yes not a problem, may take longer or some may not root but it still works
only thing you must do is keep the humidty really high and give them fresh air once a day
a bag over a half filled plant pot works well
Any Tips On LST?

maybe if you continue banging your head on that wall it will knock some sense into ya, 2x 3 gal pots is no where near enough for a prolonged veg period, they will become root bound and stop growing after about 4 weeks.what are you talking about lol
10 gal pot in a 48x24x60
2x 3 gal buckets is all that is needed

i suggest a 10 gal tote not bucket..really not that big to be honest. i used a 30 gall tote in a 32x32 grow space and it worked out fine.. upi need something big and short so you can set you screen up and train them.

Well done, yes the plant would stop growing after 5-6 weeks, but should stay heathy for 8-10 weeks and if I vegged for that long I would tim the root mass and still use a 3 gallon pot
with a restricted high of 60"
You can't have a large plant as it will strech in flower and run out of space, my room is just over 60" high, take the space needed for the pot and light, there's not a lot of space left

yeah, sorry im in a bad mood. i will end my rant now. i have personally had good results using larger pots with alot of training and making it work but i have not had much in the lines of space restriction. This is my setup. i will be running 400w throughout the entire grow unless i feel the need to turn up the light. 1k watt dimmable in use so my options are not limited. there is a 32x32 grow tent next to this setup but i plan on having a fairly large plant so i decided to just grow out in the open.

its not just I was been a bit sarcastic, sorry mate
your system looks really good, like the air cooled hood
large containers are great for dwc, I used a 50ltr storage box few years back, scrog setup just like yours, and it worked really well
flowered it off when it hit the screen, grew 5 times the size in flower
really had to work hard to keep the canopy level lol
but I did pull a large yield so it was worth the effort
theses days I stick to soil, its quick, easy and there not much that can go wrong
once there 2 weeks in flower, only spend 5min watering every 2 days till harvest
no ph pen, ec meters, pumps, pipes, leaks, root rot ect, used to drive me mad
spending time up there every day

all the holes in the lid are for tying down branches. Im using dutch master zone so root rot shouldnt become a issue, takes me about 1 min to PH and PPM my water and i do it about once a week and never needs to be adjusted.its not just I was been a bit sarcastic, sorry mate

i used to have a big RDWC system and ill never go back to anything like it ever again....these days i only grow 1 plant to a time anyways so the 1 DWC bucket is simple for me, i already have the equipment for hydro so i see no sense in going out and buying soil.
running dyna grow gro/bloom for nutes and they are really simple. 1 bottle for grow one for bloom. i dont get how people can mix up 20 different bottles to do one feeding...but hey to his thier own i guess. my plan is to fill up that screen so i will be vegging for a month or so. i might do a couple outdoor seeds in soil just to have a small harvest in the fall
