That's exactly what my momma always says about her plants. She said she does her part and if they don't like it, there'll be another one that'd loooove to take it's pot! She don't grow much mj (yet) but she likes to dote around her yard fussin. You gotta be a performer to stick around in my mamma's garden!
I've never considered "potting up" using hydroton. This is my first time growing in hydroton in a pot. I previously had my entire tray full of hydroton so that I could see just how big the roots would actually grow given the opportunity to grow as large as they wanted. These pots hold more than enough hydroton to allow for that growth that I previously saw. I usually do my ENTIRE veg in 4x4 rockwool cubes and the plants do just fine, there's no need to transplant so early. I did it just so I could throw out all of the excess hydroton from my tent and get it all cleaned out.
I'm always looking for a good mother. I don't know how many females I'm going to end up with so the results of the sexing will determine the next course of action. If I end up with a low number of females I will clone the plants and flower the clones. If I end up with high number of females I will take clones and flower these plants from seed. Refill the veg space with clones and flower them all. It's all just a matter of timing dependant upon number of females.
These will be 1 month old in 3 days the stems are strong and the spacing is pretty good. I will try to get a picture that shows the spacing. I wouldn't call it super tight or super spaced out. It has very broad leaves thus far and seems to be around 60%-40% Indica-Sativa hybrid. Definitely seems promising anyway you look at it.
I might get in on that. Worst case I have a few beans around and I can go grab a clone from a dispensary for the sake of the competition. Interesting...
These pictures show the spacing a little better.
Thanks, I owe it to everyone here who participated and gave their input to do this grow legit! Mean and Green just the way I like them. I'm liking how big and broad the leaves are. These things sure are growing some foliage. Most of the strains I've grown have had more sativa in them and grown more vertical. These are stacking up nicely and I am seeing very good things in the future.
Thanks, I've been running Ebb & Flow for years now. I don't think there's a simple system around. It's clean, it's easy, growth rates are phenomenal and causes me very few headaches.
I use Hygrozyme in my reservoir and if I'm having a helluva time with pathogens then I will use Tarantula or Aquashield. I don't use organic nutrients and try to keep all organic materials out of my reservoir.
