How many oz's do you get per gal?

[HolyGhost23]

I like to use the 1 oz per gallon rule... but in reality how many oz's is possible in one gallon of soil?..IE whats the most you ever got out of a 1 gal pot?

pot size has little to do with yeild, small pots you water more often and large pots you water less often

you could pull 2oz's in a 1 gal pot with the right setup, I have pull 5 oz's in a 2 gal pot

i thought root ball size to plant size was relative..... are you saying the plant could be much larger than the root ball.. i guess just denser?

 

[jacksthc]

1 oz per gallon rule is a good rule but yer the root mass would be denser with larger plants in a small pots
if the root mass gets to dence it can cause root bound and affect the plants heath so you have to be carefull

As a general rule, plant size and root-ball size are related to each other. With that being said - it is also true that a plant won't waste energy growing a root-ball any bigger then it has to.

In other words, a hungry, thirsty plant will grow a bigger root-ball - while a well fed, well watered plant will grow a somewhat smaller root-ball. That's the way I understand it. Perhaps someone would care to chime in with a technical explaination.

Simple .....the more SPACE a plant can EVOLVE in below the more energy it can put into the power plant above........yes.....

And DWC is a great example of this. Huge plant, small root zone.

You can also run small pots when you use coco. I just harvested a 6 ounce plants in a 2 gallon pot of coco. Fed 6 times per light cycle on a drip system.

More roots = more fruits

Fabric pots offer an opportunity to go smaller because the roots are more dense.

10 -16 zips per 5 gallon, DWC.... 1 plant. so that comes out to 2 - 3.2 per gal.

3.5 gallon pots ...coco myco+ compost... 6.5 ft tall 4 wide...11_14 oz per plant

i have a crop growing, scrog. i want input on it ASAP, wheres the best place to post

Some of the guys in the solo cup comp have been getting crazy yields from such a small root ball. Check out the thread and see what they're doing in there. Might give you some insight.

To me this is almost like guessing yeild for somebody there's so many variables ......and right when I think I'm getting this kinda thing figured out il see one of these crazy solo cup plants yielding impressively ......I think this another case of genetics myself but like I said I have no idea I've seen some serious freaks of nature that were very impressive compared to root mass
