3' x 3' plants in 8 litre pots coco DTW

[toblue]

Had a bit of an experiment for this grow decided to try 8 litre pots and feed 4-5 times daily. so far it all looks good, at this point in the grow I won't be going any bigger in pot size for next grow but time will tell. They still have just under 4 weeks to go.
The plants are approximately 3ft high by 3 ft wide.

Mate gave me 10 Humboldts Black Dog clones. I was only going to grow 7 of them but couldn't bear to throw the other 3 out. Looks like it will be a while before I need to grow anymore.

The clones were taken from an unproven mother (at the time) mate has since discarded the mother as the ones he grew were poor yielders.

Also defoliated heavy at flip and then very heavily (bin bag full) at 2.5 weeks after 12/12. Again something new for me so will see how that works out,

Great work in there mate, lovely canopy. I’ll be trying smaller pots and more feeds next time. I used to do 18 or 25 litres but could only usually get one feed in per day as they weren’t drying out at all.

Thanks Cantona.

Must admit I have had a bad case of salt build up in bigger pots letting them dry out and only watering once each day.

With smaller pots I do think multiple watering is a must, so you need an automated system.

Don't have a diary mate but could start a mid grow one. I have done a few things different this time so it may be of some interest.

I really like the drain system setup, and your pot stands, I'm just starting to grow again in some dirt, and it's obvious by the stems your system is working well

Is this dirt or just a growing medium?
Is there a fancy name for your pot stand? I was thinking of a diy with oil drain pans but yours is much better, and they don't seem to high.
