The traspiration is what concerns me. Leaves touching leaves. I think in the end it will be the removal of more fans than I'd like. But hey I'm of the firm belief you have to fuck up in order to learn. Maybe a bit overzealous this time. If I had done them all in 3 gal I think id have a bit more space to work with. Thanks OB for you honesty and straightforwardness. Its certainly beneficial to an ear willing to listen, Which is why I joined this forum. Archie had a comment yesterday of evenish canopy and I took it as a Dad saying, "you can do better kid." Thanks Archie for the push I will need for the next run.
Ah is good, love trumps everything .....
What I am noticing is the Larger the Pot the better the quality and yield per “unit spent” .... Much the same as when I crowd too many plants in my flower/veg ..... From your own dirt dig experience you know if we place radish seeds too close what happens - we still get nice leaves and when we pull we see a long root but our “Bud” - Radish - is a slender root with barely enough root to taste ....... Even in some of the finest organic gardens, plants can’t be too crowded .....
Our grow styles are different for sure but in my next LOS Grow I won’t use a Pot under 15 Gallons as I’ve learned:
1. Experienced Master Growers Said DON’T use pots under 15 gallons for LOS but thought I could do with 7 gallon and I did ok as you’ve seen with Gold Glue, it’s possible but it’s been a struggle with compost and mulch adding into Pot
2. Yield from Sam in 15 gallon pot estimate to be excess of 500 grams .... other 3 girls are in 7 gallon each so 21 gallons total and more floor / light resources BUT yield from3 pots, 21 gallons, won’t exceed single plant Sam
3. Quality and this is pure speculation but right now Sam has most Frost and Hardest and Biggest Buds, net ya they are the Best of the Bunch
Now I will grow in a Ten Gallon Pot in a Corner Living Room Setting I have under a single cob but that will be a “House Plant with Benefits” with other ground cover plants growing, I want it to be like when Company comes over it goes unnoticed and I think I can pull it off with a Gold Glue Seed I’ve got, still have a few of those gals remaining .....
Removing Leaves, hear ya on removing as little as possible, especially when they will need for food later .... Daily and even more often I inspect and be thinking ok which leaf is blocking or bla bla bla will be beneficial for the plants .... If I find water between any two leaves it’s like ok which one if not both are going to go ......
Final Word, “Kid”
Less is More,
OB
PS .... Keep up good work and that Fish Love!
