With bottle grows beware overwatering!
I thought I'd be good with with half an inch hole per gallon recipe,
I'd definately recommend having drainage in the middle as well as the bottom of the container..

Also take into account that Tall containers will take up more space in your cab, and likely produce taller plants.

oh great idea right there! hey have you used the 1liter bottles?
No not yet. 1liter bottles sounds like a good idea. The whole reason i went to these bottles was because of size issues. I tried in 2 liter bottles before. With these sativas they get way to big in them. 1 liter bottles might work great. Ill have to give one a shot. :D

How often do you water? I make a whole in three of the bumps at the bottom of the bottle. Fill it about 1" the way up with rocks. Not real small rocks. foff soil with 25% perlite. My bottles drain like a dream. :leaf::leaf:

nice, looks like you could even pack more of em under that light! great green grow!
Thank you!. Definitely going to put some more in there. Will be redoing my box soon . Need to make a veg section. Going to try to have two of those trays filled in the flowering box one day :D. Lots of watering. Love it when my plants keep me busy.

Awesome man. gl to you. They are a lot of fun. IMO really easy to work with. One of the best ways to implement size control :D

I'm using far less perlite and much more soil.
I've got some slices in the bottom with marbles, and extra holes cut around the sides of the bumps and such.
I'm hesitant to check the middle since my labels are still there to block light.

She drains great now, I only water her every day or two.

Any more drainage and I'd have to worry about her drying out while I couldn't get to her.
Obviously drainage should be up to how often you can visit them really..

That's cool, you got it figured out. I usually end up under watering my plants due to changing the perlite ratio. Going to keep it at 25%. Mostly have to water every other day.

how do you keep your cab so cool with 330w of cfl and a 150w hps?
Only using 150w of cfls. No need for the rest. For now.... The box is open all day. It is by no means stealth. Just a large 4ft triangular box in the corner. The front is mostly open and i have some thick cloth that covers the front at night. With it open and 2 fans running its stays around 85 in the summer. Now its running 75-80.(lights on). :leaf:

Feel free to count me in on the 2l and even 3l bottle grow. I didnt intend for it to happen this way, this grow, but I now know NOT to leave my 9 month old red bone hound-lab alone. She chewed and tore up 44 3 gallon black nusery pots in a matter of 4 hours time :) I had just took 15 seeds out of distilled 24hr drop and into rapid rooters in the mondi dome-heated tray. Don't have the resources to purchase more at the moment. Tis the holiday season and my family seems to be an endless one. Im also growing in a 3.5 quart old school kool aid pitcher :) Got carried away with the bottle thing already lol.

I am waiting about 7 more days to flip them into 12/12. Growing some great strains in these bottles. In bottles I have : Tga--1 The Flav and 1 Querkle. Resin Seeds--La Ultra( MK Ultra X La Con) and Sour P. Karma Genetics I have 1 D-Kush ( Chem D Cut X SFV OG Kush BX2) 1 cheddar jack ( UK Cheese X jack Herer) 1 Kush-O-Nesia ( SFV OG Kush bx2 X Original Dutch Amnesia) 1 Super Lemon Wreck from green acres seeds ( GHSC Super lemon haze x A-Train from TH Seeds) 1 Dazy Jones(Casey Jones X Casey Jones) from Devils Harvest and a Strawberry Sour D IBL..............And a clone from Karma Genetics Happy Brother BX2 which is a really really old almost pure indica genetic that was gifted to karma in the early 90's. I have the Root Beer Float Pheno and it ain't no joke. It really reminds me of something from TGA Just totally unique flavor and super potent!

My apologies for the diarrhea fingers. I rolled a nice spliff for my head one minute and the next I am swimming in the caribbean all while on RIU foruming it up . God do I love cheeba or what :)
Sub'd in da recliner for sure. I don't have anything in 24oz bottles, but I will be glad to share some pics once best buy returns my Nikon D3000. I took a royal one from them, and def don't recommend anyone to besy buy. They are a perfect example of how Corporations are heartless and gutless systems designed for one thing: Profit.

\Till the next time,
Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Your a mad man :D. That's quite the assortment of strains. I'll try some "named" strains soon. Currently growing unknown mexican sativa mostly. I just packed the first bowl off one of my bottles.. 2 hits in about 30min :D. Baked :eyesmoke:. Its definitely not what im used to smoking.

I'm a dog guy. Love labs. Last dog i had was a yellow lab. Loved the water. Sorry to hear about the pots :D. Im sure he got away with it :).

Thats awesome man. I would love to see the pics. I have four new seeds sprouting now. Will be ready to plant tomorrow. Going into 16oz,24oz and 1 liter bottles. Not sure about the 2 liter bottle yet.. Worried about height issues. Have a 21" plant in a 24oz'er now. Same plant + 2 liter = well over 30". little to much.

Everything sounds great. Glad to have you on board. Feel free to post all the pics you want :D. Best of luck to you. Happy Growing.. & smoking :D

just re-potted some seedlings into 2 litre 100% perlite hempy's kinda had to get them out of the shit they were in and fix the stem of the berry bomb (don't know how but it got a lil' bit bent up), hopefully she'll be ok! They should acclimatise to their new home within a week and start growing again, so you have until then lol XD

Sounds like a plan. :D I have 4 sprouting now. They will be ready by tomorrow morning. That will make 14 going. Would be nice if they were all female. I'll be lucky if i can pull 6 to 8 females. :D

Just a few pics. R1 The first one i planted in the bottles is looking great. She still needs almost 2 weeks. Short and fat. Just want to bite into her. :lol:
