Holyshitballs! How long have you guys had those in the ground? I don't even have a place I could grow anything that big. Not even if I wanted to.

My outdoor Sativa is still tiny. And weedy... probably a male, knowing my luck. The party cup has shot up. But is still pretty small and also weedy.

And my biggest is the one in the cab with at least 18L of soil to itself. Is about 18cm tall at its peak. Which is 4cm bigger than the last one at harvest. And it's only a month old.Still want to get at least another set of tops before the flip.

I'll see what I can find. Looking forward to using them. I'm drying outside In a camping tent with the fly screen on so air gets in but no bugs. Cant do indoors or the shed anymore.

I've had mine since Oct, but because of the weather mine didn't start growing till mid November (20th).

Ah. Well that makes a bit more sense to me. Yours have months on what I've got. Mine were planted late December. A week or so before chopping my last run.

Out of curiousity. If I wanted a plant around a meter to a meter and a half tall. But really bushy. How large a bucket would I need? And how large an area would you expect, on average, a plant of that size would need?

I'm trying to figure out what the dimensions of my next grow space should be.

I want to try something far larger next time. As it is. I'm only going to be running the indoor one long enough to grow another couple tops. Then making the switch to bloom.

I won't be using the 90w blurple light I've got either. Probably swap that out for 200w of 4000k cobs.

A good rule of thumb is they will be a little wider than the pot they are in. Try growing in a kiddie pool if you are wanting wide plants. And of course you need to top and tie the side limbs down to make them bushier.

Thanks @sandhill larry. That does sound about right. As my current plant is just over lapping the edges of its container. I've never grown anything worth the title of being a bush. Or larger. Maybe a very small shrub. Or bonsai. But nothing bigger. This is my tallest yet.

Season before last I had two plants I topped and tied down. There was a tragic {bud in the wrong basket} clipping incident because the side limbs were so long. Luckily there was just one seed between the two plants, so their names went from CP3 and CP4 to CP3R4. They were about 4' high and 4' wide. The other two plants in the patch {CPDA and CP1} were 7-8' high and 3' wide. Got about the same amount off the short ones as the tall ones.

Anyway, I used haystring with a loop on one end and a dead oak or pine limb on the other as a weight. I used a weight that was just heavy enough to hold the branch down. That way if there was high winds, the limb would give and not break. I had anther plant where one of the branches was tied off to a near by cedar tree, and when a storm came through, it broke that branch.

As the limb grows, just move the loop closer the end and move the weight. If you pull the limbs down with some time left to veg, it will bush up.

I've been using the Manifolding method. Topping and tying. Waiting for the second lot of heads to appear so I can give them a snip. And if it's quick enough to recover. Maybe one more before the month is out. Then once they're recovered. I'll flip over

Wow. Okay. That's quite a bit of soil to play with. I didn't think it would be that much.

I use 15 gallons (55-58litres) smart pots and get plants about the size u are talking bout even better for you if u can bury the pot in the ground halfway etc
