Sea of green

[tommo]

Hey all, hows it growing . Well i decided on a seed bank, and chose a strain all thanks to the help from you guys. I just have a quick q about pot size. What size pot would i need considering i will be growing from clones (sea of green) approx 20 and on a 8 week flowering cycle. Just wondering what size pots you guys use as i only want to get the smallest pot i need I was thinking about 225mm or some thing. the only place i have been able to find cheap pots is on ebay but can only 200, 250 or 300mm pots what size would best suit my grow.

 

Thanks in advance, i wouldn't of even thought of doing anything like this if it wasn't for thins site. (don't know if thats good or bad yet ) any ways

For a SOG you'd be looking at a 150mm or 6" pot

thanks jimbo thats what i was thinking at first but wasn't sure if that would be too restricting on the root system, found these 180wide X 240 deep square pots, they have a capacity of 6 litres, do you think these would be ok, just worried about them running out of room, thanks

hey,

Check out this site you will need an abn to order direct or just goto local nursery supplier and ask them to order them in for you... Garden City Plastic's square pots Why bother looking elsewhere when they have the lot

Thanks i think i will be leaning towards the 180mm 6L size,

sea of green might sound like a great idea but if you grow anywhere but the act you should consider scrogging two or three big fuckers just in case you get raided

good looking on the link nouseforaname

 

 

im in the same boat as you tommo, im tossing up whether i should go 20 6litre pots or 6 of these 18 litre ones it would require more veg to fill the pots , so im wondering if the time spent vegging will make up in yeilds hmmm,

[tommo]

Yeah decisions, decisions. . I'm going the same way want a max of 20 clones on a 8 week flowering cycle. taking new clones every 4 weeks. I want to have 2 wardrobes (1450X900X1200high with 600HPS) with 20 clones in each one but split by 4 weeks so i can get a harvest every month or so. I'll start off a fair bit smaller than this till i get a few runs under my belt but thats the goal any way. After a lot of reading through grow diaries and other information i'm aiming for a pound a month. am i any where on the right track felow sog growers. Thanks all

hey,

Why not get the bigger pots and put 4 per pot.... check out stoneys latest growback with a vengance hes using 50 ltr pots perlite with 4 clones per pot... Dunno if they would be smart enough to realise it aint one per pot if u cross layered them??? just a thought

I used to SOG on an old NFT table which was 9 channels with 59 plants per run, and over time I dropped the numbers, which is why I cloth taped over the holes. I have since pissed off that old table and instead use a 5 channel NFT with even less plants. Point is, you can go flood and drain tables with expanded clay, or NFT, for SOG. Far less work than filling up individual small pots and having feeds to each pot, or set to a tray which floods on a timer. I guess the only thing to add is SOG sure puts your numbers up, esp. in the window period where you're a couple of weeks from a chop and in the veg zone you have another 60 or so clones, all with roots and mothers too to furnish all the striking material. ...yikes! The law looks really dim at high numbers.
