I have tried a new grow in my cabinet using Subcools Supersoil recipe I found on this site. I cant rave about this soil enough. The growth and health of my plants have presented me with a problem I have not had since I built this cabinet.
My cabinet size is roughly, 5 high, 4 wide, and 2 deep. The Supersoil requires you to use 7 gallon containers but I ended up using 5 gal buckets instead to save some room. I originally built my cabinet to use containers half the size of the 5 gallon buckets, because I wanted to keep my grows smaller if I could.
I started with 5 - 1 gallon pots, and transplanted them to the 5 gal containers and switched to the flower stage. The cabinet was cramped to say the least. Three of the five turned out to be female so I was able to remove two and thought I would have plenty of room to finish the grow. I was wrong. Once again, the Supersoil has been amazing.
So the dilemma I have is this:
1. Do I remove one of the plants, leaving just two to spread out in the cabinet and ensuring I have plenty of room?
2. Do I leave all three as is and hope for the best, and at least have a spare in case something happens to one of the other plants?
3. Do I keep all three and trim them in some way. (They are tied down, which takes up more room. Or should I untie them and let them just grow up, giving me more room?) And if I do need to trim them, what is the best way? They have already begun to flower.
Note: This is a CFL grow.
Thanks in advance for any help. This site has been a big help.
