Thats a nice setup! He's spot on when he talks about having a bunch of smaller plants under a light instead of growing big trees to hit good yield #'s.

I can't do that and stay in compliance of my state medical marihuana laws though. I like what Oregon is doing where they don't limit plant count, instead they dictate how much square footage you can use. Makes more sense to me

I try to go big and have a lot of plants. :) My county is the same. It's based on square footage. 10% of your liveable space. So the bigger the house you have/the bigger you can grow. I think there's a max limit though. The cool thing is garages and detached sheds/structures are not factored into "liveable space" so you can technically have the sq. footage +garage/shed. I don't push it though. I'm at about 125 sq ft. and I could go up to 200 if needed. My biggest problem at this point is electricity. At 4000 watts plus T5's, fans, ac's etc etc My house is pretty maxed unless I get an electrician out here.

I've got nearly the exact situation. 3600 watts of HID plus a T5 fixture. I wouldn't want to expand any beyond that... but I would LOVE to be able to grow a shit ton of smaller plants as opposed to the 48 that I am limited to.

What size pots would you use? I go back and forth all the time about what yields better vs. what is a bigger pain in my ass. I'm still not sure what the answer is. I've definitely got my biggest yields off big pots/big plants. But at what cost (time vegging being a big one.)

The last Grateful Breath didn't make it. It broke above the soil line with tap root up. never had this happen before but seen others have this problem. Not a big deal but at least I know what I have to do with these beans. I'll have much better germ rate with them. Man I need to get some pics its killing me lol. Hopefully soon they are looking good tho vegging much faster than the mom even tho they're only seedlings. Cant tell yet but it doesn't seem like Jo dominated over these well cookie breeds well but should know more as time goes on if they are OGKB dominate or not

I'm running an organic soil right now. Conventional wisdom is that you don't want to go much below a 5 gallon container, so I'd be kinda limited unless I changed things up. If I were using synthetics I wouldn't be afraid to rock a 1 or 2 gallon pot and get a nice sea of green going.

I've considered building raised beds indoors where I could have 80+ gallons of soil in one bed and plant a swath of smaller plants right in there (blu mats taking care of the watering). State law/plant counts have kinda squashed that for me, but if things ever change I think that's the direction I'll go.

I'm not limited by plant numbers and did mess with sea of green style in ROLS and I say MEH... Like StOw says anything under 5 gal is silly. I like to flower as many as possible as small as possible but less than 4 weeks veg just hasn't ever worked too great really. The SOG went alright yielded about the same but an infinity more work and challenges so from the time is money angle just wasn't for me...

Totally agree. It happens to us all after years of doing this. I had the worst 2 runs I've ever had the last 2 times. I chalk it up to getting complacent. Everything has gone smooth for so long You skip a pest spray or you don't fully bleach down the tent before the new run goes in. The little things like that will add up and get you.

I'm back on beast mode though.Let's do this!

Also recovering from some sub par runs. Life happened lol. Back on form though.

Man! I swear the laziness and complacency were contagious! I won't lie. I was simply being lazy and untidy. First time I didn't clean out all tents like a madman. Just stuck the next crop in to gain a few days on the harvest.

And I payed for it. Nugs are still good enough most people would never know. But I know, and I can't be havin that!

Took the extra few days this time to really clean the tents, bleaching, vacuuming, dusting inside and outside the lights, checking ducts for air leaks etc etc etc.

Bob's back! :D

A couple quick things.

I'm finally using my @Flaming Pie watering wand do-hickey. Maybe the single best innovation in my garden yet. My 400GPH pump works perfect and I get a full on shower out of the wand that is 3' + 10' of hose. Thanks again pie!

@stowandgrow has given me great advice and links on EWC teas etc. Just gave my first EWC foliar. :)

Also I'm gonna do a lil experiment. I usually put plants in 5-7 gallons when flowering. 4 giant multi-topped plants per 600 watt light. The way this veg run has gone I somehow acquired about 18 extra clones (im not complaining). But I simply won't have room for that many. So I'm gonna do 6 plants per 600 watt light in 3 gallon pots. I will be very curious to see the difference between yields.

Pie would win the contest lol her ten is petty damn clean. I keep mines ok but that's changing. I think that lazy bug jumped ona few of us but we finally plucked it off so we all should be back to killin it!!!

So glad the Grateful Breaths are vigorous no slow growth so not OGKB dominate in that way but looks are very OGKB. Cant wait for these to get bigger. They'll get uppotted next weekend
