Homer's Legal 4-Plant Max Perpetual Minimalist Garden In Ontario

Nice move taking the nodes and leaving the fans! I try to encourage that on smaller plants.

Once you get the hang of growing, pot size and veg time are your limiting factors.

Thanks, Shed; I actually think I picked that tip up from you somewhere to leave some fans.

Hmm... I wonder if I am limiting my harvest because of my pot size? I could bud my new generation for as long as the last generation takes to bud so usually about 10 to 12 weeks even though I have been waiting a few weeks. If I did veg the whole 10 to 12 weeks what size pot would you use?

 

[InTheShed]

I wanna say 10 gallons for that. My big ones veg over 100 days in 10g and they're root bound by harvest.

 

[The Bard]

Yes, they seem to want more food!! I just upped it to 7.5g/gal today since I am not getting any hint of burned tips. Pics requested below with no burples on day 33 of flower. Happy VD day to you too buddy.



Encouraging you agree Penny because I just took a flying leap on the word of some cranky old guy but he seemed pretty certain and didn't care if anyone believed him but was just say'in how it is, lol.

White Widow on the left and Cannatonic on the right.

White Widow looking pretty frosty!!

Next generation up-potted today; Dinamed closest and Critical in background. It struck me it isn't very minimalist to start off in a smaller pot and then up-pot so from now on I will be using Sauga's method of putting seedlings right into the big 5-gallon pot as soon as the seed cracks open from soaking in water.

Beautiful looking plants. So shiny!!

I like that example because it works out to about 1 gallon per 10 days of veg. If I go 10 to 12 weeks that is 70 to 84 days so I probably should at a minimum be using a 7 gallon. I am kind of conflicted because I want to see how much I can grow legally with four plants and yet I am already growing way more than I need and I would have to buy bigger pots and trays to grow more cannabis I don’t need just to see how much I can grow. If that makes any sense, LOL. Once again Shed thanks for the great info.

But I just really want to see how much I can grow legally so I may.

Sell what you can’t use to help pay your grow bill.

Thank you, Bard. So far so good, fingers crossed.

Yes, that is an excellent idea but the gov't made that illegal when they legalized it. It is quite the scam up here; lots of very conservative politicians who were totally opposed to legalization and spent their careers passing and enforcing anti-cannabis laws are the biggest investors in grow ops so we can't have people stealing their profits by selling to each other.

 

[Pennywise]

Don’t tell them, we’ve been outlaws here for 50 years.

Oh yeah! The illegal dispensaries here are being shut down almost before they can open. Now that the big money boys, and government are hauling in the dollars, no one else is allowed to tap into that revenue stream.

Just like booze.

 

[Pennywise]

Yep, they already know how to maximize their profit.

Warning, warning!!! Nutes Overload in Progress!!!!

I have been carefully watching my tips because I have been pushing the MegaCrop to 7.5g/Gal and I am finally getting some very minor tip burning on some leaves so since 7.0 was ok and 7.5 was too much I am just going to drop it to 7.25mg/gal.

 

[Pennywise]

Or 7.0 would be fine, they're still rockin.

That probably makes more sense but Sauga's Pineapple Express bud size has me thinking really pushing it pays off big time but obviously I don't really know. Also since I am not using any additives I feel I should push it but you probably know best.

 

[Pennywise]

I don't know Mega Crop so can't say for sure.

 

[InTheShed]

I'm pretty much working in half gram increments so I'd go down to 7.0, but keep an eye on the tips and see how they do at 7.25. For science!

It's the half-split method of troubleshooting

 

[Homer Simpson]

I was really leaning Penny’s way but your, for science, really struck a nerve. I admit I am just plain curious to see what the max is. I know going back to seven is probably smarter but it’s not often I am accused of that.

They are looking good though. That is my White Widow on day 37 of budding. The photo below is my Critical a few days after being topped and getting trimmed filling in nicely.
