just sharing my grow....dis is my 3rd grow m doing...n in small container sizes...
one pot is less than a liter n i am growing it from seed...turns out to b female ..lucky me :)..
and the other one is around one and half liter container which is from a clone ...any ways both r 4 weeks into flowering n few pistils are already shooting up....
m sharing this for people who hav space problem n hav that misconception that u need big containers n bla bla..
here is my experience ... small containers are lik da one liter ones are perfect for a grow not more than 1 n half feet tall plants.... they tend to grow slow than the one in big containers(does nt increase flowering time )...
u need to water them every day or alternate day ....
my soil mixture was
50% coco peat
40% roadside soil
10% consisting of bone, blood meal and banana peel
well they did show signs of nutrient burn a bit in the beginning but then later it stoppd ... it is lik a blessing in disguise since they r growing really bushy n lots of green matter.( just like a fat person when work out..converts fat to muscle )...but overall they look really healthy ..
anyways so yeah ppl who hav space constrains can do this ....here are some pix ..sry about the cam quality .....
will keep u updated once its harvest time :)..till then peace evryone

your plants look not bad but I'm not impressed with either container

that red container looks like something found in the trash, next time maybe clean your containers, and it helps to soak in a bleach solution to kill any unwanted bacteria

and the other is transparent (clear) which is not good, as it will promote the growth of green slim

are there drain holes on either of those containers?
 
hey thnx fr ur input...yes i can see that green algae growing...yeah i just did it as an experiment...i hav 3 3 gal pots in which m growing my clones :)...so i thought y nt give it a try...
yes there are drain holes...its vry imp since i half flush my soil twice ...once on 5th week on flowering..n once at the end week of harvest....this way i believe i gradually decrease their nutrient uptake .....
n by the way these plants which are growing are window sill grow...wher i recieve 4-5 hours of direct sunlight followed by indirect...so there is another point...yes u can do window sill grow as well provided u hav minium sunlight of 4 hours which m close to it....n i save a lot of money ;)......u can also provide it with artifical light after da sunlight goes away if u want better yield ...well i cant cuz i cant afford it :P ...peace V
 
hey ISK and hessam and Cheapgrower ...i need an advice..do i need to give more nutrients to my plants.. ie K n P... or should i just let it grow now without disturbing it ?......do cannabis plants store up excess nutrients for later use ?...cuz last time wheen i grew i over fed them during flowering stage and my grow was ruiened ...this time i dont want that ...so any input on that?...should i add more nute or i should just let it grow n look for signs of defficiency befor giving them ?..
thnx :D ...
and yeah one mor thing...wood ash increases ph.....can matchstick wood ash do the same work ?...if so ...then thats great!!
 
ok here are the updates of my grow.. today is the beginning of 7th week,,n they seem to b doing great,,,infact the transparent pot which seems lik a pure strain sativa is growing much better than the one on the left which has more of indica traits yet sativa dominant ....probable cuz the left is a seed n right is a clone..n check out the size of the container compared to that one foot ruler i m growing it ...never expected it to grow so good in these containers...these babies are both 2 feet tall ..lemme know hw are these babes looking ? :)..mayb good enough for bud porn :P?..
n yeah i think they got another 4-5 weeks to go :)..
