My potters are 11ft wide by 2.5 ft deep . I don't see a reason to go wider yet.
Roughly 2000 each gallon give or take a couple 100 gallon .

i've said it before but the most i've seen anyone trim was 5-pounds in one day.. and the stuff was already big-leafed. For non-leafed stuff the most i've seen somebody trim in one day was about 4 pounds.
It really depends on bud structure / density more than skill. Motivation is a huge factor as well.
with the surging popularity of dry trim machines I think the question of who trims the fastest will become like a modern-day story of John Henry; driving steel, trying to beat a machine, only to die of exhaustion with his hammer in his hands.
those pots are huge. your plants look great! when did you pop your seeds? 10yards of soil per plant is slightly overkill unless you are plugging them with massive starts, or growing monster strains like Ancient OG or Blue Dream crosses
All the smoke in the air from the wildfires has caused the plants to start flowering early, half the garden looks like they're a couple weeks into it already. That's fine, I'm pretty happy with the size of the plants, dont need them to get any bigger.. on the other hand an early harvest does sound nice!
you lost me...
He's spent man. More than likely the same troll that was in here not too long ago.
Crazy about the smoke making the plants flip early. But exciting at the same time, I'm sure.

Potter are way to big . I am just a over kill type of person .
All plants are from clone and as far as massive strains I am plenty happy with my girls .north mtf (valley cut30+ years old) ,south mtf (tang), cotton candy( delicious seeds) and a rare south Cali affie used to make (la confadential DNA genetics)
I try to run different strians then every one else for obvious reasons.
Thank you for your thread it was what inspired me to try some outdoor let alone big plants llike you do .
Sorry man, i thought they containers were taller. Shit, still looks good. Nice looking model too

If I were to ever do it again 2ft deep potters are all that is needed . yet I belive a person could go 20ft wide with the right genetics and situation.
Non leaf stuff? are you mixing those fan leaves with your sugar leaf trim?
I heard that fan leaves contain chlorophyl? with not much crystals or any at all. I throw my fans into my compost pile
Im in the same boat. Most of mine are Do Si Dos from clone. Weird summer in Sonoma County, Nothing like last year.
Today is the first day in a while that the sky is actually blue.
I have a couple SFVOG from dark heart that are just now starting to flip.
Last year the summer here seemed like 90 degrees everyday, a few 100 degree days and clear blue skies. All until the crazy fire in early October. I managed to pull on the 7th i think, it was on a full moon. A day or two before the fires
hey shcrews (or anybody)i have a quick question ... what tool have you found to be the most user friendly when it comes to spraying your plants for foliars ??? do you use a commercial tree sprayer, or something else? i'm thinking of purchasing a back pack sprayer & i need someone with experience to help with this question ...thanks for the info ...peace

Chapin 20volt 4 gallon wide mouth backpack sprayer. It's about 40lbs when filled, fyi
Atomizers seem to be the big item for foliar feedi g rite now. The mist they create hits all the nooks and crannys

I think atomizers are waaay to slow. It's very fine mist but deff not the volume or distance needed.
The electric backpack sprayers are a little under powered.
I use a 30 gallon northstar atv orchard sprayer with a 100ft hose on it. Puts out 2gpm. The chapin atv sprayers are nice also. They are inexpensive and made for spraying trees.
Most of my friends are using airless paint sprayers. Ton of pressure for getting up high and Atomizes very fine, but they are difficult to move and don't seem to last. They need Rebuilds.

I use a 2 gallon fire extinguisher for foliar/ipm and it works awesome. Put a fine screen filter on the pickup tube inside and a pump sprayer tip on the spray line to adjust spray type.
After adding my water and foliar/ipm stuff i just use the air compressor to pressurize the shit out of it and go to town. The high pressure really helps cover a large area/plant.
