pot size to yield 1-2lbs? - Page 3 - Growing in Greenhouses - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Sinkyone · 06-03-2013, 06:48 AM

To hit a mere 1-2 lbs per pot outdoor veg time is irrelevant unless you are incompetent. I've hit those number planting mid July with 6" clones giving them nothing more than a good soil mix and water. Genetics, environment and the care the plant gets is far more important. If you don't believe pot size has any impact try a little size by side experiment and see what happens. Anyone who claims pot size does not matter very obviously does not know what the fuck they are talking about or how to properly grow cannabis. Even in veg the difference is like night and day - a plant in a 5 gallon will veg much, much faster and get far larger than the same plant in a 1 gallon. Cannabis does not like to have it's roots restricted. If you want big, fast growing healthy plants give them space and then watch them explode.

I was able to get mine in july 12th. in 5 gallon smart pots. I will post in a couple months when i harvest with how much per. I also have some 30 gallons. Currently the ones in the 5 gallon smart pots are between 4-5.5 feet tall and the 30 gallon ones are all over 7 feet. im not sure if that is right or good. this is my first time. but documentation is wonderful!

If you look at the big time guys on the west coast who do this full time all year, they are starting their gear in Feb or March. I didn't see Schrews planting 6" clones

Curious as the the consensus oppinion is on veg time needed in order to reach a 1 Lb harvest in a greenhouse?

Depends on strain, environment.

That's fairly difficult to say because daily sunlight is different at every latitude, and even different locations in your own yard. But just aggregating commonly accepted knowledge, most tree growers pop beans or root clones starting in march and put them outside whenever your environment allows it. Personally I have hit 1lb plants with plants going outside on June 1st at 18" tall and into 45 gallon pots. Everybody's answer is a little different. Veg the plants as big as you can, buy the biggest pots your budget allows, water and feed them appropriately and you'll get what your after.

I was actually expecting this answer to be as varied as the oppinion on pot size, but thought it would make for a fun read.

I hit 1 + 1/4lb with at least a 1/4lb of bottom bud that got blasted.

That was 65gals, first year GH, shaded cover, and lots of mistakes. I can't imagine how anyone could not hit a p in 45's and up

Also container diameter is more important than the container depth. You can do something like get a 100 gallon smart pot and fill it with 65 gallons of soil

depends.. coco u could get a pound off 5-10 gallons.. I just had a plant weigh out 8.23oz in 3 gallons of coco hand watered! and not nearly enough to take advantage of the coco like I could with a drip system..
