Indoor Pop22's 2015 Indoor Garden

[elsamurai]

damn pop, I could put 2 tents and my seedling cab in 1 of yours! damn bugs! hope you got the little buggers. hate them, well not all, wouldn't mind some praying guard mantis in my tent. and 25g out of a 1 gal is not a bad mark. I did the same so I have a bigger variety and so far have only hit 15 and 18 but think I'll get closer to 25 on the last 2.

I've got 22 Blue Dragon seedlings! And 1 Durrty Cheese!

I may chop the the big Dragon's Blood that hasn't flowered yet. I want the tent for the Auto Ultimate!

And yes, pretty sure I cleared out the mites, I was aggressive about it.

Update:

my babies are all doing fine. 22 out of twenty three have survived. They are now at the point where growth is taking off! A couple of weeks should show us some auto males!

Update:

Plants have tripled in size since this pic! Looking good and healthy. The small tent is empty and clean for the next grow, which will start after I get back from Kentucky next weekend. My Grow challenge plant will go in there.

In the big tent, the stubborn Dragon's Blood is flowering nicely, but she has to go. someone may take her, if not, CHOP! CHOP! and into the oil pot!
I need to get that tent cleaned up so that when I get back, I can pop an Autyo Ultimate in there! WOOOO! Can't wait!

Hey pops what size gallons pots are you using on them 22? in the pics bro, and if you had to summarize how to hit a one pounder what would your key points be? . In the past i always went for 10-15 litre pots and crammed the tent full but after being shown a friends grow recently with some huge pots only 2 in total and every time he hits 10-15 oz per lady i seen the light! nothing special on feed being used and two 600 whatt lights these are photos he grows but i got no doubt the right auto strain would provided similar results. my feeling is light / pot size / room temp / feed . Is the key to a big yields you dont have to do any thing special hes not using air pumped water special nutes sched just nice clean tent good circ room temp always 26-20 and massive pots he only vegging 4 weeks and using 600hps what your thoughts.

I'm using 2 gallon pots. I'm figuring to end up with 8-9 females. If I am successful in having autos in this generation, I'll grow 4 in 3 gallon grow bags next round, see what we can get from them!

My concept of growing a 1 pound+ plants is simple really. I plan to grow one organically in soil. When growing in soil organically, there's only one way to grow a bigger plant: use a BIGGER pot..............LOL
You also need to max your lighting. And the third component you need is enough space. I plan on scrogging the plant as that makes max use of both the space and available light.

So yes, all those fancy nutes, phony "bud enhancers", etc are totally unnecessary. In my test of House and Garden for Soil A and B, I saw no difference in plant health or size from my organically grown plants in the same grow. Size wise, they only matched the two medium size plants and one was the second smallest.
Certaqinly not a scientific test, but indicative none the less, that organics can and do equal mineral ( chemical is not an accurate label, even organic nutes are "chemical" ) .nutes

so I plan to use a 20 gallon ( 75 liter ) pot to grow my auto Ultimate. If I don't get a 1 pounder, I'll try a 30 gallon pot!!!

30 gallon pot shes a biggun i hear them cry! Will you be bothering with air pots ? can you even get air pots that are 20 gallons ? what size tent would you use and what is your idea of maxing your lighting with in the said tent ? will you only grow 1 lady in that tent or will you try for 2 3 4 ? all these question are geared to me using a similar set up i basically like to grow four 1 pounders in my 2.4x2.4x2 with my four maybe five under my four i could get a 5th in there with the winter temps 600hps.

and nice to make your acqaintance bro i read a lot your threads love you pushing the boundaries.

when you say 2.4x2.4 do you mean feet? if so, I doubt you can grow one that big in a tent that small I have 2.8FT. X 2.8FT. X5FT tent also, and I'd guess 8-10 ounces to be the limit in that space.
And in my 4'x4'x6.5' space, it will be one plant. no, i won't use airpots, I'll use my DIY self watering pot I'll post the pics here of it. i'm going to add a float valve control box and a 5 gallon water reservoir to it so that I'll only need to water once a week when she's gained size.
As to max lighting, well not this grow but by the next I hope to have a DIY Cree Cob based 800 watt light. For this grow I'll be using my Mars Hydro Reflector 192x3, for veg, then i'll change lights to a Vipar 900 watt reflector ( 435 true watts ), and a Vipar 675 watt modular light ( 325 true watts ). I may add some DIY led side lighting.

I've seen up to 150 gallon airpots used for outdoor grows.
Nice big tent! I've seen guys do vertical scrogs in that size knock down 4 pounds + with 4 plants!
