could just be urban legend but i always gone by '1 gallon per month'... i grew in a small space for some time and I have to say it's a pretty accurate assessement at least growing in individual buckets (Basically this means if you've been in a 3 gallon pot for 3 months its time to transplant.) using this rule of thumb if you're going straight to 12/12 you should aim for ~11 plants in each tote.
don't underestimate how "wide" these plants like to get even if just growing a small single branch. I'd go with 10 on the first run see how it works, you'll be able to tell after harvest if you need to adjust based on root concentrations in your medium.

I had a bad vision of you grabbing it by the base of the stem, shaking the planter free.. then working fingers into the roots trying to break everything apart.. is why I figured I'd mention it so you didn't have a nasty surprise.

thanks but nah...i figured since they only vegged 3 weeks and and now only have like 6 weeks or so of flower ill be ok .....and i forgot to mention instead of the 22 gallon totes i went with my green 45 gallon totes and they are pretty deep...so deep it took three 56.6 litre bags of soil to fill each tote..what im interested in now though is how i saw a guy scrog 3 plants and it looked like he had a million freakin colas i swear.....i gotta learn that method!!

Take your time, and do plenty of reading.. SCRoG is pretty straight-forward though, shouldn't be that much of an issue & good luck!

thanks man....scrogging does seem to be str8 forward ...im only confused on the part where im like..."how do they set the wire net above the plants without it falling"...but hey ill def find the best way to do that

string, some chicken wire, or a net.. and would highly recommend you frame it in 1x2s and then hang from the ceiling with hooks and a light chain of some sort

1 more thing not to sound dumb but when you say 1x2s ...you are meaning the size of the wholes in the chicken wire or what???

1x2 = the board dimensions that you will use to create the frame for the screen or material you use, and to mount hooks for the chain to connect to so you can hang it from the ceiling

well guys this grow has taken a twist!!!! 1 of my totes with 24 trees in it ....i got curious before i thought things through and placed a poultry net over the tote and attempted a scrog and realized i should scrog with less plants and veg longer ...but instead i ended up chopping the hell out of 1 o my 24 trees in that tote ...sooooooooo i pulled that whole thing up i heard the roots crackling but whats done is done so now here comes the big question for me...is it true what they say..will the roots from that 1 damaged plant rot and harm my other 23 in that paticular tote?? only time will tell....ill keep this updated for everyone that feels its gonna kill the whole tote

Are the roots completely broken off, or just damaged/partially broken? You could hit it with a high phosphorus-based fungicide which -can- treat and/or prevent root rot. If you don't control it and it develops, it can and will more than likely spread like wildfire. Highly recommended you do something to act on this before shit hits the fan and you lose all of it. If you do end up losing the whole pot.. -DO NOT- re-use the pot before soaking the pot in at least a 10% bleach mix for 30+ minutes. I'd go an hour to be safe. After you do that, if you wish to re-use the soil, sterilize it in the oven on baking sheets before anything new goes into it. Another bonus to the phosphate-based fungicide... it'll break down into harmless phosphates and may even help boost resistance to the disease.
Let me know what's going on, will do my best to help you with this one so you don't get the pot potentially nuked by a proverbial pain in the ass.

No damage. You'll see. In fact a friend did something like this years ago with bagseed and the plants ended up looking great. Took a bread knife and simply cut big plugs with a plant in each. Planted them like big peat plugs. A week later they were hauling ass faster than ever before. Roots aren't as sensitive as people make it out. Face it - they can pry a rock apart if the tip enters a crevice in the rock.
