I got the clone already rooted and ready to go, will be starting 2 other Barney's phot strains and 4 Fastbuds autos to grow alongside it. Plan is to veg for 3 months and flip to flower after harvesting the autos.
Defoliated to improve airflow and re tied branches down to create a more even canopy. Will re ammend the medium with 2 cups of worm casting, 1.5 tbps azomite and Gaia Green 4 4 4 on the last day of week 4. Recharge in every watering during veg.
First time growing photos, so I need help with future planning what size pots will be best to flower the photos in. 3 months veg from clones in 5 gal. 34 days in and it seems like it will fill out the 5gal pots they are in, currently watering everyday. So 15 or 20 gal is best?
Your doing a great job on your first photoperiod grow. The plants are looking A+
Your could flower in your 5gal pot if you want. Its all about when you switch them to 12/12 and what you want to do with the plant.
The larger the pot the larger the plant can be, it also goes the larger the pot and plant the larger amount of feed you will also need.
If you plan on doing SCROG I'd suggest a 10gal pot.
I don't know how much vertical room you have in your grow, but a 15-20gal pot would let them weeds grow to monsters in height.
Your defiantly don't want to outgrow your space in flower as it harder to go higher with the lights if there is no more room, then your plants get burnt from the lights.
Your grow is looking great and anything you do I'm sure will be fine no matter what.
You have a good handle on what your doing.
I would suggest transplanting into the new pot a week or two before switching them to flower.
Happy Growing!
I transplanted into the final pot, 20 gallons. I am affording a gallon of medium per week of plant growth. This will be a 20 week grow. This has been a very relaxing grow as I don't have to see about multiple plants at once.
Week 6, middle of my 12 week veg journey, the plant is extremely healthy and well fed. It didn't even express any transplant shock from the prior week transplant into the 20 gallon, up from 5 gallon. Will defoliate a couple leaves to provide extra airflow mid week. Looking forward to getting a tent soon which will give me the added boost of reflective walls.
5 more weeks left on the schedule for the veg cycle, growth has been amazing with no signs of stress. I am also using recharge at every watering at (1/4) strength.
Top dressed at the start of week 10 of veg in preparation to start flower this week. Defoliated and lollipop the bottom and also switched using recharge at every watering to tribus bloom at 1/2 strength to add microbes. Dropped ph to 6.3. The pics and videos this week is from 3 days after flipping the light schedule.the tent took longer to arrive than expected, I honestly would’ve flipped at the end of week 8 if I had the means, hopefully the flower stretchy isn’t massive, the plant sits at 42 inches and the plant pot is 1 1/2 feet so I am running out of space in the tent quickly.
Day 11 into flower, plant has transitioned quickly and didn’t stretch as much (thank God) as I thought it would heading into flower. It’s current size is 48 inches wide and 49 inches tall from the top of the soil.
Defoliated and lollipop the bottom of the plant at the end of week 2. Plant seems healthy, did an early top dress of 80% bloom 20% veg and I have began using the tribus bloom microbes inoculant at every watering. I will also be making banana peel tea to feed a boost this week.
I should have gotten a trellis net, lesson for the next grow… fat colas everywhere with no signs of pest or mold. Tricromes haven’t began to show amber as yet.
Will harvest tomorrow morning, so this is my last photo dump of it growing. Grow was less stressful than my last and I am hoping it continues to progress that way.
