Trying Monster Cropping for the first time... which pots (final) should I use? I have 3 root flowering clones (in fact one of them is revegged and branching like hell) and I'm just wondering how much soil should they have (I'll try getting a shit load of tops from them). Indoor, 400w HPS + 250w MH.
When it comes to the number of tops indoor, I guess it all depends on the strain. Right now, I have one Jack La Mota with 11 tops, LST, and yes, they are thinner than usual. I LST'ed the bitch and then accidentaly topped her (which I thought wouldn't be bad at all, since it would remove the top's dominance). Still, I have a Haze Mist (Advanced Seeds), with 10 or 11 tops also, and they look like regular buds to me. Funny, I didn't top this one, just left the "main" top a bit below the others before going 12/12 and it seems to have lost its dominance.
I mean, with some strains it ain't worth it to get all this tops but with some others it might be. This Haze Mist, surely it doesn't have 10 or 11 huge colas but it sure has 10 or 11 decent tops, that'll surely yield more than 4 bigger tops.
Watch this. My 2 little monster buds are just starting to get their legs. I cloned them off 30 days ago. They took a while to root before getting transplanted into 5 gallons of Happy Frog,(with out the bugs) mixed with 2 quarts of worm castings, 2 quarts of vermiculite and 1/2 cup of bat guano. I just bent them over and pinned them down with wire hooks, sprayed them with plain water and 2 hours later they're already looking up at the T5 lights. The one has 6 main branches that grew an inch in 24 hours and more still popping out. The other one has really fat leaves and just got transplanted last night and she grew over an inch also. I think these girls are really going to turn into something special. I've got another one that I just started off of this girl.
She's been flowering for just 20 days and growing noticably everyday. Check back in a few days. I'll have some updates...............
Well my little monsters haven't really jumped out of bucket like I was hoping, but they are making some good progress. They got their first real drink last night. I thought the soil might be a little nitrogen hot for them so I was letting them settle in a bit before watering. 
Here is one that was monstered off of last years outdoor crop and left to veg all winter, She went out on 5/5 and just tightening up and getting ready to flower now.
