2x15 Gallon or 1x30 Gallon for biggest yield?

[Sigourney_GG4]

Bigger pot for bigger yield, I get that BUT what your thoughts on the title question.

If I do 2x15 gallon, one will get pole position in the sunniest spot on my balcony until around midday.

2 and put em on wheels, you can rotisserie the both.
2 also, one gets I'll, the other isn't. Better chance to the finish line.
Good luck

Yep, I’ve gone with 2 15 gallon bags…I like having a backup girl and recon it’s gotta yield more!

Bigger the roots, bigger the fruits.

Double the bags, double the buds! It was a tough choice but I had all I needed for a second 15 gallon grow so just went with that.

For sure. I get it. You use what you got.

A plant in a 15gal pot will get as big as is movable for me

Ordered plant dolly’s from Amazon but I think will have a favourite, and give that one the best morning sun.
Can’t wait to share pics in a month or 2.

Always more than 1 plant at a time outdoors for me.

First off I like multiple strains each year. Smoking the same bud all the time and never having a change would get old fast imo. But there is also the inner concern for the need for a backup plant just in case something catastrophic happens to one of them.

Next year I will do different strains…if I can get, I’d like GG#4, WonderWoman and White widow. But for this season I ended up doing 3 GG#4 in 15 gallon bags and each are on a plant caddy so I can move them around to chase the sun.

Your trellising looks like mine

You schooled me! Only difference is mine are in the pots. They are such a help when it comes to training.
At the moment I’m freaking out cause I recon the girls may grow taller than my balcony screen, which is 6 foot.
I’m using the trellises to try and train the branches out rather than up but there’s only so much they can be pushed before the tension is too much.
Last 30 days they have grown 2.5 feet. In total they are 4 foot from the ground (pots are 1 foot). There’s still 3 weeks of veg to go before the flower stretch. Thank fuck I didn’t go with a 30 gallon bag!

Supercropping is a great way to control height .It seems awful in theory but it works really well and doesn't hurt the plant ,rolling branches between your fingers until pliable and bending that branch over to a horizontal position.Start now and make them wide instead of tall .Be sure to put tie downs because they pop back up in one day.GL

Thanks Buck…I’ve supercropped the tallest girl as a test for results and a learning experience. It scared the shit out of me, the first branch I did split a bit so I taped it up and tied it in place from above and below. The other 3 branches bent well and I have them supported (see pic).

Try setting a cloth pot on a five gal bucket. Just add airstones. It will win!imo!

They heal right up.I really had to pinch and bend this WW almost every day to keep it under 7 ft.

monstercropping is good too, my 14 inch plant is over 2 ft wide.

WTF is monstercropping? Sounds brutal.

Taking clones from flowering plants.Takes a long time to revegetate and makes a wild bush.Stardog has lots of examples in his journals.

Ok…not so brutal but not for me and my limited space. So far I’ve topped, FIMed, LST and supercropped, I recon that’ll do me, being a first grow. Thanks for all your help!
