I believe it would take a very large plant to outgrow a 7 gl pot indoors. Just my 2 cents.
Maybe ārootboundā is the wrong question. Itās not all that actively growing, although the flowers are getting larger. Itās not dying. So I just looked up something and it said it as a possibility. I just donāt know. Genetics? Like I said, one sister is just too big for her britches the whole time, and one is pretty on track with the other strains. Itās so much shorter and leaves small. Maybe itās fine and Iām paranoid. I can see itās not outgrown it. I likely made a bunch of mistakes as with living soil, a small pot can present issues. The tall sister is in the same size pot though. Thatās the confusion.I believe it would take a very large plant to outgrow a 7 gl pot indoors. Just my 2 cents.
I run AC 6ā in a 4x4 thats 7ā-6ā tall and most of the time itās on 2-4 maxā¦.sucks tent in almost too much if I go any higher.You are right of course, the evaporative just did a better job, under the conditions I have it in, and I need to make some adjustments. Keeping the door closed for one. Thereās a cat door, with the flap off but the closure is worn and it easily pops and cracks open, apparently enough to affect this unit. Itās still in a room not even half the size itās for. I was wrong. Itās rated 400, not 900. Even if I had the room, I donāt really want it inside. I have pics somewhere. Iāll post it. Empty & with ladies. I can take another if I canāt find it.
The 5x5 tent is in a 150sqā room with 7ā ceilings, only in the center as half the rooms wall is slanted etc. Iām running the PhotonTek X600p, an 8ā AC infinity exhaust system (fan, filter, silencer). Itās too big but when told to factor everything in, a 6ā appeared it would have to run close to high all the time. This doesnāt. I now know I could have used the 6ā without problem and save a couple inches of headroom in the process. This runs at 4-5 on lights up and 2 for down. I had it on 6 but did think it was overkill.
The thing works, just not how I expected. It is better than the noise of that other contraption. In the next place Iāll have more control because it will be a dedicated spot. This couldnāt be.
thanks
I got full camping and (4) day passes for Skull & Roses in Ventura this April! Thatās where the Qabbage will be for debut!Youāre right, and itās what I needed to realize. I have in the last 6/7 weeks developed new eyes & ears, and way to process what they take in. A little cryptic (probably not, haha) but what they see & hear now is much better than it has been in a long time.
On an exciting (for me) note, I have decided to semi retire from my lifetime concert obsession. This summer marks the 39th year without parents or family friend etc. Obsession started young, being dragged (lovingly and so thankfully) to festivals & shows and seeing images of Woodstock. Itās all been a big part of my identity. Dad āforgot usā . I mean, pretty decent decision for that dude, at that time since I was only 6 weeks old, but come on man. WTF! Iād have been fine. Letās not really be fooled that my safety was the concern .
40 years would be better but when I saw the new pricing, refund/insurance policies etc, itās just too much for this old bird, who used to just walk in and out and have a blast to have to deal with. Itās robbery in plain site.
Told my concert partner we will cut it way back and do lawn seats for select shows after this summer. Iāll still go to some. There are bands I want to see again, and venues I want to be in again, but that will come over a couple years. I told her, this summer we have to go back to Bethel. The same bands play the two spots (Saratoga too) and SPAC is our backyard but itās only 2 hours to Bethel. I just pulled up the schedule to pick oneā¦..and I saw, on August 21, a week after the 53rd anniversary, Santana is playing Bethel. They played Woodstock unsigned and unknown and he became a superstar. From that spot. Iām ending it there. Itās kind of spiritual for me there, and itās friggin Santana. (Weirdo). I know this has nothing to do with our topics. Iām just excited which is strange because Iām ending an era. Obsession is the word. I live in the middle of 4 major venues, 2.5 hours from 3 stadiums etc. Iāve driven, taken the train, been in a dirty VW bus, and flown. Itās over 420 shows in the 39 years. Thatās whatās ending. In really cool, very me style.
if you got hereā¦.thank you! Haha
Mine only sucks in if I close the vents. The 8ā at speed 5. 6 didnāt suck it in either but itās overkill. Iāve solved the problem of the open vents and passive intake with boxes. Haha. I also put the humidifier in the tent. Whatever it takes. Since I now need less, and know it works, Iāll probably take it out again.

See, thatās what I mean about it not being totally āover.ā There are a bunch of venues out your way I NEED to say goodbye too (weirdo). Red Rocks and a few across the country. It will be a few years but the obsession and āneedā to be there, even for the 15th time, is done. I canāt do it anymore. $$$$.I got full camping and (4) day passes for Skull & Roses in Ventura this April! Thatās where the Qabbage will be for debut!

Vents? Open? I have no vents open in my tent during flower. Only vents I use have pieces of duct in them, certainly do not open those Velcro flap vents during flower.Mine only sucks in if I close the vents.

Itās more the way itās growing. Iām not explaining myself well. Iām sorry. Itās leaves are all really small. The others, after defoliation etc all grew it back pretty quickly. Theyāre 1/4 bigger is my estimation. Iāve seen plenty of tents with uneven plants due to strains or any myriad of things. I guess thatās my answer. 3 seeds, 3 plants. Differences. Especially when grown by meā¦ .You are well into flower. The growing is done for these. That's as tall as they are getting. Maybe a couple more inches.
Thereās no light getting in. Why not?Vents? Open? I have no vents open in my tent during flower. Only vents I use have pieces of duct in them, certainly do not open those Velcro flap vents during flower.
Green affects plants also.Thereās no light getting in. Why not?
I built boxes around them, painted black on both sides.
I know for sure two ways. I was in there in the middle of the day with all the room lights on, and nothing came in, and, because you said you didnāt trust the IR lights I have the night vision off and donāt see any light there either.
we know Iām not going to trust either alone.
edit again. The hallway light that leads to the room is green LED (source) and thereās no reason for any lights to be on that would get in.
That one is a chance Iāll have to take. I donāt have a lot of choice as I donāt live alone and itās not even my space. I donāt see a leak. The door is only cracked for the cat. Iām not opening the tent during dark unless I hear it all crash down.Green affects plants also.
I donāt want anyone to think Iām not listening to advice and warnings. I am!! I have my own notes of course and included is room for me to put notes from all of you so I remember what was said, and what to, and not to do. I do have to take it all in and decide for myself. We all see the result but I am ok with it all right now. Anxious of course because we arenāt there yet, and seeing the flowers changed the āwhatever happens is goodā thing . I want these!!!
Thanks to all of you. I know why there are flowers on my plants today.
Sure. Iām having a hard time for some reason locating some I know Iāve taken but this is from the Wyze pre flip etc.Could you share a few pics or your boxes...very interested in seeing them...thanks
Lookin lush and ready to make some buds.Sure. Iām having a hard time for some reason locating some I know Iāve taken but this is from the Wyze pre flip etc.
My soil mix is a bit different and Iāve had some issues and adjustments to make. They didnāt go in at the right time or from the right size prior. The mulch covers were keeping my mix too wet so I had to take them off. They are lightly covered with rice hull now and i threw some cover crop seeds in for whatever reason I thought. Haha. Iām getting better hahaha. View attachment 1213829
lmao!! Hahah. I could be a better reader too. Haha. I will take some when I get home. Lucky today to spend with my great twin niece and nephew. Well, lucky today because Iām just visiting, not āwatching.ā That shit is tough. Theyāre 3 May 10.Lookin lush and ready to make some buds.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was wanting to see the blacked out boxes for your vent covers.
It was recommended to just help the soil a bit. I donāt think itās going to do much in the short time though. I have seen a few vids of folks using it all the way through. I wasnāt going to use it, which was talked about way too far back in the thread. I just figured it couldnāt hurt and took the advice.Just a tip, cover crops usually arenāt grown during flower or veg. Load up cover crops between cycles to chop right as you are planting the new round. I mean, itās not going to hurt but itās best to have all available nutrients for your girls and not feeding weeds. If you are doing true no till, your trim during veg should go right on top of the soil, it decomposes and feeds the worms andā¦
