True, but most of the nutes in the Veg soil should be gone by the time he transfers it. I say try it out and let us know.
umm some of the perks are more soil for the roots to grow (more space)...more soil on the bottom to enchorage roots to grow down...since the veg bucket is in the flower bucket and the only way for the roots to grow is down and then out...if you were to just transplant like normal the roots grow out and down at the same time...so I’m thinking it will also utilize a lot more space....we will see.
seems like a waste. if you have room for a larger container then why not start off with it rather than stressing the plant with an unnecessary transplant.
no matter the growing media or irrigation technique i have always made every effort to avoid transplanting, especially right before flowering. my clones go straight into the container that they will eventually be harvested from. but that's just me.....
do you have a soil recipe that you are completely committed to or have used eextensively? are you avoiding chemical nutes for flavor or other reasons? are you testing your soil for nutrient levels?
the reason i asked if you were using liquid nutes is because they will give you more precise control over a plants health as opposed to ammending your soil which can be an indeterminate process that is harder to correct.
i have no doubt you could grow this way but i think that what we all strive for is control and efficiency in our grows. eliminating assumptions and unknown variables can only help the final yield.
i am not trying to take the wind out of your sails or deter you from doing it, i am just trying to make sense of it, that's all. i spend a lot of time trying to make sense out things these days it seems.
i wish you the best with your grow however you choose to approach it but definitely keep us all posted.
peace.
... we will see like i said this is going to be a side grow...just to see what happends...it be honest i dont think there will be much of a change but u never know.
ok, now i understand. i am all for innovative approaches within reason and this makes sense to me now. if you were using nutes and bagged soil then it would be a wasted effort i think.
I know it wasn't 1000 words, but I thought I covered it.
haha. i do the same thing but because i lack the quantity that you have, i am a little less picky about what i keep. sounds like you are pretty busy though and about to be even busier.
yea I work in the am...by time I get out all the lights are on so I spend my time at home doing my hobby...tending to my babies...Im a new hydro grower I just started to dig my paws in to that Im kind of like "wow" when I come to how many thing u can do to this plant....and I guess I have OCD when it comes to trying new things...I never ever in my life did the same thing everyone else is doing and thats what it feels like...I wont stop with my organic soil in a bucket lol...thats the way its been done for years and we will see how far my hydro career go's...not a big fan but its fast to grow and thats what I need lol. but to get back to being busy...right now I am...end of the grow making sure everythings good...plus a heat wave is going by have some temp probs. at the moment...one of my bag seed plants I got out of some chronic I got turned out to be a male...so...he got the hack today...he's drying out now waiting to be shaken to harvest the keff then added to the pile for bubble hash...witch I make my own hash rolling paper's
...all to good use....never a waste.
