Hello all! Does pot size effect yield? In my case i have been running 65 to 200 gal pots, and i think that upping to a 600 will increse plant size and therefore yield. BTW this 600 is huge ten feet across and 35in deep approx

Hi,We will see i am shooting and hoping for 3 months of full sun veg, but depending on temps possiably less. The babes are from seed and are 30 days old now, foot tall under T5s. Start acc at the end of april and run supplemental lighting. But i have had a few people say its way to much dirt, that 600 and up are totally execessive. BUT the biggest and best plants i have seen are in the ground, or beds with a open bottom.
Good thinking, but the bacterial benefits don't really transfer throughout the medium. It can help where the roots are available to uptake the nutrients, but the bacteria don't move around and any benefits from their action is lost if the roots can't get to it. The roots only grow to a certain size, unlike goldfish in a giant tank!Well the theory i am basing this on is that the more volume of dirt the more microbial activity is present, thru the exchange of the living soil food web a much higher availability of nutrient to the plant. Even if the roots do not extend to the edges, dont the fungi and bacteria convert and transfer? I am rocking cover crops, living mulch and organic soil, and lots of AACT. Of course this is outdoors, i have some 200 gal smarties and some 250 gal raised beds that will be ran side by side. And yes a redwood with pineapples and berries is the goal lol

That was like a few weeks ago, they are well over a foot, seed plants of course. Still got another month veg inside then three months outside. HL thread was SICK!!! i also checked out Jorges video. The real question is what and how often did they get fed? Just like mendo dope killing it in 600 and 1000 gal pots; but not really telling us the food. I digress.... i am going to put not the biggest baddest one i have into it(have like 200 right now, 100 after sex....) but a baby more average so i can compare to my 250 and 200 side by side.
I wonder tho, not a single AACT put on them? I reckon after years of rocking it in the same space your dirt should be fully loaded with all the bennies and fungi needed. No topdressings of amendments or any homemade compost or EWC? also tho those trenches had unlimited soil space, beyond the size dug and back filled those roots were hangin out with the red woods. He is the man, wish i could pick ganja d's brain for a few hours lol. HL is as inspiring as it gets, i am planting lots of flowers and veggies, putting up good stuff to help pollinators. Also building a bug bump with plants focused on attracting beneficial bugs running the entire length of the hoop house.Recipe for Humboldts soil for a 300 gallon pot a page or two from the end of the thread he did supplement with foliar feeding .
Thanks man, just a few T5s daisy chained.. Wish i had a legit hoop house or a buncha 1000 watt hps, but oh well plants love the tech lights for vegging. hopefully they dont get to mad when we go outside. And about the roots your most def right, the majority of root mass of cannabis is feeder roots, found in the top 10 inches. It makes sense because the majority or biological activity is in the top few inches.Nice setup.
