In regards to root space, you would have to try really hard to have "Too much".

Idk if anyone will see this, but here is a video of me taking a dab out of my custom oil rig. It has an 18-hole custom bombilla perc with a recycler to put any water splash back into the main base for water, if you didn't know what a recycler was. There are a lot cooler ones out there but there isn't any with bombilla percs, great for oil, so so for flowers. Only about 7-8inches tall I think, and 3inches wide maybe. Dope piece from a private glass blower from the East Coast. Dab away.

Why do you have the 5 gal ones set so far down in the buckets?Note to self: Tested clone chamber to see if I could control the humidity, easy. Might try cloning in the next few days to see if I can do it with the stuff I have, might have to get something different later on if rock wool doesn't work. First feeding for all six plants today, the 4 younger platos will just get fish emulsion, the two older plants will get fish emulsion and 300ppm of micro (if the micro comes today.) Topping went smoothly on the younger plato I tried it on, getting two new tops. The one I'm LSTing is also growing great, plan on having a ton of tops on that one. Waiting to plant the Autos and 8Ball Kush beans until veg light comes (says Tuesday but I hoping it will be early.) EDIT: Only watered three of the four younger platos with the fish emulsion water, the more stretchy one wasn't in need of water. The three took 1/3-1/2 gallon each. Waiting for Micro to water the older Plato plant, going to wait to water the other older plant, she won't need watering for a few days still. And they weren't kidding about how bad fish emulsion smells. ADD: Family shot before starting fed. EDIT #2: Micro came today so I fed the older Plato with a gallon of water with Micro, forgot to add fish emulsion too -face palm-. The water tested 280ppm before hand and it was 560-580ppm after so about 300ppm feed. Start small and then add.
Just asking, it doesn't make any sense to me.
It blocks light, blocks air flow.

Yeah I suppose. Just trying to save a dime on dirt is all.

I just didn't transplant good enough. I always try to cover some stem to lower it down, then I end up doing it too much because I think I would over do it. I did the same with a couple of the 2g Smart Pots but idk you can tell. It's a pain to water too...

To be honest I screwed up putting them in 5g buckets to begin with, waste of dirt.

Honestly I probably could, I shouldn't be doing much more LSTin anyways, I'll just super crop any stretch during flowering. Maybe a hot blade would be easier and less mess then a jig saw.You got a hack saw or jig saw?
Cut off the fucking extra plastic man.

Why 'screwed up'?
Extra room never hurts IMO.
But now the REAL story comes out, LOL.

Lol, well when I took the plants out of the 2g smart pots they were in, I barely saw any roots on the sides or bottom, they had plenty of time in the pots, let alone would only have to move them to a 3g smart pot to finish flowering without getting rootbound, but after they were out the buckets were filled with dirt and I just went through with what I planned. Like you said more space isn't going to hurt.

Don't be skeered bro, a few bucks worth of soil or another day to go to the store is more than worth the comfort of being sure you have enough room and the return.

Hell yeah that's true. I just don't like working with the large pots if I know the roots aren't getting to the bottom and I could be causing root rot. I just got to watch the weight of the bucket and the plant. I'm always second guessing myself, got to just go with the flow. That's how my CFL grows turned out so good, didn't spend near as much time and effort with them, let them do their thing. I did get a horrible yield and never transplanted with no drainage in my pots, but it was really good tasting and smelling pot. I think the natural way is the best, doing it outdoors. Never done outdoors, I really can't with all the ditch weed around my parts. Rough estimate within 1 mile of my house alone there are hundreds of ditch weed plants, mostly all left over from the hemp days, we have the best soil.Don't be skeered bro, a few bucks worth of soil or another day to go to the store is more than worth the comfort of being sure you have enough room and the return.

I have my autos growing in 3 Gallon air pots with super soil under 600w hps. Super soil contains Bat guano 1-10-1, kelp meal, dolomite lime, azomite, dry molasses, and just a 1\2 teaspoon of Bat guano Mexican 10-1-1 don't need a lot of Nitrogen. I harvested some DANK Critical Jack auto 2.5 weeks ago and some red poison which I will NEVER grow again the buds was so pretty bright purple with red tent NO GREEN AT ALL IN THE BUD and the smell was wonderful but the high was complete SHIT. I will never grow weed just for the color again.
