i do have some earthboxes, but i only use them outside. space inside super limited.
i have seen people do the “stack” method you describe with autos to prevent the auto from flipping early and getting MASSIVE veg growth.
hadn’t considered the fabric pot angle. interesting take.
That’s cause soil will buffer for you. Hydro keeps you on your shit as in 12 hours you can see if you fucked up or not
This is why I hydro. Not often, but when I do I usually go to far…
6x 1L grow sites in a self-contained RDWC Fallponics system
Earlier in the grow:
End of the grow:
Literally only mixed up nutes 1x a week and topped it off with PH 5.7 filtered water in between each weeks nutrient swap. All the left-overs ended up in my houseplants and now my Ruby Red Grapefruit tree has more flowers than leaves!!!
The BudBusterPro has prolonged the flower time but I’m not going to harvest her until the fem Frankie beans are ready. Sorry don’t have a current pic but she’s getting chopped in another week or two. I did find a pic of her after she started to flower
I’m really focused on making hash and the tent space for flowering is always booked up with 50% strains I know produce and 50% stuff I am hunting for good washers. Even if I got an amazing auto washer I couldn’t make that exact plant again, I grow a few stunted autos in Half litre soil pots every year for ghits and shiggles .
i started indoors that way… trying to cram a bunch in and get the list whittled down. the problem i ran into was yield. i found one strain out of about 6 i ran (in tiny pots) that actually worked and had a PITIFUL stash amount to work with. abuela blew through it in no time flat… it really sucked. i had to kill plants and completely rearrange space, and beg wife to allow me to add more space for growing. all three of those tasks were certified un-fun™. but hey… we identified GDP as an abuela workhorse. so silver linings and such…
but yeah. yield. i got bitten by the yield pitfall early on. now i have a perpetual GDP going on and that takes up zones 2-4. i only have zone1 to continue the strain hunt during the winter…
In that situation i’d take cuts of everything, once you find one that works rock it hard. Take more cuts of the initial cuts, flower the initial cuts ASAP, and roll with it. That’s how I’d handle that to help speed the search without a learning curve.
