1st "real" grow.. Advise from experienced ppl appreciated

Also, I kno I'm asking slot if questions at once... But once my brain starts wondering it gets crazy.. But anyway I'm thinking of going into bigger pots, how much would this increase yield?? If at all, they're currently in 1 gallon air pots.. But how much bigger would my plants get if I transplanted them to 3 gallons or maybe 5 gallons?? I kno I may be getting carried away

I will defer to the soil growers on pot sizes. I am a hydro man now, but I know you def want the proper size pot otherwise your plants will get root bound and that will severely decrease your yield. Now, I know you def don't want that.....

Soil Growers, help this guy out.

THEY LOVE IT!!!so stick them in the back of the or whatever and annoy them and then get you some catnip and tomatoes and everything you hear on here and want to try...try it on those plants first...your MJ will thank you for those days spent dry, they will thank you for not fertilizing them everytime they get a spot, like us newer people tend to do...we love them to death...so get a shit load of veggies and such you want to try to grow and plant those as well...then spend more time on the other things...but the amount of plants in veg is limitless almost...way more than you would think...I stack small pots on top of bigger spots and all the plants have to grow around the jumble...but again...they dont' mind at all...anyway...in flower it is another story...I like a larger plant so I can only fit like 3 or 4 in the flower tent of the same size...so what I want to do is keep mother plants in the veg tent and take clones straight to flower after they are rooted...but right now my veg tent is so heinous I don't know what is in there...

Missnu.. Believe it or not I'm actually thinking if growing sine other plants .. I'm gonna start getting my yard ready soon.. Not sure as to what exactly it Is I wanna grow, but maybe some strawberries (my white widow plant I have now reminds me of a strawberry bush) can't get my mind off the weed lol.. Now if the strawberries could taste as good as they do and get ne high like the white widow or Any weed for that matter. Then we could talk!! Lol, but right now as it is, I have atleast another month before it's warm enough for me to start with the other veggies (strawberries, grapes , tomatoes etc) which would have to go outside!! Because I'm def not gonna use electricity on that, I do like other plants and will experiment, but def don't love em like my mj!! So I only will spend $ on my mj plants (really cuz I spend way too much buying it on the street & wanna stop that immediately! But other plants will be grown , just not indoors & I'm only gonna spend $50 tops on the other plants to get the garden ready but not nearly like I'm willing to invest in my mj, just hope my mj invests back in me.

I feel you bro, I ain't growing anything but MJ until I have a yard and I can do it for cheap. I can buy all that other shite much cheaper than growing my own, but not the sweet sweet MJ. One day I am gonna have a greenhouse and I am gonna grow all sorts of stuff.

If your only looking for an ouce a plant those plants there will produce atleast an oz a piece of have had smaller plants than those go into flowering and i got a couple ozs off each so whenever your ready you can put those in to flower they will most likely atleast double in size i have had some plants triple in size

also sims do you have a fan blowing over those plants by the looks of it the edges of the leaves curling up like that is a sign of heat stress and the plant is trying to dissapate moisture as fast as it can to cool the plant down raising your light a little bit or a fan blowing over the tops its not 100% crucial but it will make your plants happier

That's exactly what I wanted to hear Montana! But before I start going crazy, I must admit.. My pics do look alot bigger in the pictures, my white widow & green love potion are both around 4 inches... Now after saying that, do u still think it will stretch that much to give me an oz??? & it's nit that I don't believe u, u just want to make sure u understand the actual size of the plants.. Now the cotton candy on the other hand... She's a beast!!! (atleast to me lol) she's already 7-8 inches tall , & her undergrowth is probably taller than the other plants, I'd say the cotton candy has undergrowth that us already about 4 inches, so I could imagine I could pull an oz of her , but the other two I'm not sure of

Just tried my luck at cloning for the first time a few hours ago.

Took two cuttings from the green love potion(both really small tho about 3 inches) so we'll see..

Took 2 from the cotton candy too.. Thes were kinda big (atleast 4 inches) I might have left a little too much leaf on them, I see en fighting to hold themselves up straight. But what's done is done so I'll just leave em alone & hope for the best.

And last but definitely not least, I took 1 white widow cutting. This one was definitely the smallest (about 2inches maybe) but it was the easiest for me. Not that cloning is a hard process .. But I'm just naturally high & clumsy so simple tasks are usually difficult for me, & for some reason more complex things come easier to me, but that's another story... Anyway, for some reason .. I think the white widow will actually root (just a gut feeling)

I'm hoping for atleast 3 out of the 5 to root.. I would consider that fair , thus being my first time & all (just lost my cloning virginity lol) but honestly even if only 1 rooted.. I would take it in a sec.. I can live with live with being a failure, just nit being a complete failure lol.. God just let me get 1!! & yes I did just ask god for help with my mj crop, I hope that's not too immoral.. Let me stop rambling, this is what happens when I smoke.. & oh I used clone- ex btw & have clones in a humidity dome far out of the direct light of my metal halide, and will mist daily.. I kno the routine, I watch YouTube!! Lol
