plant in the room, not a single ball or banana. And the heaviest yield. The taste was incredible and it made such potent hash. It had that unique spicy, perfumy taste and aroma. So I know I've got good genetics here. I'm cloning it off this time. I couldn't believe how fast the single WW plant grew. For most of the project it was twice the size of the others and the same age!
The grow tent is nice, I re-enforced the frame with thick gardening wire and tape. I should have enough equipment stocked and hoses and what not. Some of it new in the box. Brand new lamp. Just need a tower fan and some Big Bloom and I think I'm done buying stuff. I have a new closet fan coming. Those things never last. I hope I can make this tower fan last longer than those. I burn them out in a year or less running non-stop. The 4-inch hose fans have been champs and I have two of those ready. I think one of them just ran non-stop for almost 2 years. I use in-line ventilation fans as well to suck cold air in from outside or from the air conditioner. Some of those are surprisingly powerful. And they last for years. Hopefully the fans get the job done. This is the most powerful lamp I've owned and it is going to get hot in there. I was grateful that the tent had plenty of 4-inch hose ports as well as 6-inch. I thought maybe they would only have 6-inch ports. I had adapters ready. And I also have a big 6-inch 440 CFM fan with light hours on it. That thing is noisy but I may need to fire it up. The first test burn will tell.
Yeah, it's getting pretty nuts in there. I've been busy with the home-run business lately but it's probably time to bust a move on this. They really did get away from me and crammed that tent with foliage in a hurry. I'm just going to have to set up a clone area on a nearby shelf and fire up the second flowering room in the next couple days. The 400 Super Lumen HPS is about to get lit. I kind of figured it might head that way. Nice luxury to have a second flowering room ready and it's time. i can have it set up in minutes everything is ready so here I go for that big, fat harvest. I think the three Mataro Blues go in the closet and I'll leave the six White Widows in the tent. It makes sense to separate them by strain. In case one is more prone to hermie than the other.Personally unless I was doing a sea of green ( in that case I would use 16) I would only put a few in because when they compete ,they shade each other ,they all lose and get tall and you gain nothing by adding more
