7 gallon pot?( outdoor grow)

[kevubitch]

I aready started my grow outdoors im in the east bay area
I have 3 GSC 1GDP 1 Lambs Bread 1 cherry kush 1 Purple Kush i have them all in 7 gallon pots with FFOF is 7 gallon buckets a good size to have them in?? And what could i expect to yield from them?

 

[petert]

Too many variables to guess on yield. Maybe 3-6 oz a plant? could be more, could be less.

If im trying to yield atleast 8oz a plant how big a pot do i need i can grow up to 20 plant where i am so i can put out some more in bigger pots

The bigger the pot...the bigger the plant. Some people use 100 gallon pots. A good 20-30 gallon pot would make for real nice plants though.

I grew MK in 5 gal pots started April 1 from seed last year and I got 4oz each in So Cal and I LSTd em..adjust for your weather you will prolly need like 12-15 gal...10gal if you LST maybe

7 gallons isnt much for outdoor,youll have to water them heavily every day once they get bigger and the small size of the pot will eventually stunt the growth. A rough estimate is one ounce of bud per gallon of medium.

Thanks for the feedback i think ill jst put a few more out ima search around for some strains that yield larger

I had a nice grow using 7gallon root pots but they air pure the roots and plastic pots don't. I also only averaged about 3-4 oz per plant. This year I am going to try 15 or 20 gallon root pots.

Im going to try atleast one plant in one of those 20gal pots the thing is i stay in oakland and the neighboors yards fence is short if i grow some big females i have a chance of getting ripped

Try super cropping, cropping, LST, or even a SCROG to keep your plants shorter

 

[ginnithead]

ya and by super cropping you should get a bigger yield. lolliepoping them aswel might be a good move to make for a bigger yield.

What he said! ^^^

you really don't need to lollipop outdoors IMO you're just cutting off yield.. I think lollipop is made for indoors

Just transplant up in pot size before flower.

7 gal might hit the goal, I grabbed about 4 oz of bud of a plant I had seeded in 10 gal, so I'd imagine without the seeds you could get 8. If you can grab something a little bigger and an extra bag of soil, I would. Transplanting from 7 to 10 seems kind of silly to me.

Thanks for the replies,, i will try super cropping and LST when they are bigger only to some and see how it goes i will learn more this year and be ready for next year season,, i will be picking up more clones and digging 12 gallon holes and try the trash bag in the ground thing

 

[Jozikins]

Trashbags in the ground eh? Well shit, if my new pad didn't have such a bad gopher problem I'd be busting that out this season. Not so eco friendly, but it'd get more use out of any garbage bag I've used before.

 

[kevubitch]

Yea either that or bigger pots or maybe just build a raised bed

 

[pinkjackyle]

go to dollar store & get some 30 gallon totes drill some holes in bottom, nice n cheap potts .

 

[TWS]

why the trash bag ?
