8 full grown plants in 1 tote? The tangibles are how big will they be when they go into flowering and are you going to let them grow straight up or are you going to use a net? Also a 18gal tote sounds small for 8 plants. If the plants are Sativa dominant overcrowding will be a big issue. You need to figure those things out then ask for suggestions.
Hey what size pump do you use. My first tote I made with an 800 gph hydrofarm. I think a little over kill was thinking about a 400gph. What do you think?
Yea my first strain in the aero is going to critical kush by barney's. It's Indica and very short veg if any. I would like 8 plants but if you think it'll be overcrowded I would try 6. No net just a lot of trimming underneath. No lst, training or topping. I'd be pretty happy with mostly just the single colas. What do you think?
I use a 250 in my single tote and in my cloner I think I have ten spray heads works great . 800 you asking for heat issues
There's going to be some crowding in that without a a doubt! I've ran just 2 Indica dominant plants in the same tub that you're using and had that issue. You gotta think about the plant branching out too. If you don't do something the buds that do form will be under developed and just sapping energy from the ones that are doing well. Experience is a good teacher though so as grow you'll see that you need to give the plants space to do they're thing. I suggest you get more tubs and put less plants in each.
Thanks for the advice. Yea the first one I'll start with 6 and I'll see how it goes. I feel like after looking at what a bunch of other people are doing, I'll probably end up At 4. Thankyou for talking me outta 8 lol
I'm about to get back to basics and grow bigger plants. I'll be binging out the 5gal buckets. I gotta find a setup that produces how I want, I'm used to large harvests and I think I'm running out of patience with setup, I'm still going to run a perpetual.
I'm liking this way now 4 flower totes total 4 plants per tote vegg around two weeks havest two totes every 4 weeks for a pound pretty easy so far
I don't have veg time for my clones and for some reason my plants haven't grown that large in flower. I'd suggest you take some clones at different heights and flower them at the same time to find out how big you're plants will get and to find the right size that works for your setup.
You're using the Home Dept bins with the yellow lids right?
Never really thought about that. Every clone I ever took was about 6". I'll have to look into thankyou
no got them at Wally world pretty much the same but these come in two diffrent sizes 27 and 15 I have both
So why ya not likin the SOG not getting the weight you were expecting , or just hard to keep em all happy ,
I'm missing the weight. If I keep at it I'll get it eventually but I don't have the patience for it right now.
