To small pots?

[FatherCrow]

Have some questions about my grow!

I have 6 hindu kush and 7 Satori.
2*200w envirolites to light up the place...
The girls are planted in 1 liter pots....wich I know is to small. But my growspace is limited and I wanted to grow all my storebought seeds at once...

Now... the budgrowth is somewhat small and thin! Is it because the potsize or is it maybe a lighting problem? I´m feeding them swedish supermarket-bought fertilizer that should contain all the nutes necessary... I´m being carefull though.... i dont want to burn them or anything....


I will post some pics as soon as possible....

Love this place!

BOTH!
LIGHT IS LIKE FOOD FOR PLANTS! THEY USE THE ENERGY !
THINK OF THE LEAVES AS SOLAR PANELS!!!

now for the roots...
your bud growth will not be impresive,,, but these are lessons we all learn!

think of this,,,
*light = bud
*the plant on top of the ground is about = to the roots underground

dont get discouraged!!!!!! your best grow will allways be the next one!
as long as you smoke it and enjoy it it was not in vain!!!

How long have they been in the 1ltr pots for? and how far into flower are you?
I guess that the pots are too small, especially in flower. The roots will be restricted for them to grow big buds. If it were a SOG type grow then 1-2ltr pots would do ok, so about 1gal (3+ltrs) at least for larger plants.
You would still have a decent yield, try to learn from your mistakes so that you can dial in your growroom conditions in future.
I found that Envirolites will not produce as much as an HPS due to the light intesity being quite weak but they do make some nice crystal laden buds.

the larger light will pay for itself!
from seed i grow with 1000 watters and use at least 2 gal pot but it depends on how long you veg????
3-5 gallon are best

They´ve been flowering almost 40 days now and they´ve been in the pots since i started flowering. The tallest hindu is 80 cm (guess that´s 32 inches)
I am growing SOG-type setup because the amount of plants in a small space.

The satorigirls seems to be at better health though... I´ll post some pics later to day...
hopefully I will get some nice seeds from them so I can do it a little better next time...

Are you growing males too and intentionally breeding?Just to let you know if your crop is unintentionally seeded you definately dont want to grow out those seeds,the chances of it being a herm are too high for it to be worth growing out.You have to get those nvirolites as close to the tops as you can without overheating them,I like to put my flo's literally on top of my plants if I can get away with it

FatherCrow use what works best for you. I have little space also but would go with hps if the room was avaliable. As far as flowering in 1 ltr containers use what fits in yer space. This was my last bloom finished in 32 oz cups (1 ltr). Flowered with 4-42 watt cfls. Container size would go with the space and size your plants finish at. Smaller containers = more watering. GL

Peace LL

its all great and i know this wont be your last attempt!
keep on doing it and you will learn what you need and i would stress to get at least a hps in 250-400 watts !
you spend a long time and a lot of love,,, you might as well get more bud for that !!!!
