5 Gallon Smart Pots about 3/4 full? Maybe only 2/3. Next Time I'll use 3 gallon pots completely full and water more thoroughly for the smaller circumfrence. I wasn't watering the edges nearly as much as the middle and had to constantly rotate and turn them in veg due to leaning.
The plant has been in this pot since day one. The seed was germinated in paper towels and once it cracked and had a tap root it was placed 1/2 inched below the soil. It has never been transplanted.
Soil was FFoF
Nutes were 3 part Fox Farms liquids (Big Grow, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom)
It was topped at just above the 2nd true node per Uncle Ben's gigantic thread.
Light is a 400 watt CMH
Total time growing for plant was 39 days from when I first saw it break soil.
"Harvested" on Day 11 of 12/12
28 days veg
11 days 12/12
The butter seems to be decent enough from the male plant, one grilled cheese got me feeling pretty good, snuck right up on me. I used 2 sticks of butter for the whole plant.
No weight of plant, no scale, sorry
The root balls look really good. There were no white root runners like I saw on my 1 plastic pot plant or have seen in pictures of transplants or root bound plants.
I've never grown indoors, although I have had lots of out door gardens of real vegtables due to living in the county. First grow with weed. It really does grow like a weed its amazing, lol.
So how does this compare to what people normally see in plastic containers. Seems to me everyone uses ridged plastic or the plastic sacks.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
Pictures, from left to right, top to bottom
1. Offending male plant to be sacrificed because he did not live up to his feminized seed status
2. Bottom of pot
3. Inside close up of pot
4. Inside of plant flash
5. Inside of plant high ISO
6. The plant out of the pot initially. As you can see there is some soil already in the bottom pan thing, some got knocked off from having to kinda pry/rip it out/off of the pot. Also the very sides didn't have as much fibrous growth, probably due to not getting much water to the sides of the pot very often. It was quite attached to the bottom and required more coercion to get off.
7. Some dirt knocked off
8. More dirt off.
9. little more dirt off
10. The roots of the last picture with the dirt semi carefully knocked off
11. Top of tap room where it was seperated from the stem close up
12. Root system from the last pic farther away
13. The bottom 2 nodes of the stem and the root system from the last pic
14. Now with chopstick for somewhat size reference.
15. The stem and clump of dirt before I stripped it of its dirt.
