how many seeds you would pop on June 1 for a 200 gallon pot of organic coco/soil? I want to maximize yield, but I don’t want to overgrow the pot and have nute/ph issues. I’ve got a-dub (Star dawg x adub) and east coast star dawg (ecsd x stardawg) from greenpoint, fems. I’ve never popped seeds this late, just wondering how big they’ll get. Also have some seedlings sprouting their second nodes soon and some wedding cake clones that just woke up, so will have to figure that out as well.

Btw, I’m between 38-39 deg N on a sw slope, norcal sierras, very hot n dry, windy, irrigating with drip 2x day.

Thanks

Wow, what date did you germ and transplant? What strain? Also, what's your latitude/climate like?
Small clones planted end of May, few different commercial strains but all were root bound, I’d think seed would fill pot faster as it has a “tap” root whereas clones don’t. I’ve noticed seed will go deeper all the way down and even thru the bottom of smart pot where’s clones roots seem to spread out all the way to the sides of the pot but not as deep as a seedling.

I like to grow em big, I’m aiming for 10lbers this year with 300 gallon.

Beautiful...Are those companion plants supposed to help the girls?
Yes and no. Alot of them are nitrogen fixing (clover etc.) but its just a little side crop i play with, so theres a little bit over everything in there (onions chives lemon grass wildflowers etc.) i only visit once a week at most and i only feed it stuff i make off the land (fermented plant juices, weeping willow tree tea, compost teas, or activated labs) and the soil is just an accumulation of left over used indoor and whatever else i can find.

Awesome, onions and clover are great companion crops from what I hear...love the permaculture approach, I want to do that here at my home. I have some old dying pine trees and I'd love to biochar them.
