Woodsmantoker, what to say.
Thank you so very much..
Over the past week of learning everything I have from this bible of a thread is not only that I'm going to SCROG (second one) but how. 600W white rhino, 8-9gal. pots, 4 plants, soil. Yes crazy sized pots when you think of 600W only and room 4x4x7. I am going to attempt my own V-scrog ....we shall see how it goes. This is purely a test to see what sort of difference going from 4 x 5 gal. (7 week soil veg....filled up canopy to 85-90%) to almost double sized pots for 8 weeks veg.
There are a few reasons for my choice: white rhino is extremely 'indica' with regard filling the screen through stretch extremely slowly (relative to most). Also I am going V-shaped so hopefully this may give the girls a little more room for expansion given the extra veg time. The third reason was partly from a little discussion some 40 or 50 pages back maybe about four massive plants in 10 gal. pots. So I mixed this idea (using 10 gals not filling fully), with v-shape, with your very own LST guided 'scraining' (I just right clicked on that word and added it to dictionary) and am trying to measure light distribution and get as even a canopy as possible.
Hopefully, putting it all together this should work out better dry-yield-wise than my last 1.1 pound but although it is the yield I am using to compare results, the love of learning from experience compels me to at least try this oversized pot method. At this point I am aware that the root ball is highly unlikely to amass to more than the size of the original 5 gal pots but have read that putting in too big a pot may be a bad idea....stale soil was mentioned....woodsman from your experience would you deem this to be a myth?
I've just re-potted about 4 days ago to these monster pots and they are responding well to LST pics soon hopefully (no good camera as of yet). Any chance of an analysis of my amalgamation of parts of this thread? Do you think this process as described is viable? And final question, I know that this depends on a few things like how close light is and how quickly the girls drink, but approximately how often would you estimate needing to water them in 10 gal. pots? I gave them 1 litre with root juice mix and 3 litres of 6.4-6.5ph water slowly afterwards and got good run-off ph. This watering was 2 days ago. The tops look dry but not totally 'moistless', should I follow the finger in three inches idea or let the roots strech by watering less often by a few hours for example? Lots of questions, hope it's not too much!
This whole process is exciting for me and I think the reason why you are so popular woodsman is because that passion you have is still there and comes through in your discussions/advice/critique etc. Thank you again, I +rep'd you on one of the first pages and it hasn't let me do it again since! Seems your being robbed of some well earned respect!
