Week 8 for the bigger plants.
2 weeks for the cups. Shits going alright.
Ks-3000 18 inches away from cups 25%
Got some more room in the veg area. Had a friend with power tools come over. We cut up the bench in the sauna and removed it. Lots of room now. It's 5x6

Chopped plants in box. Buds aren't as big as I want. 10 week veg time only. 2 gal buckets.
Next run I'm vegging longer for sure.

Awesome, Dad! You’re going to love having that extra space! I’m sure you’ll put it to good use! : )

Looks good! Keep your lights at that height and just turn up the juice over time.

As far as yield, I expect the issue is the pot size. For the time you vegged you should have big plants in flower, but the pot size limits the size of the plant. I found 5 gallons is a sweet spot for most grows. That said, you’ll see a lot of people using anything and everything bigger from 7 to 50 gallon.

Vegging for a long time is the route to bigger plants but doing so in a small pot may lead to plants getting root bound and then nutrient issues follow.

Veg for as long as you did but in bigger pots, try 5 gallons, then you will see bigger plants with more buds!👍

There’s no fixed rule, because there’s always variables . A lot of people say transplant every 3 weeks. I’m a lazy grower so I usually go from solo cups straight to 5 gallons.😁

When I was transplanting more regularly I would solo cup for about three weeks, then 1 gallon for about four weeks, then 5 gallon for about four weeks, then flip to flower.

That said, there’s always an exception and there’s always those pesky variables. I have a lot going on in my veg room right now so I’m pressed for space. I had a few plants out-growing their solo cups but I didn’t have space to put them in 5 gallons but I did have space to put them in 3 gallons. It bugged me because I know I will have to transplant them all one more time, but that’s what I had to do. 😐

I have a feeling your next grow is gonna be so much easier and at least a little more productive.👍✌️

Week 9 bigger plants. Man these ones take up space. There doing good though still green 💚
Cups are 3 weeks. Doing fine. I'm gonna up pot next week after pay day. I'm gonna use bigger buckets this time.

Buds are still drying. Been 8 days there not ready. Keeping humidity between 60% and 70%

Cut a bud off one of the plants. We ran out of green. It gets you high and there was a little flavor. The 8 days drying at a higher rh helped the taste. The buds had seeds though. But all and all i would say I'm doing better. This was my 3rd time trimming and I got a bunch to do still.

Buds look fine to me fella. I don't take off all the really sugered tiny leaf. I think your solos look really
healthy. What size buckets you getting? I got 2 7gal plastic in the 3x3 damn near take up the tent.
Menards has 3.5 gal buckets. I'm grabbing a bunch payday. I'm trying to find out how big a pot you really need. I have a stockpile of promix but 6 5gal buckets would clear me out.

Looks great Dad! Gets you high is a good starting point! : ) I’ll bet you get a nice nose after that stuff gets a proper dry and cure. ✌️

Ok so 4 weeks for the smaller plants. Up potted them.
9 weeks for bigger plants. Had to water them before I got buckets. So I'm gonna let them dry out a little and put them in bigger buckets.
Veg area is full.
I wish Menards would expand into the south. Or Blaine's Farm and Fleet. I fucking hate Home Depot (the Walmart of hammers).
