    That can happen???

    Assuming 1oz per litre of pot size leaves a safety margin. I went down to 5L for the cupboard because I didn't want them too tall. The autos finished at 1 metre and gave 3.5oz each. I was happy enough with that.

    As long as it's single digits, I'd rather have more plants than less. Easier to chop the runt if it's crowded than magic one up out of thin air if the canopy is sparse.
    Everyone told me I'd start going through more after my first harvest. I told them to kick rocks as I know how much I smoke. I owe everyone an apology, mate. hahah

    I like this idea of being able to cull and not being able to "magic one up". You're always clutch with practical information and ideas, Farmer. I salute you.

    Cheers,

    When I first started growing my usage went up about 50% - but these days it's back where it was originally

    ...but who wants to live from harvest to harvest?!

    No one!

    It just so happened that I quit drinking completely about a week before harvest.
    That may have something to do with the consumption increase of at least 100%.

    Anyone know of a non-alcoholic Everclear so I can make a tincture? LMAO.

    When I was caning it, I was going through almost 2kg a year. 6'x6' 9 plant scrogs twice a year. My consumption has dropped a lot. An ounce or so a month does me now.

    Now that I'm growing in a cupboard rather than the cellar, it's like starting over as the climate is different and somewhat seasonal.

    2kg is some serious damage mate. That's roughly 5.5 grams per day. While I've certainly had THOSE days, I can't imagine it back to back.

    You planning on rebuilding in a larger space again?

    I was partial to the low setting on my vape. It goes through bud fast. I've misplaced that vape somehow, probably for the best.

    The scrog trolleys were built for easy disassembly and reassembly but I don't have much wind power now. 10 minutes of pottering and I'm needing a break. After the break, finding the motivation to get going again doesn't always happen that day. Sorting the cupboard out took me weeks and it was less than a days work in total.

    Sort of on my bucket list is to do an open plan vertical lighting grow down there. 10 foot wide so just enough for 8 plants in a circle around a naked bulb. I've done vertical before but was inexperienced. It was fascinating to watch them grow. As they were free to grow outwards, they kept a safe distance from the bulb, no burning. One cola took up residence a few inches directly under the bulb. The grow looked like a bowl of green.

    Now that's a full canopy.

    Feeding them must have been fun.

    I could easily fill a 3x3 tent with one plant growing in Coco and yield between 12 or 16 oz for that plant. When you're growing in Coco you can get really big, so you might want to avoid the XXL size plants.

    They will stay smaller if you do any significant training, so more than one plant you probably should be ready to do some training.

    You want to shed some light when the time comes? Sheesh. If I could grow that weight in my space, well I'd never need to buy another seed ever. I've been thoroughly talked out of 4.

    Hope you have some time in August to chime in jingo. You've seemed to become the master of micro grows. Solo cups outperforming my five gallons and all... In

    Cheers
