All the girls looked good and ready for transplant besides one of the G-1000. A little small but looking healthy and I didn’t want to wait to transplant.

Slightly overwatered during transplant. The sherb og and 33 sherb definitely struggled more than the others. Copper sunsets are growing with vigor.

Finally got the soil to a proper moisture and the plants seems to be growing with vigor. The Sherbangers are the only ones that don’t seem like they’re totally happy and I’m unsure what the reason is.

Filling out nicely, a little burnt tips but all in all they seem pretty happy.

Decided to go ahead and flip to flower. I know this bed is really going to fill up during the stretch so I’m trying to manage the space any way I can. Everything seems relatively healthy besides the few burnt tips. Only two plants are much smaller than the others so it’ll be interesting to see if they get drowned out during bloom. Cheers

Defoliated and clean up all lowers today. Watered in some compost tea a couple of days ago. Everything seems happy and healthy.

This is day 28 of flower. I defoliated a ton on day 21 along with cleaning up all the branches and chopping any small ones. I had a few fungus gnats pop up so I added some beneficial insects. Watered in some nematodes and sprinkled the predator mites right on top. Haven’t seen many gnats so they must be doing there job. Everything looks pretty good to me so they really don’t need much attention right now.

Getting close to harvest. G-1000 is definitely closest to finishing.

Day 82. The G-1000 will be getting chopped down tomorrow along with the Gelato Crush. The others still need a few more days. I’ve lowered the light intensity to preserve the terpene profile on these girls trying to keep the heat down. Looking forward to the dry and cure! Cheers!

@BudBundy732, Don't need to watch some random ass youtube video to "learn how to grow" I already know how to grow. I already have the fundimentals of growing down, like one plant per pot. SUPER BASICS. You can try whatever You want, ovbiously. FACT is, your plants will 100% be negativly impacted from fighting over nutrients and root space as they mature. There is a huge difference between knowing everything and knowing basic growing knowledge. I know "everything" because there is litereally NO ADVANTAGE to this technique, try answering the question (unless you can't). Better yet, Try pulling your head out of your ass, I think you will have a better clarity on everything if you did that.

@Troy_Farms, well I’m happy neither one of us cares what either one thinks. This is my first time growing in a bed so I have no experience with it, but I have seen very successful grows with this method, that’s a FACT. An easy way to look into it is to check out Build a Soil on Instagram or Youtube. And I just found this site, so thats why I have no grow journals. Been growing long enough that I don’t need approval from some random dude that thinks he knows everything. Thanks for the support though.

Troy_Farmscommented4 years ago
@BudBundy732, you contradicted yourself. Fortunately I could care less what you think, facts are just that, FACTS. Actions speak louder then words, so we will see what happens if you accuratly keep accurate updates. There is a reason you don't have a bunch of previous diaries with harvests showing said technique. Do your thing, I don't care. Just responding to the idea of multiple plants in same container. Still facts, bottom line.

The reason people don't plant in same containers is because the plants will inevitably fight for nutrients and create a host of issues in the roots themselves. Aside from the plants themselves fighting for light. This is a terrible idea and you never see any experienced growers do this for very good reasons. I checked profile to see if you have done this before and of course this is your first time doing this, so I am not surprised.
