checked my notes-good eye!:cool: they are 1-gallon airpots (equivalent to .8 gallons) plus i verified this by checking the color of the bottom base. the 2-gallon are equivalent to 1.2 gallons of medium. running an experiment right now so everything i run first is purposefully starting out smaller, and then i'm going to see how things improve on each successive run. there isn't much difference between the amount of medium in the two--must have been why i still decided on running with the 1-gallon...not sure, :confused: however, root-bound plants are not issues in these pots, feeding can be tricky though.

I've always heard bigger roots = bigger yields....my current grow I'm using the 5 gall. Eqv. and the plant looks like she is going to yield nicely....top cola got so heavy I needed to support it from falling over....I just got in two 7 gall. Eqv. Air-pots for my next grow....can't wait to see how the plants perform in them.

Picked up my seeds at the PO yesterday....

Sannie tossed in an extra pack (for being a member on another forum).....

These 4 beauties are in 3 gal equivalent airpots. Hoping 3-4 zips per plant.

I was running 3 gal hydro buckets and was getting roughly 3 per plant.

NICE, silver fields and boudica?! Now THATS'S a freebie I want! damnit, maybe I should make a small order.... Sannie's freebies are awesome. I have a serious problem...
----UPDATE----
incase anyones curious, my runty looking small greenish SP beans, three out of five have germed, (took approx. 36 hrs) one of the two remaining looks like it wants to I was in a hurry, Didn't check the madscientistXjackberry beans, but I suspect they both popped, they looked big and healthy.

Is there any noticeable difference in growth when looking at the plants ?

What's the deal with SFxB ? I don't even see it on his site anywhere - either as a freebee or as a regular seed for sale ? Good genetics ? What is it ? Sativa/Indica ?

I only know them from lurking on his site (all the time waiting for new strains) , the silverfields is a great sativa mix (killing fieldsXsuper silver haze, and the boudica is an eskobar project, exodus cheeseXsanta maria planck X C99. I don't know what process eskobar had for the boudica, but considering it's his final product I can only assume it's pretty impressive. I'm fairly certain it's primarily a sativa hybrid. Course ya never know with new phenos.
You are right though, I never saw that cross offered as a freebie, maybe it was a small production or an "accident" type of thing. I want it though...

silverfields is on my sannie list, but we've talked about me and my problems before.....
pretty sure I need a 12 step program....
could be worse, I guess, there are many worse things to be addicted to other than growing great herb.

i've got a silverfields about three weeks away from being finished...if she makes it that long! i learned a lot from her, needs more food than i was giving her and she is suffering from a major deficiency that happened like overnight for me (more like it was there and this newb missed it for a long time). no more fan leaves because they all started yellowing (not a N deficiency) and then got super crunchy and then fell off. even through all this, her buds still look good. she stretched on me a bit more than i was wanting, so she has a lot of popcorn buds.
spaaacecowboy, i'll give ya' a smoke report if she makes it :-)

wow-that's what my goal is when i figure out what i want to grow. i have 5-gallon (two of them) equivalent airpots waiting for the day. i also have some 3-gallon too...so maybe when i figure out what i want to grow big, i'll run two, one each in a 3- and a 5-gallon airpot. those are beautiful! looks yummy!

did you figure out what the problem was? ALL of the fan leaves dropped?

yep, here she is in all her sadness:
DSCN3734.JPG DSCN3736.JPG

she started out great. veg no problem. the first two weeks of flower no problem. and then, leaves started showing a lot of spots that were yellow/rusty maybe? and then the leaves rapidly started dying off and you can see what's left. even the lesser leaves have started dying off too. early research to diagnose her problem made me think it was a phosphorous deficiency and i tried to resolve it but too late.

ETA: obviously :-) i never did figure out what was wrong.

spaacecowboy, i wouldn't be using a pop can to measure cola size for sure!! i wish! :P in fact, due to it being on the smaller size, we'll just not talk about it...(: instead, ;-) let's talk about...

my first run was in 3-gallon airpots, and i'm definitely seeing a difference in amount of fruit versus the smaller pots. i knew i was going to like this though...i so wish i had done these in a 5-gallon! the 1-gallon and the 2-gallon airpots are easier for me to lift than these were...i sure do wish i had some more of this smoke left:
DSCN3034.JPGDSCN3145.JPG second picture shows two from seed on right with two clones on left. also ran three clones in 1-gallon airpots. it was GOOD! i am still kicking myself for not keeping a clone as a mother. because i'm reminiscing about the long-gone smoke, here is a few more pictures:

Sativa dominants like silverfields are much easier to grow in organic mixes. Excessive P can lock out N. I wouldn't even attempt to grow a pure sativa in a non organic setup, hybrids are still quite challenging in their own right.

SF is an excellent cross though, I found some really good plants in mine. Hard to choose which I'm going to keep.

i'm in soil, using earth juice products, and i'm still having problems. i plan on running silverfields again (if i like it, of course) in a 2-gallon instead as i'm sure that will help. i'm feeding on the light side of things, what's your feeding schedule like with them?
