The last time i grew (first time) in here i just put in 2 X Eso Artisinal Gelato from 1 gallon well rooted pots (Trade gallons so .7 actual gallons).
I put them direct in the 45 (Dig a whole the size of the 1 gallon, hit it with a bit of mycos and plunk it in and press it down).
#1 yielded 4 1/2 oz of BUDS....#2 is around 2 to 3 oz of buds.
I am impressed. And I had no idea what the hell i was doing. Man I think these BIG planters are way more fun than i was expecting. And they are not limited to 1 plant. You can grow a monster or veg out 3 X 1 gallons until mature and topped once or twice and they take off in bloom in the big planters.
I will order some European Nightcrawlers to equally spread among the 2 X 30 and 45 gallon planters.
I have also made a big decision, I am not going to back off of making seeds. I can do it in the 30s and 45s just as well (plant 4 per pot.... whatever).
And I have something very special, that I love. And it is the best gut meds in my arsenal.
Pre 2000 Godbud F3s. I wish to take these to F6 in my spare time and then see what it can do.
F6 Godbud X Cherries....Grapes......not orange because man that would be terrible....ok oranges too..
Blue Dream...Purple Punch....GG4 all carry the 1 terp i can not get in Godbud...so I could have a lot of fun.
Why not. The garden should be fun. It should be a place of wonder and amazement and when it stops being that, and becomes drudgery its time to get in count...allegedly.
My power bill thanks me. And yet the jars are still full.
