Using Viparspecrta P1000 Lights
Mix of half and half happy frog and ocean forest with some perlite mixed in.
And fox farm complete lineup of nutrients expect boomerang. Used at 1/3rd recommended strength.

Currently have lights at 25 percent at 32 inches above plants. I overwatered 3 of them. Forgot I watered them while I was watering them. Little too high, I guess.

Have not really kept up with this as I had planned to. But here we are at beginning of week9. Looks like the 5gallon pots are kicking the 3s asses. I really didn't think it would matter with a plant this small. I was clearly wrong. Glad I did this.

3gallon pots

5g pots

I don’t think you will notice a difference.

Pot size in organics matters, in synthetics it only really determines plant size upper limit and how often you water

Out of curiosity, have you done the math on what the additional cost is for the soil in the bigger pot vs what the yield is and whether that additional cost is actually gaining you a much higher amount of yield or if you would be no worse off if you just saved the money for the soil in the bigger pot and gotten less of a yield? Also, how was the lighting positioned? Were they in a line with the light above the middle two pots? or in placed in a circle with the light directly in the center of them all?

I was going to do all that and post it at the end when I get the dry weight. I am thinking the same thing. The 5 pots are going to have a little more. But I also had to use more soil and water them more often. I did not feed them more often though. They did need a full gallon of water as well. Instead of the half gallon that I use on the 3gallon pots. They all only got fed once a week. I'll show u the lights show u can see. I noticed on last grow that this strain cannot handle the lights very well. You have to really keep some distance, or they don't like it.
