They wont choke out as long as you got good air inside they will get thicker and thicker amongst themselves. But, bigger tote for bucket lots more air and cool water temps 2 lb plants can be achieved. Cheers

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?
Plant fell over and squashed against itself. The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down. I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce. I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Fog cloner ?
Made this little fog cloner with some stuff I had around. I am hoping to run it with only the fogger. Has anyone ran one of these without an airstone or fan blowing into it? Trying to keep it as simple as possible.

Honey for root growth.
Wondering if anyone has ever used honey to promote rooting when planting germinated (cracked) seeds. Read that honey helps as a natural root enhancer. Only tried once so far as a test but seems not to hurt the seed, if dont do anything else. Wondering if anyone else does this?

Substrate moisture retention
Worried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?

Should I repot at day 18?
Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!

Outdoor ideas
Quick question to any guerrilla growers: I have found an ideal location that’s good for light and hidden. But when I dig the soil down about 1ft water starts to appear, any ideas because I really don't want to have to give up the location because of it... Sawn off pots? Maybe
