Hi folks. Been awhile for me to post. Due to vacation timing and a few other things, this grow is kinda messed up, but now I am going to continue to see in person what effect pot size will have with living soil grow.
The STORY - went on vacation for 3 weeks in April and wanted to get spring grow in place for when i return. Tried to minimize the work for my wife, so I used soil (i prefer using coco these days) consisting of home compost, composted seaweed, and enhanced with Gaia Green all purpose - so that all she had to do was water. They were only in 1 gallon pots. I have never used as hot a soil mix so wasnt super hopeful. The plan was originally to start em flowering when I got back giving small plants that might survive without adding to the super hot soil. Only 4 of 6 survived but looking pretty good.
The grow has now morphed into a trial for me to see what effect pot size will have on a soil grow, so I have transplanted 2 into 5 gallon bags, one in a 2 gallon bag and left the others in the one gallon pots, all in super rich soil. I have also started a few more at same time as my outdoor seeds, and will have them in coco for the same grow timing - to fill in some space in the tents. 4 of the new seeds are ready to go into their coco, and the others in soil are at 6 weeks vegging.
is anyone interested in following? if so, i will try to keep up the thread and add photos. Otherwise it will satisfy my curiosity.
note: I do realize I am not maximizing the grow, but I (and close friends) am lucky enough to have lots of dope already and this is more fun that anything.
Pineapple Cookies and Blueberry are in 5 gallon soil fabric potsas since 1 week ago
Pineapple express and a Mystery seed (looks like a fast growing sativa) are in 1 gallon pots of soil (expecting will have to enhance these later)
One Mystery is in a 2 gallon fabic pot but is now looking quite sad, apprearing to have nutrient overdose.
New indoor plants are just going into their coco pots (2 gallon)- Black Death, Coco Melon, White Rhino and Do Si Dos. These will likely be in the second tent since all are favourites so I want to let em vag a little. These are not part of the trial . Photos to come.
