Gorgeous plants...love the buds. I gotta do indoor next year.3 gallon grow bag- vegan soil... I did make some teas for her and on occasion I mixed rocks dust and water and then feed her this for the added phosp
All in all it was a 16z plant with little trim left over thanks to the big haze dom colas...

My first time growing pot but I've been growing other stuff in coco for years. Figured I'd give my 3D printed pot design a run. These end up as about 3/4 gallon of coco with no perlite. Watering every 90 minutes starting 30 min before lights on and finishing up an hour after lights out. The powder on the edge of the spikes is salt. Thought it was mold at first but clearly crystalline under the microscope. Nutrient goes in at 1000ppm and comes out at 700 to 800ppm. "Waste" gets added to my outdoor reservoir for my pepper plants so I don't really care what the throughput is.
Bout a week or so from harvest. I'm sure I can do better next time but for a first run, I'm happy with the results.

Bought myself a 5 set each of 1gal/2gal/3gal fabric pots, going to try bottom watering/shallow flood and see how they go. Just started 3 Runtz Auto, 3 Wedding Cake and 3 Peyote Cookies a week ago in Rockwool got 2 RA, 3 WC and 2 PC popped up now and going to the 3 gal for the autos and 2 gals everything else. What's the smallest I could use to get a half LB a plant because last 2 grows were with 80L pots and got 2.5lb from 4 plants

Super old comment. Sorry.View attachment 602615
Gorilla Bubble F1 - Gorilla Glue #4 x Sour Bubble
520g dry weight at the end. Tested 26% THC - all from 5 gallons of Tupur / Veg+Bloom
Currently working now to lock down this pheno. Seeds will be available in the near future.
Are these the seeds from the guy who did the RIL line with bubble and gg4?

Eskander did a great job!
Heres a couple pics of a breeding project I've been working on for a while. I pollinated 3 of these under a 250 hps. I threw 3 clones under the light with practically no veg time.

How many times a day are you watering and are you using nutes everytime? Those look amazing too!

Thanks, had some lessons learned from that grow (my first) but overall I think it went well.
No reason for a giant plant unless you are selling seeds. What is the cross? Or crosses?
If that was for me, every 2 hours of lights on for 6 minutes. Enough to get 20% runoff per feed (about 300ml). They also got a midnight watering as well to keep them well hydrated.
Here is my current grow:
1 gallon mesh pots. Bit bigger than last time so I can use the printed drip rings and get really even watering. I like the printed pots but they couldn't really be reused and my printers are too small to scale them up to a full gallon. The three autoflowers are gorilla cookies which I just harvested for about a pound total. The big one is a purple punch x afghan that I just flipped into flower. It covers about 80% of the tent as is and gets watered every three hours of lights on with a liter and a half. That is probably overkill but I started noticing salt build up at the bottom of the pot and ultimately 2 gallons a day is solidly in "the who gives a shit" range when coming from a 55 gallon reservoir. The catch tray gets emptied once or twice a week so I can ignore it for days without concern.
I'd love to find pots that are 1 gallon but are wide and short so the oxygen exchange surface would be maximized but these don't seem to have issues. I tore up the root bundles on the auto flowers and even towards the center of the pot they were nice and white so they seemed to be getting as much oxygen as they needed. I'll be curious to see if the much larger plant has similar roots at the end of its cycle.

Eskander hats off to you Sir. I've been around the forums for years and your grow is off the charts. I'd love to be able to do something like that. I am thinking of adding cocoa to my soil mixture in my outdoor grow, no pots, whats' your thought on that. Cheers..DD

Damn fungus gnats... Mostly harmless but dead is still my preference. Zapper knocks the population back pretty well. Freaks me out when they hit it while I'm doing maintenance though. BANG!I’m digging that bug zapper in the tent
I don't know much about growing in dirt to be honest. I see people talking about adding coco to dirt and it makes sense for water retention I guess. Plenty of amendments can help get you to the retention/drainage behavior you want. If you are going to do a nutrient solution, I'm not sure what having any dirt in there actually gets you. An argument could be made for cation exchange capacity but in drain to waste it is constantly refreshed so we come back to "why bother?" again. Certainly for small pots, you need to use a nutrient solution so a strictly inert matrix like coco, rock wool or crushed puffed glass seems like the way to go.
