hornet Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 First time poster here, just a quick question on pot size. A few years ago i was growing afghani and hindu kush, i was growing them in 140mm pots, good quality potting mix in good lighting in my orchid house. I'm assuming due to the pot size the plants would only get 15-20cm tall at max. I'm now getting back into cultivation, unfortunately i no longer have the pure strains any more so will just be growing bag seed. Again i will be growing outdoors. I plan to germinate indoors in jiffy pots then transplant outside into larger pots. Dont want anything too big just to make hiding a little easier if need be. What pot size would be recommended?

Ferrethead Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Check out as many grow journals as you can and look into what they're using for their specific situation. Horses for courses.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 start off in small pots, then maybe 8ltr, then anything up to 50ltrs. i try to keep transplants down to two or three, less stress. I'm assuming due to the pot size the plants would only get 15-20cm tall at max. It could be strain dependant on pot size. I have seen some pretty tall plants in 15 ltr pots. 1.5 mtrs to 2.5 mtrs. they stretch a bit when in flower also. go to cannaversity and find stuff on lst (low stress training) if you are worried about height.

hornet Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 the height wasnt a huge issue, was living with my mum at the time and just meant they were easier to hide but gave piss weak yeilds. I was growing hundu kush which is a naturally small gorwing variety i hear but in only 1.5litres of soil they were quite stunted which was expected. might try 320mm pots next time (15litres) giving 10x the amount of soil to get a better yield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOSTOK Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I use 15 liter grow bags with great success, the tree grows to about 1 meter high, how ever a lot does depend on what species and type you wanna grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
