What size 5 or 2 gallon

[RealStoner420]

I have a 8 foot by 6 foot long with a thousand watt metal halide light I'm growing the famous White Widow what size buckets should I use have a total of 10 I purchased the five gallon but they seem too big thinking about the way the light spreads how much space do I really have under a Thousand Watt light 8 x 6 room mylar I'm considering growing in two gallon buckets but scared I'll less my yield

3 us gallon --15 liters is the standard size to 3 ft high in 3 months with 2 month flower

the deal is in the soil volume used the more soil the bigger the plant,

the real question is 'can you handle' the size

to my bog on the 12 week grow

I like the way you think now where n DA world do I buy 3 gallon buckets hahah

 

[OOBubblesOO]

I germinated mine in a plastic baggie with a wet paper towel and then started them in plastic water bottles with the tops cut off and holes poked in the bottom....transplanted to 2 gallon pots after about a week or so from popping and then to 5 gallon pots when they outgrew those.

All depends on how much growing room you have to work with.

Same place as you get the 5- 2 usg, or better bleed some more and get the aero pots on amazon,

if this is your first grow at this site go 3 usg keep the 5usg for moms or later grows

you will need them

All depends on how much vertical growing room you have to work with.

See I thought about that also but I didn't want to get carried away with transplanting too many times don't want to cause the flowers to go into shock only plan on visiting 3 weeks more at the most

Size of the pot should depend on the planned veg time

 

[RealStoner420]

Aint US gallon is 3,7 liters?

 

[boilingoil]

Aint US gallon is 3,7 liters?

Yes , but most pots for planting use Trade Gallons. So a 3 gal pot = 2.37 us gallons actually or 9 liters

 

[vostok]

Aint US gallon is 3,7 liters?

[vostok]

Looool

I have orderd

Protekt silica, earth juice catalyst and coco wet wetting agent from america as we dont have those in europe

The conversation chart in tsp drives me crazy

If it says 1/2 tsp then I use half ml per liter and if it says 1 tsp I use 1 ml per liter lol

 

[vostok]

Standard is 1 teaspoon(tsp) = 5 ml (milliliters) ..this could be an expensive grow

why not potting mix and organics ..cheaper too?

Yes exactly, so its (almost) 1ml per LT maybe alittle more what I add then..!

I never tryed organics as I have heard that the yield is not as big as other mineral nutrients..

Am beind yield as well thats why I never tryed organics...

 

[Bubblegum31]

I use coco as well as I have heard its better than soil and easier than hydro..

 

[vostok]

OK then ..!

 

[Bubblegum31]

OK then ..!

Hahaha thanks vostok
