I have always known that cutting the bottoms off my pots to allow further elevation when transplanting produces more per plant than my regular method or elevated transplanting. This thread demonstrates this principle using 2 seed grown Sweet Cindy plants. Only one was double potted the old way while the others were all done my normal way. It just became a hassel to run out of pots so I changed but this makes me reconsider. Perhaps this one was the best of the plants but all 5 of the others look pretty much the same as the regular transplanted plant and they are also shown in my current dual demo thread of Sweet cindy and Bogbubble in my demo forum.
I didn't want any of you to miss this though so this is being done before my absence for you to ponder.
In those first two pics you see the regular plants with the special double potted plant in the 2 plant pic. Thats the one on the left. Below...
This pic coming is one of the regular potted ones at 4 weeks flowering and those plants are doing fine too. They were transplanted from the 2 gallon pots to 4 gallon pots when sex was identified. They had my normal slightly elevated transplanting.
But now at 5 weeks in flower it has become evident that without any topping or training that the double potted plant will outyield the others by a long shot. Possible as much as double!
What ya think?
5 weeks pics...
Note the potting on the left. The sleeves can be kept to place on the rootballs later without cutting more pots. Save the cut pots to transplant into again later and once you have enough it is no waste.
The difference is evident but it was the best plant and these werent clones. I can say that this method does excell over normal transplanting and I hope you will test my theory for yourself.
It could be done on a smaller or larger scale too but what do you figure I may yield from that one big one? It was only vegged like 6 weeks and it has only 4 gallons of soil in the pot. BOG
This is not a contest, it is a tutorial.
