I do this too. But only when going into another persons grow room or one of our different locations. You just don't know what could be lingering. We have white plastic suits :) not quite lab coats but it's a cool feeling putting one of those on before heading into your room. If my partner gives me permission I will show you our "bigger" operation
Lets see mate!

all day yesterday, i thought about repotting one of my flowering clones into my new 2.4 gallon air pot. by "morning" i was too wasted to give a fuck.

ima try again tonight! :joint:

they're supposed to increase root mass. i'm bored so i'm trying to tweek my grow without having to put in any extra effort. i'm using air pots to see if the increased root mass, if indeed there is one, will increase my yeild significantly. we shall see!

i'm not expecting anything from repotting a currently flowering plant but i have a bunch of .3 gallon ones and if they look like a good investment, i'll get a bunch of larger pots.


i'm using smart pots at the moment. i'll see how they do in about 60 days!

I switched to Pure Coco Coir for medium for the same reason... I use 6" pots packed tight.. Any roots that grow out of the pot get air pruned and allow for a large root mass..

Water is scheduled to go ON every 3 hours so the coco never get tooo dry.. I would recommend a different medium way before a Special Pot...

You need to try one of the air pots with what you got going on trust me you will love it.

What is everyones average yield per plant? Just curious cuz mine seems pretty decent just with regular pots. If they can really increase my root mass even more to help increase my yield I might give them a go. I currently have a couple auto flowers in 5 liter air pots but have been kinda neglecting them...

First time with air pots here. In DWC I average about 3 - 4 oz per plant.

i average one oz per plant. none of my genetics were purchased with yeild in mind so most are average to low yeilders! i'm hoping the air pots/smart pots bump this up a bit so i can reduce my number of plants. the girls are about 10 days into flower. i have 6 small seedings that i decided to flower. they are starting to annoy me and i'll probably wack them soon!

i need to tie a few of these down and trim up the bottoms. one of these days, i'll get around to it! :)

I average .5-1 oz per plant but keep in mind I run SOG style plants... No taller than 2 ft at finish... Easy to maintain..

I love DENSE nugs and hate popcorn shit... I want 5-20 gram nugs not 1-3 gram nugs...

Damn so what am I doing? Ha ha I yield 4-8 oz per plant...:) all organic too I could only imagine if I went back to hydro like my partner wants. So far with our new system the lowest has been 3 oz but the highest was 9 1/2.

It is a question of Quality over Quantity??

I prefer quality over quantity...
Dense Tight Nugs for me.... Popcorn for you.... Small little plants seem to produce the Denser buds than a monster 5 ft plant.... Plus little babies are easier to maintain than Phat girls...

Outdoors I was pulling anywhere between .5lb-2lbs a plant....

the ballast to my 250 died so for this grow i used a T5 and then a 600 W for flower.

one of the reasons my yeilds aren't bigger is that i'm really, really, really lazy (and i like to stay high all day)! i was into tweeking my grows for max yeilds at first, but it's been a long time of constant growing and i mostly don't give a rat's ass anymore. the only reason i'm attempting to tweek my grows now are the 12 plant limit. i need to increase my per plant yeild to get legalish! i'm very concerned about our medical pot laws and it looks like it's going to be a full court press to overturn them.

another reason is that i usually leave the vegging plants in party cups and then put them right into the flowering pots. as i throw them into flower right then, the root mass doesn't get as large as i would like. this is why i'm trying out the smart pots and air pots.

i'm actually pretty happy with 1 oz per plant. considering the bare minimum of effort i put into it, my yeilds more than meets my needs. what more could i ask for?

i was pulling between 20 and 26 oz every 3 months when i was using a 1000 watt. i had so much reefer i got nervous and gave a bunch of it away. i figured a 600 would be perfect. i'm averageing 16 oz per crop.

WINNING! :)

by the way, to add some encouragement for you newer growers; my first grow was 8 OZ. it increased steadily due to practice, practice and more practice!

Geez - i have been at about a zip per plant. Would love to get that up to 2-3 zips per plant. Hopefully this time with LST we will yield higher.

My plants are only about 2-3 feet tall when finished they are just a lot more bushy. As far as the quality question goes, I'll post pictures for you guys to be the judge when I get to my laptop. But let's put it this way...I've been offered upwards of 5k per pack. On top of that a guy has also offered his 2010 Nissan skyline for a 20 pack.

That is perfect man. Everyone has their own style of growing and whatever works best for you is the right way IMO. I just do a lot of training in veg so I dont have to worry about them in flower. I have to stick to the legal plant law so that is the reason I train so hard. Need to get the most I can out of the plant with only a 4-6 week veg.
