Pretty great actually. My last harvest i yielded 14oz off two plants (7 oz each plant) under a 600w hps in a 4x5ish room. They were flowered in 10 gal pots. And the quality of the bud is always top notch.

must you layer them a certain way or just drop and mix it all together and then into a bucket? also, can anyone hook me up with what size bucket i would need to grow like 3 plants in it (in soil)? im not a fan of growing multiple plants in one space but i dont have the room for multiple buckets.

Just gotta mix it all together really well and its good to go. I wouldnt go any smaller than a 10 gal depending on how long you veg

These are the plants i yielded 7oz off each. Completely filled the room. The strain was blue dream i vegged for about 2 months, topped when young and did lst all the way up to 12/12 and just let them go. They went 75 days in flower. Great smoke.
Heres a bud of some blue dream i just harvested about to put into jars. Very frosty.

Ive used this soil mix from when i first started growing about 2 years ago. Wouldnt trade it for anything ive seen so far. Stupid easy to grow with.
Hope this helps.

Haha yeah for that run i was just seeing how big i could get them. Was fun watching them grow. Would have been better if i did some more training but i went on a trip for a week and when i got back there wasnt any room to do anything lol i let them veg for about two months, maybe a little more.

DAMN SON! a little over 2 months??? im doing some wrong lol... my plant is 38 days old today and its about 20 something inches if im not mistaking. i mean i still have another month to go so i expect about another foot or so by aug. 1st. and thats still not as big as yours hahahaha great shit man... i just started feeding full strength so lets see how that goes. i usually keep it at 1/4 all the way through which is just what i need to reach my goal. but this run im thinking big baby... thanks for the inspiration brother lol

Hey good lookin plant! What strain is it? Do you do any training?

One thing i would suggest when growing big plants with big yields is making a flat canopy. I like topping and then LSTing to make a big bush with many tops.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks man! It's northern lights X big bud. I've been topping everything but the main stem. I made a scrog but I'm wait until about 2 weeks before flower to drop it. I've been wanting to lst but I cant figure out an easy way to do it in the dwc. When I grow in soil I drill holes at the top of the bucket and run strings through them. With Dwc I really don't have that luxury due to the fact that I have to remove my pot every time I change my res. Any idea how I can manage that?
