Mephisto Genetics Duckster does Mephisto

Aren't they celebrities too - at least in their minds.

In the minds of our Founding Fathers. It was to have citizen representatives not career politicians. I believe Americans are pissed and no matter who American's support. There is a movement to stop it.

Duckster, you use 3gal pots correct? Could I ask you what the exact dimensions of those pots are?

 

[Duckster]

I use the airpot with the yellow base. They say that is the 3gal / 7.5liter equivalent but list the actual volume as 2.4gal / 9.2liter (weird). The outside pot dimensions are 11"H x 10.5"D

Thanks man, I'm looking into the idea of a small sog using either 3gal airpots, or 2gal plastic grow bags, I'd be able to do ~9 of the 3gal air pots, but ~20 of the 2gal grow bags. Debating which would provide better total yields

fyi I'd be using something like sourcrack with the low height, and average yield of 1-1.5oz per plant which would be perf in a sog, any suggestions or ideas?

Sounds crowded - how big is your grow area?

 

[HMR]

It'd be a 2.5' x 2.5' area, very aware of the tight spacing, so I'll probably go with the 9 pots over 20 grow bags, btw, each grow bag is 6.5" x 6" that's why they are able to be so tightly spaced

 

[HMR]

It's not at all a for sure thing as of yet, still have a lot of planning, and the box has to be constructed still, but I'm slowly planning everything so if all goes well I'll be ready to assemble everything

My space is 2' x 3' so yours is just a little bit bigger (.25'). My space is crowded with 3 girls. I can't imagine trying to cram 20 or even 9 plants in there. Sour Crack would be a good choice for a SOG as they are fairly short but they tend to be on the bushy side. My current SC at 40 days is 13.5" tall but has a 18"D. You got to give them a little room to spread out. You could probably fit 6 or even 9 of the 2gal bags in there but your per plant yield will probably suffer. Your total yield would probably be just as good doing 4 plants. If you really want to do lots of small plants, go with even smaller pots. Check out grows by @Spanglish, he did grows in 1liter and 3liter pots (I think). He was growing in a cardboard box 2 plants at a time with some nice results.

I'll do a lot of experimenting with it just to figure out what works best. Probably gonna be going with a 400w Mars II, or 600w Mars original series for lighting. Personally I don't think that anything less than 2gal would be acceptable for an auto, so I'm not sure how low I'd like to go with the pot size either. I'll try it with a lot of trial and error, and maybe I'll be able to pull some really good yields with a high number sog, but I'll just have to experiment I guess. There also might be a few different strains which would work great in that environment, such as one with just a single large cola, or one large cola with small branches, just a matter of finding the perfect strain for the situation
