Thank you so much for the info, been hard to get a straight answer, everybody just says "bigger is better" Please take a look at my thread and tell me what you think of my cab. I'm shooting for a perpetual harvest SOG in 2 liter bottles. Hoping to harvest 6 plants for a total of 1.5oz every 2 weeks. I would love some input from you as it seems you really have this SOG in small containers down quite well. Thanks.

Bicycle racer - Glad to help when I can...which isn't often :mrgreen: I wish I could answer definitively about weight with trimmed (lollippopped) vs. un-trimmed. I'm running a few both ways this time to check. My gut tells me that both may be very close to equal in the end, but the concentration of weight on the larger main cola of the trimmed will save a ton of trimming time not having to worry about the popcorn.

kittybitches - I usually water my 2 liters every other day, alternating between reg. water, feeding, and molasses. I mix a light soil though with drainage such that overwatering isn't an issue. I'll sometimes let them go 3 days just to push them a bit. With the 16oz. cups, it's every day.

P@sswOrd - No problem at all, I'll definitely get by your thread later today and catch up.

Bizzler - Those look great man, can't wait to see them blow up!

Peace -OGH

i lollipopped them all a little bit the lowest buds seem to be a waste of plant energy.i now have upgraded to 1100 watts 2 400w hps and 8 42w cfl's. so it is less of an issue now regarding lower foliage but i will probably still trim:peace:

1gal is good dude. i have a closet sog going under one 400watt enhanced hps light. i use the 1 gal cuz my plants finish at about 18''-20'' when i flower at 12'' and a gal seems to be enough...also u can fit more plants in ur sog when they are smaller. my mindset in sog has always been the more plants the better...just try and fit as many as u can under that light. another thing u might wanna try is a scrog(screen of green) that way u can maximize ur 400 watts. whats strains are u growing. i have limited knowlege of indoors but it sounds like we have a similar garden. i may be able to pass on some tips and tricks, also if u have anything that is working well im always open. good luck happy harvests! :blsmoke:

one thing you could use is the 1 gal jug of Mott's apple juice. after you cut the top off you'll end up with a more volume Then the cylinder shaped 3 liter soda bottles. The mouth opining is big enough that you could get a small clone into it and use all the space but you’ll need to cut out the soil so I don’t bother.
Anyone else know a good place to get the right size pots?
