o ic
its the same thing you got going on for your current grow.
but thats not a single cola grow though, im sure you had other colas on the plant.
i was under the impression you did that placing 2-4 plants per square foot and growing a SINGLE COLA. i was like holy shit
im curious, how much weight do you make your way?

Nope, that's the whole plant. I'm holding it from the trunk.

Why isn't it a single cola plant?

They are given 1 square foot each... 2-4 per foot isn't possible with 5gal buckets.

i did not realize you were using the entire 5 gallon bucket, for a single cola. sorry
i would never had thought, excuse me, but isnt that a bit overkill for just one cola?

Not at all, they are pretty rootbound by the time they've finished. A bigger rooting area allows more growth and nutrient uptake. Also a bigger pot size allows for more soil activity, the organic matter has to decompose, the bacteria and fungus have more room to colonize, everything is happier if space isn't limited. The soil is alive, that's what feeds the plant.

It's different in hydro setups, but rooting area still allows more growth.

I think I got hydroponic results, with the soil flavor. I'm overall satisfied with my setup, I hope to be pulling down a harvest by New Years... I'm active in my journal. :peace:

beautifully done.
i know this depends on many factors, but what kind of yeild do you usually get per square foot?

That bud was 47 grams, They average between 30-45 grams per plant, depending on strain. So 30-45 grams per square foot. 270-450 per m^2 that's with 600W lights though. I imagine the results would be better with 1000Ws.

That other cola is one of those buds, they're all sensi star. Idk how many were in there, I'm guessing 60ish (it was over a year ago) the dates a april 2007, I harvested on 4/20, planned it out so it would work that way :mrgreen: There was a week flush after the pics taken on 4/14, and the cola pic is after harvest.
