Loving your setup!! Was actually racking my brain today with this issue. I prefer larger pot sizes and more no til practices but am trying to run through larger numbers of seeds this year. Seeing you has me inspired to keep at it. Realistically, it’ll look like a couple 15 gallon pots holding 3-4 plants each and then 1.5 gallon pots of the stuff I’m running through for numbers. Appreciate the shots you take. Plants look great. Will you trellis or just manage the top by hand with the different cuts in there?
I made the switch about a year ago to a no till bed from running 5g pots. Always ran into issues and i don’t have that much time to put into growing due to my job. So this was the “easiest” option to run with. I could put more plants in the 5x5 with pots, but the quality wasn’t there. This will be my fourth run in this bed
I just let them grow naturally and stake when needed @dirty
Man, that’s awesome. Consider me locked in here. I’ll be asking questions and taking notes
I follow a buddy on ig that runs in totes and a 25g fabric pot. He’ll run multiple cuts in the same bed. If your on ig, his handle is donbo81o. He got me into organics and no till.
And ask away. I’m fairly new to it, but I’ve done a lot of reading up and also have a 10 year background in turf management and horticulture practices
I’ve run as many as 5 plants in a 5 gallon pot before with no problem. The concept is that a given field can produce a maximum amount of biomass in one season, limited by nutrients, water, light, etc.
Lets say 1 5 gal pot can yield up to 12 oz when growing 1 plant. Assuming you adjust the limiters to the new density maybe you get 18 oz/container but only 9 oz/ plant. In this case, you yield more per CONTAINER with 2 plants but yield less per PLANT. Eventually adding plants won’t increase the yield per container but will just decrease the yield per plant. This is the idea behind organic cash crop planting where you yield less per plant bit make up for it by increasing density.
I made up the yield numbers in that example, but this is a principle in plant physiology and crop production. I personally think high density cannabis plantings are the best way to maximize supposed environmental benefits while maintaining yield.
If you’re not opposed sprinkle some epsom salt around the PuReKnOwLeDgE bro she’s a mag whore
Nice looking bed, my friend! They look like they’re over there hustling. Great job.
Thank you, they’re hustling for sure!! They just got a nice feeding yesterday
How’s the pure knowledge turning out? Also how’s the blue star bx? I like the choices for runs you make!
Pureknowledge is very finicky. Guessing it’s the sour diesel in the line causing the issues. One never turned around no matter what i did with her. The blue star is amazing. I grew her out last year.
Looking gorgeous my friend! Very nice
