I’m looking for actual tips. Are there anything’s I should look out for ? Any cons of smaller grows like that?
What exactly do you do to maintain the roots. Or anything differently from bigger potted plants ?I grow big plants in small containers.
Size of 2 solo cups. Soil
3 gallon soil
I had to use a ladder to get a pic of the top as the plant is over 7 ft tall now.
I don't do anything or add any products. Both of those were grown in soil I mixed and then just watered with tap water straight from the tap. When I did start to give any feed it was only 1/4 - 1/3 strength. The second picture that plant has only been given compost tea in between watering's from the hose when I was watering my garden. So nothing special. Minimal feedings and that's it. The second photo that plants bottom leaves are yellowing but I'm not concerned with that. The seed was planted on May 5th so the bottom leaves dying off on a 4+ month old plant isn't anything I'm concerned about. If anything lower feeding is better than overfeeding especially in small containers.
I’ve seen with the small containers the roots will tangle themselves and eventually die . But people say you can trim them . Why didn’t you have to? I’m confused on what they would’ve been doing differently
I don't know. Maybe they do too much. I just leave them alone and let them grow. Water them when they need it and give them minimal amounts of food. Many people overfeed which is why they have issues.
Yeah so In a case like that . What would you do about that? Do you trim them and it’ll be fine or let it rock out and dieI don't know. Maybe they do too much.

I did go to move this one only to find out a big root had grown out of the bottom of the pot and into the ground. It's just an Ethiopian I didn't have room for indoors so I just put it in the backyard and watered it when it was dry. Doesn't look all that good and I still don't know what to do with it. It hasn't even started flowering yet. I hate killing plants but this one might just have to go as it can't come inside and it definitely won't finish even in the greenhouse. It's a sativa that takes about 14 weeks to flower. The tops had just been supercropped. It's quite pale and obviously underfed but it's just been fed with the hose and maybe 2 light feedings. It's been neglected but still growing pretty healthy considering everything.
Well I ripped it out of the ground and it didn't seem to notice. Roots are still sticking out. I didn't trim them.
I’m doing everything indoors and I had the extra space so why not do a few small ones right . But I don’t want to run into any crazy situations and ruin my babies
