Did I hear love dog?
A warm welcome and kudos on the setup.
Almost contractor grade setup. How long did it take you to put that together?

morgwar · Mar 10, 2017

Oh and digging the two per pot, curious.

Have you grown love dawg? I have always wanted to run any bodhi seeds and thats the strain i choose.

It took about 2 months of weekend work to get the grow done. Its still a work in progress...

Right now im looking for a mother plant so those are all reg seed plants there. No idea female/males yet.

Also im not sure if i wanna grow 2 or 1 per pot... I have tried asking around and i get many mixed reveiws....

From the pot to the lights i have maybe 4 feet to work with.

So its 12 smaller plants vs 6 larger plants...

I will most likly just lst and lollipop as i am not a fan of scrog

GrowingTheDream · Mar 10, 2017

Also for the mother i am going to take clones of all females before flowrring them. After flower we will see what clone we end up keeping.

morgwar · Mar 10, 2017

Nah I'm a dog/dawg fanatic haven't had a chance with it yet.

morgwar · Mar 10, 2017

I've only "heard" negative things about doubling em up but,,,, never seen it done or tried myself.
And 20 gallons wow.
In nature they grow well closer than that.

morgwar · Mar 10, 2017

With root contact one might decide to be male, I'd love to hear that conversation.
If I were to do it 20 gallons sounds like the way to go. May force em to work harder too. Plenty of soil+competition+light.
Added possibility of freak out at 12/12. Might think "I'm being shaded out better grow fast".

Well... Once i see a male its getting cut. So that argument is out the window.

I dont see problems with "shading" with proper training. With my light set up there is 0 shade anywhere in my room....

Nutrient competition... Im using no till soil so the soil is living, so if im adding enough inputs for both of them then there shoudnt be an issue

I too recieved alot of negative about 2 plants per pot.

Flip side is its the internet... No one ever has proof its bad..how do you know the skill level of the grower? For all you know they were trying it in a 10 gallon pot..

I mainly wanna do 2 plants per pot just to prove everyone wrong

a lot of the time I post more on my thread than anyone else it can get lonesome

I didn't mean to come off as critical.
Someone has to have the balls to try something, and I think itll be fine maybe really good even.
I grow in home made soils, drop a banana peel on the surface and it's completely gone in a week.
Didn't mean they would shade each other out lol.
I meant when you flip the switch they'll blame each other and race for the light. Nature loves competition. I'll be watching and good luck man!

Just stating my thoughts. No biggie. Im hoping it works out too

I'm probably gonna copy your idea if you don't mind.
I'm collecting big name seeds and making a seed library or personal bank, and just planting the male and female together makes sense since I'm only after seeds.
