2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Cas9]

Little update on Sweet Tooth 1.1 line in 300ml pot! They r in the end of second week of flowering.

Gonna repro so keeping some males too! I cull down 2 males so far and keeping around 7 plants. Think will end up around 4 to 5 plants.

 

[Cas9]

These arent flowering yet. Waiting for other moms to root so I can run at once!
But surely they will be run in the sams 300ml pot or maybe 650ml rockwool block (more comparable to beer pong cup) but will update about that in the near future!

It’s a heater and air conditioner. That thing is quite appealing and although it’s expensive, the cost isn’t much more than standard home appliance portable ac.

With the cost of the AC unit /electric bill I run in the summer. Combined with having to have an AC unit hanging out the window….

I’m looking forward to some user reviews. That unit looks like it would be useful upgrade for me.

Still cruising along! And it’s update day! Been lazy, haven’t grabbed pics yet lol, how’s everyone doin today!

I’m looking hard at the AC Teraform 7 for next summer.

It’s a heater and air conditioner. That thing is quite appealing and although it’s expensive, the cost isn’t much more than standard home appliance portable ac.

The Terraform is also a dehumidifier on top of the heater and air conditioner.

It's definitely neat and I love ACI but I need to run an Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier at the same time so having both units in 1 package does not work for me. You can only use 1 mode at a time so unless you don't need other modes at the same time, I see the value in it.
My a/c, dehumidifier, and heater combined costs $300 less then the Terraform.
I can very easily duct my a/c and/or dehumidifier into my tent if needed.

I'm fortunate that the price of electricity is low I'm my area.
In my 3 tents combined I have 2250 watts of lights, 14,000 BTU air conditioner, 11,000 BTU dehumidifier, and then a few hundred more watts with all my intake, exhausts, circulator fans. I don't pay more then $125 a month for electricity.

im putting a few more cracked seeds into their solos this morning. Day should be pretty good. Enjoy your lazy day! You deserve it : )

Here im worried about watering a one gal as im also doing the Christmas tree solo might just have to move out into the shed for all this watering! im really glad I went with 3 gal. I feel like if I hone my skills i can really utilize them. The 7 I had were just too big for my liking. But im too much slacker to get anything really going in less than 3gal!

Been seeing this “pro mix” stuff mentioned an awful lot around here! Might have to give it a shot when I get tired of spinning my wheels with what im doing right now hahaha!

What is the Christmas tree solo?

 

[BearWater]

@Franniemae53 It’s a fun comp like the 1 gallon challenge : )

Friday update.
Spread her out a little more to give the inner branches some space to move. Some minor leaf tucking. Will reapproach and clean up when the dust settles.

Love those Saturday morning no make up pics!

Should have seen her yesterday when I redid the LST. She was looking quite scraggly

Those are the candid pics we dont share

I started using the LST clips I purchased on Etsy for my 1 gallon challenge plant and now these Blackberry Auto, I will say I like them a lot more then a scrog net.

Just seems much simpler then putting up my scrog net/frame, then cutting the plants out of it at harvest, and then taking it apart again.

Thinking of running only LST clips for my next 8x4 grow.

I’ve been using more clips this run also! I have maybe one or two plants that coud benefit from the net but I don’t want to mess with it this round. Ill stake the plants that need the support and call it good : ) I dont really like the ones I have but Im making them work this run.

How long do you plan on regularly vegging? Those clips and a little longer veg might just do the trick

Those mind of clips have been on my "expendable money" wishlist..... so far down on my wishlist, but so cheap that I'll probably be picking some up within the year
