Fabric pots for the win. Grow one side by side easy to tell the difference.

That will be great! That's almost 4 cf..... I think you're gonna like the results of that!
Does anybody experience Sulfur deficiencies? I'm pretty surprised I even have it so I topdressed with mullein for long term and fed a gypsum tea for a fast acting fix. Only one plant was showing it hard so maybe it's sulfur hungry?
Gypsum tea
3 cups water
1tsp gypsum
Next morning
1 cup gypsum solution
1 gal water
Feed.

Hey guys, i have an updated pic of everything growing, if i may ask would you suggest me trying to scrog these ladies ? Im confused as how to manage all the different sizes, should i possibly scrog ? then just use box's to lift the plants accordingly ? Dont mean to be going off topic but any help would be appreciated. Peace

Do you have access to tomato cages? I find those very useful in maintaining an even canopy. Anything that grows beyond the top rung of the tomato cage just gets tucked under.
Like this:
Edit: Your plants look great btw!

Thank you man, ill definitely take a look at some tomato cages, im sure i have seen them around, im planning on using as much of the 3x3 as i can though, maybe i should use a tomato cage for the church & just let the rest grow naturally ? Peace man the plants are happy !

I think the one on the right might not be a nice lady, sad though, the side branches and stem are all purple the genetics look extremely interesting, i have probably 2 more seeds left of the same genetic which should last another year or two but yeah just going to pull it and transplant the second biggest out of the rest. Tomato cage search this weekend Thank you ! : )

I hope she's nice after all. I have a couple strains that have purple-ish stems that don't represent any type of concern.... The stems are meaty so they can take an aggressive super crop, which I like very much 
And the herb is dank, so who knows.
My growing style is all about super cropping about a dozen different strains at different stages and ages to keep my canopy even in a perpetual garden. Check out the super cropping link in my sig if you're interested in seeing some SC posts. It works great to keep a canopy low and wide without the necessity of screens.

End of the day the differentiation is awesome, definitely got to be something dank with a stem like that man : ) even the male smells dank lol but yeah in the morning its going down... im going to transplant that smaller middle plant in my pic i posted which is apparently a diesel hybrid, i can already see a female calyx forming & the smells just gives it away.
Ill definitely check out that link in your sig bro, appreciate the help, much respect

I've tried searching through this whole thread (200+ pages is a lot on a phone, even in general) but can't find the answer I'm looking for.
For no till, what's the smallest you could successfully pull it off with a fabric planter? I've seen some say 15 gallons is about the smallest that will work, is that true?

Not true. I use #10 plastic buckets which are apx 7.5 gallons, or 1cf and I run no-till.

I'm going to attempt to run a no till grow with 3, 3 gallon fabric planters. Do you think they're too small?
st0wandgrow

I'm not sure. A lot of knowledgeable folks claim that 5 gal is the smallest you want to go.
Only one way to find out though....

I'm hoping they will be! Either way, I'll find out and post the results

how long do you vege for stow?
I go with 12 or 15 gallon smartpots, and I like a lil room for topdressing. I could probably go smaller, but 9 of the 12/15 gallon pots fills my room up about perfectly

i'd have a couple trepidations about running 5 gallon pots with a no-till, BUT.... course if you go straight into them from cloning/seedling, it'd be fine, course my strains are some stretchy sativas, so I like a lil legroom for them, plus I vege for a lil bit too

I think you might have problems with only 3 gallons, gotta remember that a three gallon fabric pot doesn't actually hold three gallons (I know, it's stupid)
I'd go at LEAST a five gallon, no-tills need a lil extra room.
Ideally a ten gallon would be perfect or better yet a fifteen

2-3 weeks in a small container, then 2-3 more in the big bucket (strain dependent).
