Just waiting and watching these things. Checking the pots/bags weight. Gonna feed one of the clinical white CBd in veg next watering. What’s the biggest size container of soil you’ve ever grown in, and if you had 2 5x5 tents what size containers would you grow in And how many containers would you do? I’m running into the issue of trying to think of how to synchronize and not outgrow my flower room and veg rooms. I’ve got a 600 in each tent mh or hps and a pretty damn nice 600 watt blurple led im using to veg right now. Just if you feel like giving your two cents.
Sure, to give you an idea. I am trying to get back on on my plan. My RDWC set me way back, I'm pulling the plug on it this weekend and pulling it all out.
Anyway, If you are running three tents like me, then this is what I do:
Everything is on a cycle. Bloom tents are half flower time apart. When one is done, the other is half done.
This way it all rotates. When something comes out of a bloom tent, the veg tent goes into it and you start vegging new plants. Rinse, repeat.
You can change it up however you want after that. I like to veg for a while in the bloom tent before I go to 12/12. Sometimes I do it to buy time in the veg tent if I have to, or if the other bloom tent has a slow flowering strain in it. That's what's cool about it. As long as you keep on track you should have a harvest every month and a half.
The biggest pot I have grown in is a 5 gallon bucket. Second biggest is 5 gallon pots. Soon I am going to do an organic sip grow in totes though, and that will be the biggest.
It comes down to preference. Some people like running 1 huge plant. That's a lot of veg time, I can get there with 4 smaller plants with the same yield a month faster. So it all comes down what you want to do, really.
If I had a 5x5, I would run nine 5 gallon pots in there, 3x3.
But again it's all personal preference. Some people throw a kiddie pool in there and SOG 100 plants. Some people do one huge monster.
Some people care about plant numbers and have to stay under it to be legal.
Honestly, a 5x5 is going to put a 600 hps to the test, that's for sure. I'd recommend a 1000w DE in there, or two 600's. I'm not into efficiency though, lol. That light setup will blow up a grow. I've always wanted to do a double 600 tent with a MH in one and a HPS in the other during flower.
Right now I'm running a 1000w DE HPS in a 4x4. A 1000w HPS in the other, and a 600MH in veg.
