About the pot size.
If you remember the post from grownsince85 marts 3.
The main roots pretty much looks like the branches until flower and stretch.
But you already tried two sizes so you got an idea.
It also depends on how or if you train the plant.
And maybe if you use synthetic nutes you can use smaller pots but i don't know. I only know about organic soil.
Right now in my eyes, your pots looks right for the plants size, amount and the tents.
But thats just me.

I feel if you are watering by hand i think i understand if you want less and bigger plants. If it is because of the access as it is for me.

Does it smell like weed when you smoke it ? Or can you smoke it everywhere ?

LoL i don't even know how much it smells when i smoke or vape. Only that it's probably more than i like to think.
I tried in the train with a friend one time with my big stationary volcano but there were only one woman close and se said nothing.
Ha ha i was asking her if the 220 volt worked at her seat. After the train started driving she told us now the power works. LoL man and then i dragged out the volcano. I bet she never expect that but i felt she liked the vibes.
But i hope with the new one i can pretend it's normal vape in public. I'm gonna ask some non smokers when i get it.

Another thing. I only vape dry herbs and on rare occasions hash. I can also vape oil in the volcano but havn't tried.
At a time i tried to make my own fluid for normal vapes, but the project stranded because the additive was propylene glycol, and i don't like to vape that. Also to let you know, @JIMKSI64 if you care about that.

Dude, i barely remember what i ate yesterday

But i think the 15 liter pots are okay imo.

About the lights, i run them at nighttime and everything is located in the basement, with tinted windows and airco in my mancave next to the grow room and i've got an portable airco for the room. So hoping i can keep the temps under control.

Yes, it's about acces, and now some plants touch each other. And also i'm really afraid of mold. In my first grow i had it! Sad story

Sounds like a good plan.

Yeah it sucks. Most people have tried that and it's always the big harvest .
I had mold first time last year. First i thought it was only the main bud, but when it was dry it was in all the bigger buds.
I'm checking if the sativas can handle 70% rh this summer.

Edit: Hey Captain, you ask for suggestions. How about growing some weed that helps on the memory in one of the tents. It's normally also good day smoke.

Cool, i'll order some new pots and new nutrients for upcomming round.
I'll stay with plagron, no need to switch. Except price maybe ? So i'm selling feet pics right now, size 44!

70% seems really high ? Also in flowering ? I'm really scared for high humidity, so i run my dehumidifier alot in the lung room.

For real, that's a thing ? What strain suggestions do you have in mind?
For now, I might opt for a good yield and fast flowering. That way I can build up some stock so i don't run out anymore and maybe sell a little to cover the costs.

Royal queen seeds has a high yield pack that i maybe like. https://www.royalqueenseeds.be/wietzaadjes-mix-packs/603-high-yield-pack.html

Sorry i'm a 46 liker.

70% is high in flower but i manage somehow anyway. Only one plant with mold and the walls even get wet some times.
I don't really have ventilation done yet but it will be ready before flower.

Yeah you can't mix too many plans so you might wait with the memory weed. It tends to flower longer.

And about high yielder. I tried one and the smoke was actually very good. It gave 205 gram in a quater of a m2 using 300 watt shared with three other plants. But i don't have any recommendations.
Ehhh maybe amnesia haze. It's maybe not super big yield but pretty good yield and good smoke too, just not for the memory.
I got 455 gram in 1 m2 4 plants 300 watt with them, even with two of them fucked up a bit.

Day 32

I'm a bit worried for mold.. Look how the middle of the plant is so full of leaves.. How much can i remove to improve airflow? And i think these white widows gonna produce a lot of popcorn bud's.
The sherbert queen is getting a cool leaf color.











Day 15
I've had some bending clips, so i tried a few on some plants
For this tent, can i remove the big leaves around day 18 or so ?

LoL i was waiting for that.

About the buds.
You could remove the small ones if they don't seem to be other than popcorn, or leave them if you don't mind.

But about the leafs. I'm no expert but look inside the plant.
There should be some smaller leaf. A little deform or leaf fingers pointing upside down. A little more pale too or folded.
I'd say you can remove them to start with and it means more than you should think. Both light vice and for air.
And i see some are still pretty dense. If you can't move those fan leaves away from the bud sites, maybe think about removing some more?
But i'm not good at defoiling so maybe others can help.
I keep as much leafs as i can for nute reserve except for those leafs i mentioned first. I remove them during flower, but i use organic fertilizer. I think that matters to. I don't remember if you do.

Edit: Yeah i can see some of those leafs i mention on your pictures.

At this point i also normally remove the first budsites on the lover branches at least.
I think thats pretty normal with big plants.
I have only had one type of plant where i regretted that. And yours don't look like that type.

I would suggest removing all the leaves that are being over shadowed by upper, bogger leaves. Of you have some that are laying on top of other leaves.....remove them. Also clean up the lowers on all the plants, they usually cant pick up the lighting anyway, will help with air flow down below near the soil as well

Okay, i'll give it a shot tomorrow. But it's a bit scary to dive so deep in the plant, kinda afraid to damage something,
thnx guys!

Yeah it can feel a bit wrong removing leafs, but just be a little careful. And maybe not remove all in one day.
But when you have cleaned it up i bet you will feel it looks more right.
I can give you a professional advice for once. Remove some you chose. Then step away and look at the plant. Gives you a much better overview and feeling with it. Makes it faster to learn too. And that means something.
And the smaller leafs inside is the same as terpbeans mention. The only thing they do is using energy, twisting when searching for light imo

They tolerate a lot more than you'd think, as long as you don't bet on that trait. Sending the plant into reveg is easier with light leaks than trimming as long as you're not taking some part so big that you could clone it lol.

Yesterday i was about to suggest to try for example two different leaf removal or popcorn removal. Just to get more hands on experience now that you have 5 same plants.
But it looks fine.
Actually i wouldn't have guessed you removed leafs on the big ones LoL
