light depo

I thought about doing a small one, but didn't think schedule would permit me to be there every 12 hours to move / replace the tarps.

I kept a plant in a 5 gal smarts with just a couple months of veg it was so rootbound it went through the pot into the ground leaves and structure looked wild as duck and required me or my pal to water everyday and the yield was definitely effected

Feck I got mine in 5 gals don't have the space to upgrade. I can see how they will definitely outgrow the pots too. Shit someday I'll get this right.. I see people out here with 65 gallon making me feel very inferior lol

Haha I felt the same when I first started some of these guys have 200 gal and more! I've only ran 45 an below myself I like the 45s alot. If you can put em in the ground you'd be much better

I use smarts in case I have to move em plus I didn't know i was using this spot so i didn't have time to dig up all those holes

Whats the deal with doing that? It will never be an option up here but that sounds really cool. Is there a downside to it? I'm just wondering why these Cali farmers don't do it too then, it would eliminate the need to keep restarting

Space is too valuable to do it in Cali. Those guys are growing for a living, have plant counts or only have so much backyard space, so they have to get the most out of the space/number of plants available. Re-veg plants are kind of funky. Some say the potency is effected. Growing from seed or clones would get you a better yield.

The BIL and I are hobbyist. All we are after is some good tasting smoke. And we have a 200 acre farm with about 600 acres of other family land we can grow on. So leaving a few to reveg won't take up too much room. Never having seen it done, I would like to check it out. If they turn out good, I may do something like that with my Spring crop plants next year.

If I have a smart pot, can I transplant without taking the pot off?

Sorry about the double post but I think I got the picture upload method down now. Before it was a pain doing a picture url and using a 3rd party site

I've seen people do that before. They cut out the bottoms an place the pot on top of the new larger container. Common using rockwool cubes I think too. I have plants in 5gal bags now and have 20gal smart pots that aren't much taller but are wider so I'm going to attempt to cut away the around the bag about 4" above the bottom and transplant so it's stacked inside the smart pot. Not sure it will work but I think it would.
Anyone have any input on this?

With the smart pots the roots will go right thru no problem. I have some 20,45 and 65 gallon smart pots over holes I dug and filled with promix.

I just did this today I'll try to get pics tomorrow

@GreenThumby pics of those for ya

 

[bi polar express]

The one transplanted in the larger container was a bit bigger so it went into that one as an experiment to see if those roots will fill it out or use most an then try to go straight down through the pot it's probably as deep as the others just much wider
