1-24-11 ***UPDATE WITH PICS***
I don't often show pics inside the cab anymore... figure it's just better for people to wonder than to know, I guess. Safer maybe.
But I wanted to share this with you.
I've been growing for awhile now in these MT2510 "TreePots" and I for the longest time have been using ones that are cut down to hold about 18oz of water. (Doc Bud used 20oz soda bottles with the tops cut off...18oz is approximating that.)
I had a few extra treepots from my original order that i did not cut down and I've been experimenting with them for a couple of cycles now... wanted to share some results.
The plants in the pictures are all in the same soil (peat/sphagnum/perlite) and get the same nutes (floranova bloom) at the same time in the same way and they are getting the same lights and etc. (Everything is as controlled as I am able on my somewhat hectic schedule.)
Anyway... plants in the full sized containers (about 36-38oz if I remember right) are .... well, I'll let you see for yourself.
Included in the following pics is the AK47 MOM in the original round's 32oz half & half containers. She's a first gen clone of the original AK47 from round one. The other two plants are her clones.
The bigger plant was flowered when it was 2" tall. The smaller plant was flowered when it was 3" tall. The smaller plant is exactly 7 days younger than the first. But as you can see, the slightly larger, significantly deeper container has a significantly fatter cola.
I'm going to continue experimenting with different containers while I prepare for my next adventure. I'll share anything I find and I will help anyway I can.
Thanks for taking this ride with me!
