11/1 beginning of a new week. They continue to grow very nicely. I suspect they will be short bushy plants based on what I’m seeing so far. Today I tied them over just a little and watered with Recharge. I’m very curious to see how they grow this week. 11/4 this big pot requires a lot of water! I decided to remove the homemade training device I’d previously installed. I’m not sure what to expect with these girls. They’re so bushy and short. If I need to train later I’ll probably use a net. 11/5 trimmed clover. We added soil around edges. Started a tea, I’m pretty sure these 3 are about to explode very soon. 11/6 I can’t make up my mind! I decided to start a little LST and see how they react.

This is my first grow with multiple plants in 1 pot. And my first grow in a 20 gallon pot. These are autos. What is the easiest way to train these girls and spread them out?

If you know the genetics then you can top them and lst, good auto flower genetics will give you about a 3 week veg time and double In height when she hits preflower..not all will tho. Some will stay super short. But weather it's one pot or 3 it's the same training as normal.

Should I start training these girls? 20 gallon pot. Gnome genetics (Anvil) my first with this strain and this large of a pot. They’re about 5” tall and very bushy. To train or not to train, that is the question?)

This 20 gallon pot is Fox Forest soil heavily amended. There are 3 plants growing and doing great. I want to plant new plants where the clover is growing as soon as these finish. My plan is to slowly add amended soil to the top. Will this work? Will the next round be successful?

hey there Dr , well, you dont need to add the soil slowly, just add it all to completely cover the clovers and they'll die and start decomposing immediately. usually you want to wait a few weeks to make super soil, but if you're adding amended soil, you'll be good to right away, does that make sense? hope this helps ! 🚀

Any recommendations on an automatic watering system for this pot? My fear is the bottom is soaked and the top is dry. Hopefully just paranoid.

hey there Nickerbaucker, think of it this way : sometimes it doesnt rain for a month over summer and naturally grown cannabis doesnt die, so what's happening ? basically the roots are much longer than we think and they may hit an underground water feature , so it's totally fine if the bottom is soaked but the top gets dry . the problem is when there is water mold or other pests and bad stuff getting in there. that's why if you go the (much easier and doable) bottom feeding route you might want to add some beneficial bacteria in there just to make sure they regulate any kinds of mold you might get. Realistically with what you're doing you'll have to build your own "tripple ring top feeding system" or just hand water it. I use autopots, but something you can also do is put them on a deepish tray and water the tray directly, add some clayballs or perlite to prevent some of the evaporation. That sort of thing, hope this helps ! 🚀

Day 30. I have multiple firsts here for me, making it really fun and really odd. At day 30 I’m use to a way larger pot but in 5 gallon. Does a larger container effect early growth? These are healthy and loaded with stems ready to be buds. Or is it the genetics?

The answer is all of the above. The pot size,genetics and also the companion plants. Makes for a good healthy root zone. Gl the rest of the way.

Day 35 auto. Finally showing pre-flowers and she seems a bit droopy. Is that normal for some strains? Or did I let her get to dry? Or do I have an issue? They seemed more perky yesterday but I didn’t do anything yesterday. All organic

Hey there again Dr. Nick, so you have a few problems looking up at the same time. There's been a bit of (chronic) overwatering happening, this you can see from the puffy leafs , the drooping is partially due to that aswell. This led to some kinds of root zone issue, this you can see from the drooping. The Recharge actually didnt help much, this you can see from the "too dark" aspect of the bottom leafs. The top leafs are coming in discolored, so that's an "immobile nutrient" issue, namely calmag. Cut out the recharge, get some calmag in there possibly by using epsom salt , and fix the root zone with beneficial bacteria/microbes, stopping to overwater. None of the problems are very serious yet, so even if it sounds bad, dont panic, that's how you make mistakes. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Does early over-watering that causes stunting effect harvest times? This strain usually goes 65-75 days, I’m at day 67 and appear to need a few more weeks. Over-watering cause? Or a larger pot?

It’s very likely just the wide range of autoflowers seed to harvest time.. unfortunately it’s all over the place even if they quote a certain time frame. To illustrate this point I’d recommend just perusing the autoflower diaries on this site that have been harvested and then cross reference their breeders supposed time frame.. ppl have 60-70 days ones that go 100-120 days. Plant looks good tho I wouldn’t stress it. It’s just one of those things they don’t quite advertise - but it’s true. Good luck!

@DrNickerbaucker, the only way to truly know is to grow... i dont think there's anything wrong with what you're planning, but issues might arise not refreshing the soil every now and then, plus there's a few reasons you dont want multiple plants in one big pot, but like i said you know until you grow. good luck growmie ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, I’d like to plant 3 in the void space as soon as these are chopped. Then alternate back and forth each grow. That would give these roots about 3 months to rot.

Great Job👍.. to your question about training AUTO'S. Dr Greenthumb gave you some misinformation, Auto's have come a long ways in the past few years. I've topped and trained every auto that I grow and I consistently get harvests between 3-4 ounces and I've had a few over 4 ounces,(DRY). If you top an auto you won't get the big main cola, but you get lots of med-lrg to large sized buds if you do it correctly. Everybody has different ways of doing things, but if you want big harvests, try experimenting with these auto's and you will be rewarded for your efforts. Check out some of my diaries if you want, I'll be happy to help if you need some.. Happy New Years👊👊...

What a great grow!! What's your conclusion on growing multiple plants on a big pot?
DrNickerbaucker
DrNickerbaucker
@Psilocubensis, thank you very much for the advise and tips. I’m always trying to learn and fine tune. My thoughts.. I really enjoyed this grow and learning experience, it will pay off for years. In the future I won’t grow in a pot this size with multiple plants for many reasons. Starting with watering, as I stated before I have a large grow bed now but it’s set up with Blumots so I don’t have to stress near as much. Moving 20 gallons of soil is not easy at all. My advice would be if you want to grow multiple plants go all in and go big. If not stick with something you can move and monitor easy. 20 gallons with autos indoors is the perfect combo to be a pain in the butt! I love the grow bed with multiple plants! Go big or stay small!

@DrNickerbaucker, Sure it's!!!!! Plant must seek for water, so the roots will expand. Also, in flower, if you water too much, roots will die from lack of oxygen (3 days and they gone), and as it's on flower, no more roots will grow, leaving you with a great plant without roots. I do believe that >50% of the grower ability is to water right. You may have a shit genetic, but if you water properly, you may take more than someone with great genetic that's watering too much. What you could do do avoid that, as you like to water, is to put more perlite on the next bag you make, and to put a layer of 3 finger of perlite on the bottom, so the roots will always have a place to breath. Also, waiting for the plant to dry and ASK for water is a great technique (for veg). On flower, you could watch and learn how long until the plant ask for water without forcing it, as flower need water more regularly, and lack of water isn't as good as in Veg. Then you note that time, and water with small amount of water right before the time it's going to ask for water. I have really hard time with watering too. I have many suculents and cactus that i train that, i let them without water, and that's too hard to me not to water them, but i realize that they almost don't need water, and that makes me feel good about not watering my other plants. I did realized that when I travel, my plant grow much more because I'm not there watering them like a aquarium. Tell me more about a great pot with multiple plants. Do you believe it's better than individual pots?

@Psilocubensis, I will definitely do it again. Since this grow started I started a 3x6 indoor bed that I grow multiple plants in and I really enjoy that. Learning to water correctly is key and I learned the hard way.
