I am curious to see what everyone else is using in their setups. I do not quite have the space to grow the monster size plants sub does, so I was interested to see what every one else has adjusted to.

Veg: 4x2x3 space under 2x 4ft T5HO 2bulb fixtures.
Flower: 4x4x6 space under 1k (tent)

Strain: TGA apollo 13bx

Clone:(after roots show)
1gal smart pot, 50% ss - 50% ocean forest, 4 weeks

VEG:(1gal xplant to 3gal)
3gal smart pot, 100% SS, 4 weeks

FLOWER: (xplant 3 to 7gal smart pot)
Begining 5th week xplant to 7gal
, 100% SS
WAIT one week, for root devlopment and put in 12/12.

with this method, apollo stays green through out, and only get yellowing in the last 2 weeks. No top dressing. I feed with water, except day 35 and 45 get budcandy and molasses.

I use homemade smart pots......In veg, they are square to utilize every inch of space, and they have a velcro side for easy transplant.
Just before flower, I put them in 7 gallon homemade smartpots. I changed the dimensions to be slightly taller and narrower. The smart pot brand 7 gal pots would not fit into my 14" saucers. If I went larger on those, I would have to lose a plant.

Currently, plants go directly from transplant into 12/12 because I grow perpetually and my veg area wont allow such a big pot. That is my next planned change. I am planning to change it to four plants.....started at the same time and just allow the finish times to stagger a bit. This way I can allow the roots to grow into my pot for a week or two before the 12/12 flip. Even the way I currently do it, I have roots growing out the bottom in less than a week.

Super soil went away, but I was pretty liberal with it when I did use it. I do more of a ROLS no-till method now. Never liked the overpriced, bottled carbs like budcandy. Molasses is fine and if you really want to go fancy, I think Korean Natural Farming IMO cultures are way better.
