does the shock from trimming the roots have any long term negative effects? It’s crazy that even with 13 gallons, the plants still don’t have enough room to grow to their full potential. What do they need?! 55 gallon Tupperware bins?!
Ya gotta look at what their full potential really is. Some strains can grow giant 20ft trees. I'm sure the roots of a plant that size are insane.
Circulation is good humidity Is 45-50 I'm not even running a dehu. Just one of the ac in dry mode and my temp and humidity is steady. At 78 with light as 115%. The head units move a ton of air.
I would think it all depends on veg time as to what size is needed. I'm not sure if pruning roots slows the plant down. The roots seem to bounce back no prob
what do you think shocked the little fellas? What would you do different?How many strain did you grow
Water flow problems late because the glue filled to bucket pretty solid. That was with 2 weeks left then the first week I didn't have my rpm probe completely submerged so it was reading low. I kept adding more notes and it hardly moved so I gave more then left. Came back 2 hrs later and noticed some rust looking stuff on the leaves of a couple and was like wtf. Then I grabbed my hand held meter and was almost at 500 PM first week. Drained and filled with ro water to get it back down. So I dont think. I know. So every few days I have been clipping the long feeders off and keeping it bunched up. They grow back very fast. That will solve my water flow. And I'm making sure proves are right before doing anything.
Why wouldn’t you have to do it anymore after end of week 3?
It is just absolutely insane that they fill up the buckets THAT much. Lol. Can you imagine if they were given the room to actually grow?!
What do they need more room for? They get all the water and nutes they need right there. The water brings it to them, they don't need to go anywhere!
Because they will be in trellis on some and just dont like to cut on them after week 3. I can reach in and keep them out for the most part unless they try to fill up again. Here some pics. I just trimmed them 4 days ago and one already going into the cone screen on return manifold. Before and as after of today's pruning.Why wouldn’t you have to do it anymore after end of week 3?
8gallon. 3 week veg
They do but once they get big house can kind of twist them together. Growing into the pipe is ok as long as it doesn't clog up. They are growin ggv into the net on return manifoldBDT, do they start growing into the PVC? Maybe figure out a way to keep em out? Just tryna figure out how to reduce your work load
where did you get 17 gallon food grade buckets?
Gosh those fan leaves look BEAUTIFUL. Are you cloning now, and did you set up a separate veg room yet or are you going to continue doing the whole cycle in one location?
Most of us with bigger sites dont care about any kind of food grade rating and just use plastic totes. That's probably the first mention I've heard of "food grade" sites tbh. People out there growing in just about whatever type of container you can imagine from trash cans and totes to Walmart bags and old paint cans.
One room.
