10 weeks in and things are looking hopeless

Finish them out. You're growing method is fine. You basically did a SOG. Larger containers would have been better but you can do just fine in 1/2 - 1 gallon pots. Those containers are smaller than I would use. I've grown 7ft plants in 2 liter pots and 2 ft plants in 2.5" x 2.5" nursery pots so you don't necessarily need large pots to grow good sized plants. It gets tricky with proper feeding and keeping them healthy but it can be done.

You did pretty good for what you were doing in those 12 oz containers. Definitely don't harvest early.

I’m thinking those are clones in pics?

Clones or i figured he just lolipopped all the nodes off.

Not clones and didn't lollipop either. I think the small pots kept the plant from getting too adventurous.

...and brown and purple and yellow lol.

Thanks. I think some of them are done.

Next time I'd go for bigger pots and less plants.

I'd have topped those a couple of times and pinned them to cover the surface area of the pot.

You are a fount of wisdom. The surface area of the pot lol!

Not really lol. Attached are photos of two uptopped “Ten Four” by Crickets and Cicada. Took cuts of these and put straight into flower just to see how they do without topping. I’m thinking those are clones in pics?

Wow, I wouldn't expect side nodes to shoot out like that!

Only thing I’ve done to these is removing a few of those big azz afghani type leaves during the stretch. They had no veg time, these went straight from transplant( solos to 3 gallon soil) to flip.

No veg time?? Impressive.

 

[Coldnasty]

No veg time?? Impressive.

Not to speak of, 7 days after transplant. These really stretched more than I was anticipating. Guess the Chem 4 comes through strong. I have one that’s more compact but still was impressive growth considering. Lots of vigor, high hopes.

Did I mention I'd use a bigger pot, like a lot bigger.

Looks good.

When you say tomorrow starts week 11, is that from the flip of the timer or after preflowers are seen, etc.?

TIA

sure did.

Had to go back and look at pictures. I was wrong. I didn't actually have preflowers on all plants until 27th of Dec. So i guess i'm actually only on week 7.

Thx. I just flipped some 2/12 but already sexed them.... so was just wondering what you meant.

Week 7 is just barely in the range for plants to be ready for speedy genetics. I'd let them go longer if you can stand it...2-3 weeks. All depends on how your trichomes are looking. Have you taken a scope to them yet?

Cool setup though, are you planning on keeping this style of growing?

 

[Rwomen]

I will post more pictures if anyone wants to see close ups or give advice. Leaning toward chopping. Tomorrow starts week 11.
Known issues: Cold nights, Root bound, starving, lots of bananas, seeds here and there on most plants.

Very cool grow!
I have twelve 20 oz jars together
for my next experiment.

Yeah. Def gonna wait longer on most of them.
I don't think i will grow this way again, but if i were going to, i would make the following changes:
Make the watering process more efficient.
Use the same genetics across the board. As you can see, each of these random bagseed plants reacted differently to the same feeding/watering regimen.

Jars? As in glass jars with no holes in the bottom?

Your question was very helpful. Made me realize i miscalculated. Thanks! I was thinking these plants were a bit behind schedule, which made me think they might never finish due to all the stress on them. But maybe they will finish...maybe...they...will.
