Hi.
Newbie grower here. So I got some of my fem seedlings started (super sour og, farm cheese) I have space for only 4x 18L buckets. My questions are
1) I was thinking of planting 3 plants (30 Days old) in one 18L bucket and flipping. Would that work? If not, why not? Root entanglement? Root bound? Out of whack nutes? It's a soil grow.

2) Planting in 5L pots at day 14 from seed and flipping. I can only keep the light on for 13 hour max so it's either 13/11. Or 13hr on, 2 hrs off, 2 hrs on and 7 off. Would that cause hermie? I don't mind hermie btw.

3)Planting in 1.5L pots after 14 days from seed, vegging for 20 days (will be moving them inside and outside for sun to photoperiod 20/4). Then planting in either 18L buckets (3 plants in 1bucket) or a plant in 5L pot.

U making this too complicated. Just put each plant in a 5 gallons pots. Individually. And do 12/12 light schedule. Good luck

But then I can only do 4-5 plants. With no veg. There root system wont even stretch that much to utilize all 5 gallons.
