2 gallon big enough for soil?

[manbearpig]

2 gallon containers big enough???

Strain: cinnamon (Female seeds), sativa
Veg: 1 week from seed germination, then flower
Light: 400 watt hps
CO2: none
medium: soil
flowering: 9-10 weeks

2 gallon containers enough?

Yes.

 

[Berry_Coughin']

Yup...

 

[darthvapor]

the general rule of thumb is 1gal for every 30day of growth

 

[Berry_Coughin']

or 1 gallon for every foot of growth

Yes... but with a sativa such as Cindy you should only veg for about 2 weeks, clones should be flowered right after they root.

Cinnamon is about the only FS strain I havent tried,I think they're still out of everything else,got my cuts just in time!I've flowered 3 ft plants in 2 gal. NSI "classic 600" containers and 4 ft plants in 3 gal NSI "classic 1200" without any negative effects watering every fourth day.NSI "classic 2000" 5 gal pots proved to be overkill even for the largest indoor girls.The heights I gave were maximum finishing heights just designed to give you an idea of what can be done,you dont have to max out plant size like I do.Also,this is with a couple transplants starting in a 4 inch pot and letting the plants get to 8-10 inches before transplanting to 2 gal.I veg in 2 gal then decide whether to flower in 2 or veg a little longer and flower in 3 gal,I'm bi in that respect I can go either way lol

American grower im choosing cinnamon not cindy99,
and yes only 1 week veg for it anyways

Grapefruit is Femaleseed's c99 strain, cinnamon is jack herer :-D

i've heard 1 gallon for every foot, not 30 days of growth, but you could be right since roots grow more and more with time.

but lets see

1 week veg, 10 weeks flower, 11 weeks total

11 x 7 = 77 days
so i technically need 2.5 gallons for the 30 day rule

i may look into upgrading to 3 gallons just to be safe

thx for the help

Thats crazy bro,you're not letting your rootballs fill your conatiners,oo that almost sounded funny..Seriously,I veg in a NSI classic 600 nursery size 2 gal(Actually 1.6 gal,until 30 inches in height before transplanting to classic 1200 3 gal.You're going to get 4 ft plants that way,24 inches would be fine.Just to give you an idea of what you can do,1 gallon per foot phooey I've vegged cuts close to 10-12 inches in 4 inch pots before transplanting them.If you find yourself having to water every other day when you've totally saturated the soil with runoff,you know its time to transplant up.Let that rootball fill that container trust me.

What do you mean im not letting my rootballs fill the containers... im using 2 gallon pots with 2-3 foot plants? I really don't understand what you were trying to say, sorry

Ok so your saying let me rootball fill the container or something but where are you getting this from... I think a rootball would fill a 2 or 3 gallon container just fine
