this is a kind of wierd idea and maybe i am overthinking it a bit but this is my idea. I have space that is limited in width and length but not height. basically a 2x3x9 closet that area i have a 250 hps/mh fixture. The soil used is a pure potting soil with no fertilizers added. This is cut with equal parts of perlite and vermiculite (so it is 1 part dirt, .5 vermiculite, .5 parts perlite). Nutes used are foxfarms... that being said, the pots that i have are 8 inch diameter but tall. i think they carry a little over a galloon of soil.
first, is this enough soil for clones to get a decent size
second, if a little more soil would be better i was thinking i could extend the height of the pot adding at least another gallon of soil while at the same time keeping the same number of plants in said area.
that is where the concern comes in...does the shape of the root system being very tall but skinny have an effect on the plant/buds?
any thoughts?
