i wouldnt put them in 1 pot, i mean ive seen it work ONCE, where a guy had a big rubermaid container full of soil(he said he couldnt afford separate pots but someone pointed out that filling that whole thing with soil cost more than a few plastic pots) and he grew like 3 (or was it 4? 5?) plants from seed to harvest. but usually the plants roots will tangle up and they will kill each other over water and nutrents. ive also seen some one grow a few tall ponts in solo cups so nothing is impossible

but i would see how many 1 gal pots you can fit in there and grow that many plants

Why don't I put 2 dividers in mine giving it three sections that roots can't pass, and if any become male I pull them out along with their barrier and let the good ones expand?

great logic, and im also happy to see your gonna keep doing what you want =-D.

id only do 3 dividers tops, maybe a 4th. and make sure the soil is deep. what are the dimensions of the bottom of the cooler again?

approx 1x2 feet in the bottom, tapers to get wider at the top where the cover fits, and then instead i have another identical cooler upsidedown on top as you know, so it tapers back in again where the lights are in the upper area, it all stands about 2.5 - 3 feet high.

I am not trying to be a hater...

But ONE MONTH is not a long term period of time to say the data shows its safe.

So I guess that would be a "no'? You've never heard of it happening. Ever. Not Once?

so either 2 dividers making room for 3 plants or you could put it like a "+" if you think you have room for 4

Haha that's so simple but I never would have though of making a "+"!! I can use two dividers and get 4 compartments, that's genius. I'll see what I have room for. Thanks again dude. I'll post some new pics of whatever I do tomorrow night probably.

Tomorrow will be a fresh start. This will be nice. When I started this plant I didn't know a damn thing. We'll see how these ones go.

Will do, that's why I'm not disturbing it's darkness tonight, in case tomorrow I decide it's dick looks like a calyx. It's only on day 3 of flowering. But it's growing wicked-fast, and definitely has genitals since 2 days ago. I doubt my phone will take good enough resolution to show you but I'll try it out tomorrow and show you the best pic I can get of it.

Haha it's a great pic, explains everything much simpler than words. Mine looks like the left half, its projecting more out sideways than up, and no hairs in sight. No sign of any trichomes anywhere either, although I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to see them or not yet lol. But anyway the way the things are growing they look like they are determined to be a hanging set of balls and not hairs, they are still very small though so I'm gonna give it a chance.

Couldn't get a good close-up of it with a cellphone :/ I called that one. The biggest 'organs' I see so far are sitting on the fourth node up I think. As you go up they get smaller. However, it seems like there are little growths sitting in the crotches of some of the upper branches too. I wasn't sure what to make of these.. They don't look like the reproductive parts in the lower nodes of the plant.

o wow, im surprised how much that sucker has bushed out. it leads me to think that this is actually a one or two plant box, and i was giving it more room in my imagination.

i cant really tell much from those pictures, cuz you couldnt really get a close up, but if i focus real hard i think i can see the balls your talking about

I think I'll have 4 compartments and hope for 2 females and grow two plants in there (divided soil though) from start to finish. I took a few more pics from other angles with different lighting, hoping to get a better glance. The growths come out directly sideways in most cases. There is no more than one per side of each node so far, but they are just liitle ball-shaped things really, and give me the feeling they just wanna get bigger and not grow any pistils. Here take a look:




If I put the camera any closer it goes out of focus. That's the best I can do until the things gets bigger so I can get a better picture of them.

you could do 12/12 from seed and then reveg as soon as you see females or just keep them flowering after you weed out the males
