Day 58

 

[bakEQuatorial]

Yo growbros....been a while since I dropped into LS. Hope everyone is staying safe.

I need some input if possible. Am planning my next grow right now. Will have a 5x5 and a 4x8.

Will begin with 10 autos in the 4x8. 9 in 5 gallon fabric pots and 1 will be in a 3 gallon Growpito pot. My autos usually finish around late day 80s to early 90s.

When the autos in the 4x8 reaches around day 45, I’ll start 4 photoperiods in the 5x5. 3 will be 5 gal fabric pots and I have another 10 gallon fabric pot that I can either reserve for a bigger strain or split it into 2 x 5 gallon pots.

When the photoperiods reaches around Day 35 to 40, I plan to take cuttings from each plant before flipping them. Hopefully healthy enough to take 5-6 from cuttings each plant. I hope to have an around 50% or more success rate. By this time, the autos are nearing done. Some may even be done by then. By the time the clones are ready for transplant, the 4x8 tent should be empty, hopefully. Even if there are some odd ones that take too long, they can easily fit with some small clones for at least a week or two.

The plan is to veg the clones a bit and flower them all in the 4x8, without further transplanting. Whether or not I take further clones will depend on the quality from the 5x5.

Overall, how far off am I with this plan?

How long do I veg the photos in the 5x5? I’m thinking no more than 6 weeks? Especially since I’ll be using only 5 gallon fabric pots from start to finish, with option of 1 x 10 gallon pot. Don’t wanna mess with transplants. I’m good with watering small plants in big containers.

Will I not be able to get good clones with a 5-6 week veg time?

Assuming I get some good success rooting my cuts (hot/humid weather on my side), how do I plant them in the 4x8? It’s definitely gonna be soil but how big a container?

I only have lots of 5 gallon fabric pots. But I do have 4 x 20 gallon and 4 x 25 gallon fabric pots too. Do I plant 3-4 cuttings each into the 4 x 20 gallon round bags, or do I give individual 5 gal pots to each clone, maybe not potting up fully? I understand the inconvenience of watering so many pots but I’m cool with that.

I have to plan in advance since I’m using soil, gotta mix and cook them a bit.

Really appreciate all the input I can get!

I am really sick today so it is hard to concentrate on your plan! Just a couple of things I see that might be troublesome.
veging photos more than 4 weeks can be problematic with plants that get too tall for a tent - girth also. They can get big! Some of the pots are too big to move around easily if needed. If the soil shifts in the pots you can damage roots.

I think the best clones come from mothers a little older than 5 or six weeks.

Thanks brother! I hope you feel better real soon. Tis not the season to fall sick. Ohh…the what its are worse than the symptoms LOL

I understand what you mean. But its a 1.5m x 1.5m x 2m (5x5×6.5) tent with only 4 plants. Thats at least 6sf per plant. I don't suppose space will be an issue? As for height, I will top and train. I'm pretty good with that. With a close to 7ft tent, should be easy. I had less than 5ft before this, although i only grew Autos.

I don't mind vegging longer to get good clones. I'm only worried that the 5gal fabric pots, even when filled to the brim, will get rootbound in flower. Cos i really don't wanna transplant lol!

Realistically, in 5 gal fabric pots, how long or how tall (i can count horizontal height even if i train) should I Veg photoperiods hybrids that stretches between 30%-50% according to breeder?

Say I wanna grow the 4 photo plants each in 5 gal pots, from start to finish, in a 5×5 tent, and successfully get at least 3-4 cuttings from each plant to root, when should I best take them cuttings?

If I manage to do the above, I should end up with around 12 rooted clones waiting for transplant after around 2 weeks. 3 clones from each plant in the 5×5. How do you suggest I grow these 12 clones in the 4×8? I can give them all an individual 5 gal pot (don't need to be full. Maybe 3+ gals full?) cos I have the most of this size. Can easily line up 12 in the 4×8. Or use 4 × 20gallon pots to grow 3 clones in each pot. Each 20 gal pot will grow 3 clones from same plant. Will have to train them to branch outwards of pot in this case. But watering will be more convenient.

Really appreciate some advice. AFN helped me produce a good first Auto grow. I'm hoping for a good first photo run as well! Thank you so much!
