Very nice. Looks like all the same strain in 5 gallon pots? What size tent are they in and what you using for lighting. I'm planning my next grow now. I have 6 regular white widow seeds that will eventually end up in 2 gallon pots in my 4x4 tent. Or, I may pick up a few more 3 gallon smart pots? I'm just anticipating a couple being male, so I'd like to have a full tent this grow. This past grow, that you can read about above, didn't turn out quite as expected. Nice looking plants!

If you're in soil, I'd definitely try for a bigger pot. Even if you are using kitchen style garbage cans, those are 13 gallons and if you shop around you can find some that will fit in your tent nicely. Short on height? Use a kitty litter style bucket, the rectangular 5 gallon pails, they're actually closer to 6 gallons. Another option is to line a milk crate with wax paper or a plastic bag and use that. They're close to 6 gallons and 12 x 12 x only 10 inches tall.

Nope. There are 4 White Fire OG, 2 Blackhole (Purple Mayhem x Thai/Vietnamese Landrace) and 2 Sunshine Daydream. They're all in modified Octopots, it's a 10G pot with a hole cut in the bottom and a wick that sits into that tub of water. The first pic, the plants on the left, are the WiFi. The second pic, the two on the left with the smaller growth are the Blackhole, and those bushy, lanky fuckers are the Sunshine. The tent is about 7.5x4ft and 7ft tall

They probably look so small because I took them from 2G to 10G, and that pic was taken just after transplant.

I first did mainlining last yr with huge results, switched to manifolding this yr. By far my fav pruning tech. Though for outdoors I keep on pinching new growth for most colas possible. Keeps them short and bushy!!20160603_084015.jpg

Not sure, but they seem to be doing fine. Probably a little stressed. I'd be stressed too if I was a plant and I was growing me. lol I just keep hoping all three of them are female. That's the downside to not using feminized seeds.

Some are in modularhydro buckets you can see video on YouTube of the system
Some are in fabric pots with the same soil mix.
Temps stay 65 to 75
RH 55 to 65
Small fan with carbon filter exhaust
Large oscillating fan

My buds are always dense and decent but so little.
Here is the link to my soil mix

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong but no matter what i try i run into problems each time. Best grow yet was in a 4x4 fabric bed. Just hard to work in that area but that was my best grow yet may try again when i move into my new place. But for now it's buckets and air pots just can't get anything right. My plants look sad

I have a few babies in veg small pots wondering if the slugs on the bottom of pots are bad should i worry

You have slugs on the bottom of your pots? WTF?
Is your LED a China made "blurple" light that claims 1000 watts or do you have 1000 actual watts of COB?
Also, what is the capacity of your pots? I don't use anything less than a 4 gallon. Preferably more.

The slugs are on the bottom of my pots outside with just some small babies in them some seeds I planted they are not on the plants just the bottom of the pots
