Inside The Mini-Tent, 150W LED, Going Coco For Tropicanna Bananna

[Trala]

There's more tucking going on in my tent than backstage at a drag show. It's like containing the hulk with a tea towel

How many days since flip and how much headroom do you have above the net?

Hello, Mr. Krip Its an honour to have you here!

So the lights were flipped last Monday, so technically today is day 8 of Flower. And I'd say I have roughly 90cm above the net. So things are tight!

That thing sure bushed out, youre doing a great job so far!

Thank you, and it's a pleasure to have you here!

Day 10 of 12/12

Hello, everyone.
Just a small update just to show where Anna is today. She just gets bigger and bigger everyday and is fighting against the net. She does not like to be contained!
In the photo below you can see that the net has started to swell in the middle as she pushes up against it:

Here is one from above:

She a pain in the arse to tuck. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to start to secure her to the net so when I do eventually stop tucking and let her grow through it, she doesn't just straighten her branches and make the whole scrog pointless.

Here is a photo of the madness under the net:

In less stressful news, she is a bonnie wee lassie and is starting to flash her bits, dirty wee midden. But her tops are starting to look like flowers!

So we're definitely getting somewhere!

By my estimations, I have at least another 10 days of keeping her subdued under the net before I let her take off vertically. And then after that point it should be 45 (ish) days of watching her fatten up and grow some tasty nugs. Supercropping will likely have to be done at some point but we'll tackle that when it comes. At the moment I just want to focus on tucking and keeping her healthy.

That's all, folks.

I hope you and your gardens are thriving

Nice tucking, should be a nice relatively flat canopy.

Thank you, PW, that's what I'm aiming for!

She looks lovely

That song would be more appropriate if I wasn't so worried and overly concerned haha!

Thank you, TraLa. I can't say I'm not proud of how healthy she's been through the grow. I'm not sure if it's just hardy genetics that shine through my shite growing and not actually me, but I think I'm set for some pretty banging smoke. Just in time for my birthday, too

Hello everyone,

Not an update, I'll throw one of those up tomorrow.
I'm currently thinking of my next run in this tent. I have the last two TropBan seeds and a cookies kush but I'm thinking of saving them for a big tent 3 plant scrog that I should get up and running by the end of this year.

I'm wondering if I could squeeze 3 or 4 small autos into the tent in 1 gallon fabric pots. I'd love to have multiple harvests in the year and the option to have a CBD auto in the tent now and again while still growing some THC laden ladies would be ideal, as I have some family that would benefit from some CBD edibles and oils. I'd be happy to scrape an ounce off of each plant, if that's even possible. But the variety of terpenes and cannabinoids really appeals to me.

Let me know what you think!

With autos I’d use the biggest deepest pot you can get away with. An auto in a 1 gallon pot willl probably disappoint you.

My thinking is that I'll have very little space and the combined harvest from a few small plants should come close enough what I'm doing now, with an accepted decrease in harvest.
I've seen autos grown in small containers before that have yielded quite well. I wonder if maybe just a pot size up would be bigger.

Or how about 4 autos in 1 large pot?

 

[Pennywise]

I’ve done 2 in a 10 gallon and worked fantastic.

How big did your girls get?
I'd be looking for genetics that state its smaller than 80cm

 

[Pennywise]

Over a pound from those 2.

Wow! That's 2 plants? Absolute beasts!
Would that even fit in my tent?!

 

[Pennywise]

That was in a 4x4

I don't think that would fit my tent. It would tear the seams!

I'm thinking small and humble haha

Lol ok fair enough, could you do 3 gallon pots?

I have another of the 3 gal fabric pots that my current girl is in. I think I might be able to squeeze another in there. Limited with the 40cm2 space

 

[Pennywise]

I just like bigger pots lol
Use what you can.

I get it though.
Bigger plant pot = bigger pot plant

Bring on the years that I can do this without discretion!
