Re: Hi all, just a little about me and why I’m growing!
Has anybody ever finished a grow in a 12L fabric pot as it’s final pot, I was told on the phone they’re the best thing to grow in as they're excellent for root mass, so I used a 1L fabric pot then into 12L but I can see roots coming through the bottom of the pot, the guy from the hydroponics shop told me 12L was a great size and if roots show poke them back in with a pen or something? Is the guy right as at the time I was like “yeah no worries that’s easy enough” but now it’s come round to it I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do so thought I’d ask some kind people with more knowledge than probably the guy from hydroponics, cheers guys!

I grow in 12l fabric pots from start to finish cause I'm lazy and don't like changing pots lol. The roots naturally air prune for me
Whoever said the best things in life are free blatantly grew their own pot

Re: Hi all, just a little about me and why I’m growing!
Sorry guys the oscillating fan that’s running in my tent is that to just run 24/7? I’ve been knocking it off on a night when the light goes off (midnight) and turning it back on around 10am, the light comes back on around 4am, I was just giving the plant a rest or is this wrong, when I go in on a morning you can see where leaves have sweated out and touching other leaves, my apologies for the silly questions guys! Gary.

It’s alright guys ignore that, I’ve found out on ‘tinternet’, i just couldn’t find an answer as such but now I know they stay on as long as temps aren’t to low or put fan on a timer to go off with lights and then back on half way through dark cycle!

Re: Hi all, just a little about me and why I’m growing!
Guys have I to take anything off the plants right do anything or just leave them be? I’m just a bit concerned about space it’s only a 1.2x1.2x2m and I’ve not yet flipped to 12/12 flower stage, all I’ve done is topped the 3 plants once (the photos I’ve just taken with the light on so plants look pretty pale, the other photos where taken last night after the light had been off for an hour and also needed water so look a little thirsty and limp so I took photo today with lights on and after been watered), thanks guys hope everyone’s safe and well!

Re: Hi all, just a little about me and why I’m growing!
Hi buddy i keep my fan on all the time but not to powerfull to give wind burn. And from time to time il wack the fans rite up to give them a good blow to strenghing those stems.
As for the 12L posts if ur in coco ul be fine buddy. Are ypu watering till coco drys abit or everyday? Once the pots have rooted like u say piercing through the pot then daily feedings will do great soon.
Usually il feed every other day in my small pots and once the pots are rooted and start to dry abit to much after 48hrs il then pot up into my 12L air pots or 16L fabric pots and feed them every other day till till they start to dry after the 48hrs (sign of pots fully rooted.) il then start daily feedings this is usually late veg.
1.2 x 1.2 tent is a good size whats the head room like? Keep lst training them bending down to stop them growing upwards and once space is almost fill flip them. My 2 pence! Good luck!
Oh its always good getting a pick just before the lights come on i find the leafs are up at this time better plant porn

Re: Hi all, just a little about me and why I’m growing!
Thanks guys, I’m growing in ‘Tropic Batmix’, it’s a very light media I believe it’s like coco but not 100%, the tent is 2m high so head rooms not bad but it’s about filled the tent, I find I’m watering every 48hrs and they’re ready for it, pots are pretty light, and with me loosing the tent pretty quickly I didn’t want to have a struggle if I put them into flower, but for now just LST yeah? Thanks kindly for the help, I’ve been trying to write this out last few days but been struggling with head and eyes so sorry for the late reply it’s much appreciated, Gary!
