Question about pot sizes
RaS_Audiostarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi all!
First time grower here, I was wondering what's the farthest I can push my plants in their current 1 gallon containers. I am finishing in 7 gallon pots and flowering at week 7 (8 max) I want to avoid being overly rootbound in their final pots.

the more room for the roots the better your harvest will be. in one gallon you could go about 6 weeks in veg with comfort, 7 weeks roots are getting bigger and taking up more room,
you are at 3 going on 4, i would transplant in to the 7 gallons at about 5-6 and you will have room in the 7 gal for longer veg if you wanted to go 8 plus weeks. once you go in to flower in the 7 gals you should get a great harvest but that all depends on how long you veg and how big you want her

You could push them all the way to the end, but they definitely would get root bound. I would transplant asap. They are able to handle the bigger pots now and the sooner you do it, the easier it will be on the plants.

Another week maximum, and even a week i don't know because they seem a couple days away from being transplant viable.

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?Week 11

However, what "works" can often be different from the recommendations. Has anyone used an STS solution they made after 2months? 6 months? How did it go?Other. General questions

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?Week 7

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
