Friends, I have a question, could you help me with this? I have a 40x40x120 cm (height) tent and I would like to know if you recommend using 8 L pots for two plants in that tent. I plan to do Lollipopping and SCROG. I’m doing aggressive LST, and that applies there, and to finish with this, well, with the SCROG net and Lollipopping. But I would like to know if it’s necessary to use 11-15 L pots for flowering or if the 2.5-liter ones I have now are fine. I would have them vegetating until the end of February to move them to flowering in the first week, and then do Lollipopping, then change them to the 8 L pots, which would be the final ones, to avoid stressing them in the process. Would that be enough to get a good bud density? The LED I’m using is a Mars Hydro TS600.
I’m leaving you some pictures of the tent and the plants so you can see more or less and have a detailed idea of how the process would be and if I really need 10-11 liter pots or if I can do it in 8 L pots. Of course, my preference is to get very dense, long, and fat buds, but one per branch, and more or less if one or another lateral branch comes out through the SCROG net, great, but for now I’m thinking of four or five branches per plant.
This is the total space. The Mars Hydro hasn’t arrived yet, but most likely on Tuesday. In the meantime, I’ve had them like this with an emergency light on for almost a week.
Yes, I think so. With one, you should easily fill the tent. I had 9 pots with 6 liters in a 60x60 tent and could hardly slow them down. With 120 height, you have to subtract 30 for the lamp, and the pot is also a good 20. That means your plant must not exceed the 70 cm limit, otherwise you will run into problems.
Honestly, if I wanted to leave both in 8L, switch to flowering, and perform pruning and defoliations to get good colas… Perhaps something from your experience resonates that it can be done, my plants are super flattened by aggressive early LST… maybe that can help leave two on each side, 5/5 branches per plant, and one or two that go through the future scrog net??
That’s how they are, the image is old but something like that flattened, and I was thinking of guiding the main branches to the ends and thus hardening the stem and making it thicken… and once the plant is almost filling the net, I’ll switch to flowering so that the stretching starts before passing through the scrog net… select potential tops and prune those that are not, air out the bottom part obviously, and selective defoliation of fan leaves (Strategically) what do you think of the plan, my friend?
