If the internal dimentions are 8x8 and it is round, then the volume is exactly:

1.74 liquid gallons
1.5 dry gallons
6.59 liters

Peace,

Born420

Oh, and BD, with that capful thing. Are you talking about 3% H202? Or the food grade stuff that is 25%? Can you use the medical grade 3% stuff? (I have a thread started that no one has replied to yet about this)

Thanks!

Santa, if you want to do those plants justice, you MUST transplant them to a larger container. YOu can flower them out with what you have, sure, but at waht cost to your yield?

Thanks for diong the numbers Born. I looked on a couple of my big pots but it didn't say how big they were.

The H2O2 is indeed the 3% drug store stuff. A couple of capfulls doesn't add a whole lot, but it seems to help. I get mine at teh dollar store @ 2 for $1...

Sorry Rav, but at this point it's almost an even trade. The Transplant shock will have almost the same effect as the small pots. If you're not showing symptoms then it would hurt to move them.

Smiles,
BD

Bowing to the expert advice of BD. Sometimes I wonder if Ive become too comfortable transplanting the girls...

My opinion is...still in bowing position,however...
..that Rav is half right,at least.

Santa said one of them was 20 inches tall-so all things being equal...optimumly it could grow to 60 inches.
That is 5 feet!! In an 8x8 pot???Can't be good!

Edited by Virgo34<<<<<sorry folks..I misread Santas last post and assumed he was still in first week of flower.
My bad.

Virgo, I don't think any of these plants are going to get to be 5 feet tall!

They are all now into their 5th week of flowering, so I don't think they will get much taller at all. The tallest is now about 23 inches, and it's growth in height seems to have slowed now, same with the other plants which are now about 20 and 21 inches, respectively. They are now really focusing on bud development, and look awesome if I do say so myself. I am really amazed at this whole process.

So far my friend hasn't been able to discern any signs of stress in the plants, so I think all will be good to go. If I hear that anything is going wrong with them, then I think the H202 treatment sounds good.

My friend has been taking pics of the plants since the beginning, so maybe when I get them all organised and cropped, etc, I can post them.

I misread it,thought you had just gone into 12/12.
Sorry mate.

4 months in a 2 gal pot = not a whole lotta roots....I was worried about this also so when i harvested i checked out the root system and was like hell they didnt need much room AT ALL....especially for us who are onnly growing for 4 months not a year to get 5 foot trees.

as a matter of fact after seeing their roots (granted they made between 32-69 grams wet ..hey ir dirt what do u expect) i threw my clones straight into milk jugs and I have no qualms about it at all and that at least a gallon less than what the grew in before...course I am not some commercial grower with the legendary 1 pound a plant either.

Santa Claus

Yeah, I have seen many pictures of absolutely HUGE plants being grown in tiny pots, and these are pics coming from top growers, so I don't think it will be a problem now.

Also, even Ed Rosenthal, who is a quite well known expert claims that a plant needs only half a gallon for every 2, yes, 2 feet of height. So I'm no longer worried.

Those are hydroponic gardens, Santa, not soil. Those roots grow in a liquid medium and dont need the room soil does.

BTW, EdR is seventys technology. Read ANY CURRENT growguide and the advice is pretty much uniform in debunking the growing myths of the early days. No single source is the end and be all of growing information
