CFL Cab 3rd Run - 1 sqft - 5 Plants - 115w

C

cork144

hello blynx, ive read your topics on your sqft gardens, and your inspiring me to fill my cab more lol!, allthough im going to be doing a 250 hog, im also going to be doing 5 plants in my 1.3sqft cab.

ive been reading about your worries of the empty spot where the square containers meet, ive come up with an idea which could work for you also, 3L cider bottles here in the uk cut down to 2L bottles, theyre wider than other drinks bottles and i can fit 5 in my cab.

one bottle in each of the four corners then a 5th meeting in the middle.

with topping each plant to have 3 colas, the area shoulkd get filled well.

Nine weeks into flower

My camera broke and the only replacement I had at the time (which is 2 megapixels more and 5 years newer) takes crummy pics.

To be honest I'm guessing I'm going to get less than before just because of the 'wasted' space in the middle where the 4 boxes meet. Guess we'll see in a week :)

I do plan on running 3 in each container, but it probably won't be the next round. I took a bunch of cuts but they didn't/haven't rooted in time to get that going.

I'm not exactly sure what strains, nor how many plants total will be run this next round.

I will probably stick with the gallon goldfish containers the next round no matter what/how many I run.

Well 144.55g wet is very nice and surprising. I thought for sure I would be struggling to even match the last round, but that one only yielded 94.79g wet.

I still think that 3 plants in a single container would yield even more than the 2, but I will have to test that out in a future run.

Congrats on the nice harvest. 144g-75% wet weight i get around 36.14 grams.Even after stems i dont see you getting less than an ounce of dry plant material. Good show

looking great blynx, care to share any future plans on plants per container now that you've seen the results? 3 plants? 4 plants? at what point do you think you would get diminishing returns on plants vs. space/container

There really aren't any stems, I cut up all the big buds and remove them. That's why I include the picture of all the parts from the trimming.

I will say that for now I will be sticking with the Goldfish containers. I like the amount of soil they hold.

I'd really like to run 3 plants per container to see what that yields. I don't think 4 is going to work better just because of the arrangement of my cfls and I think you are going to hit the point of diminishing returns at that number. But I guess I would have to see the results of running 3 before for certain saying I wouldn't try 4.

Keep in mind that these decisions are based on the strains PBSD4 and Sour Creek, so I would have to keep running these strains with 3 or 4 in a Goldfish container to see if my hypothesis holds true.

I don't have any PBSD4 nor Sour Creek ready to go, so this next round will be with some new strains and I will probably go with 1 plant per container.

thanks, but I do think that I can pull 2oz out of 1sq ft with this cab using 115w cfl and I'll keep trying until I hit it!!! :)
