Buds, leaves and mistakes.., [View all]

The continuing story of the 3 gallon grow bag experiment. Some observations. All plants are now just beginning the sixth week of growth after germination.

First the Cons..
Watering, because of the size the gals need to be watered more often, not a biggie.
Fertilizer, even though I’m using completely natural and organic ways to feed, over feeding can still take place.
Human mistake…figured incorrectly. I’ve moved down in size of bags from 7 gallon to 3 gallon. I underfed then overcorrected.

Pros..
With minimal low stress training the plants are shorter and more compact. Im thinking this is mostly due to the smaller rootball size. This is a desirable outcome. Autoflower’s do better when you don’t cut them so high stress training is a no-go, they don’t have the time to recover.
Fixing problems of fertilizing. As mentioned I over fertilized. Flushing out the bags was very easy because of the size. Ran a few gallons of clean water through each till it ran clean. With the smaller amount of soil and the lighter weight of each bag it was not really a chore.

Another little mistake of my own making…we flew a little too close to the ‘sun’ overnight one day and got a little leave burn. No biggie, raised the lights.

Here’s the gals 6th week family portrait. The effects of over fertilizing and leaf burn are still there…all are recovering nicely.
