The Home Grower's Thread

If I ever come across a pile of freebie seeds, I'd love to do a bunch of single cola plants.

Ramberto, are you doing everything in those 5-7g pots? My big ones are fun, but they're bigger than normal and I think I've been underfeeding them and kinda want to go back to more/smaller plants next year. Last year I was growing in 20g pots and that worked out pretty well, plus it makes flush super easy.
 
I'm gonna clean up the cords this weeknd and remove them from the tent floor.

I've successfully done some really good solo cup plants that grew super dense.
 
I think it'd be really fun to setup an automated solo cup grow.
 
Looking for ideas on what do do with last years buds.
Got about 6oz. Been stored in jars, in a closet..
 
Root bound is actually okay, you just have to increase your water/feed frequency. Lotta indoor growers like 2g pots and let them get super root bound and feed up to 6x a day.

TBH, I am not doing much for fert. This was an extra seed that I just dropped outside to see what would happen

def not root bound in a 7 gal aerobag

Did it have full sun? When did you plant it? Lots of Nitrogen before flower will get you a big plant if your timing is right and your Sun is strong.
 
Indoors for 2 weeks then transferred to 7 gal bag

Sun wasnt strongest for first 2 weeks of outside life because I wasn't sure about burn rate (shouldn't concern myself in the future)

Full sun for the last many weeks.

Started growth 7-15ish

My canopy grow is a different story ;)

Same genetics as what HH was just growing? It happens. My first season outdoors I drop a bunch of seeds in an egg carton... out of the ~25 only 8 sprouted. Out of the 8, 3 of them got Napolean complex a month into growing. I decided to keep them just to see what would happen. They made it to the end. Harvest was crappy. They never really looked good during their entire life cycle and their root ball at the end was still the same size and shape of the red plastic cup they came from. Weird.
 
yummmmmm

so i took like a 8 week break

i smoked some green and couldnt even enjoy it (flavor) all I could experience was nasty smoky irritation down my throat/lungs

so i did a dab, and bam wowsa was lit for like 3 hrs offa 1 tiny dab, tasted great and didnt irritate me at all

smoking bud is for neanderthals. your lungs and throat will thank you for switching to dabs.
 
So silly question...

I use cococoir/perlite as a grow medium, but I treat it like soil, and water when needed. It's technically hydroponic but I just use it regular and have no issues.

Some people water their plants every day multiple times....how does that work? When does the plant get the dry out period?

Hey byke... sorry I missed this. Not sure what you meant by doing everything. Basically I started out late this season and my clones didn't get a chance to grow under my indoor HID as the last couple seasons. They basically went from clone > solo cups for ~3 weeks under florescent > #7 pots and they went outside mid-June. I am a follower of the clackamas coot soil mix and Jeremy @ build a soil. Use the same soil mix for my veggies too. I usually treat them with compost tea every 2 weeks or so and also do top soil amendment ~3 times during the season (once a month generally during the life cycle). Other than that once July hits its almost daily watering with just tap water from the garden hose.

I too think 20 gallon is the sweet spot size. I will do x6 next season in 20 gallon smart pots. :)
