I'm pretty stoked about them! I guot my plants in two and three gallon pots right now. Soon as the root balls are nice and thick I'm gonna transplant them into the big pots. Cannot wait!

Sooo currently in my personal room I got 16 plants in 7 gallon smart pots.

About 112 gallons soil. It seems to be working out for the most part.

View attachment 3823818

This is all under three 1000w hid lights.

Now today, I fortuned into four 1000 gallon smart pots.

Whoops I meant 100. Could you imagine 1000?! Jesus titty fucking Christ our Lord and baby savior.

So that's 400 gallons of soil.

I wanna add a light, but do the same number of plants.

So I'd basically be doing four plants per light. all in this giant plot of soil. It's almost like an indoor raised bed.

I know some dudes that have grown giant trees in 100 gallon pots outside. But anybody else ever use one of these giant smart pots indoors like a bed to do multiple plants before?

I'll definitely be documenting the grow I do in them.

Haha yeah I talked myself out of doing this a million times. I wanted to switch over to a no til approach but I wanted to be able to do it in raised beds...but I kept telling myself "You don't wanna carry in all that dirt...you probably don't need all that dirt." But then the other voice in my head keeps going on about "container gardening and the limitations it creates..." And then I'm looking at pots at the grow store and a 100 gallon pot is only 10 bucks more than a 30 gallon...then next thing I know I'm carrying 1,200 pounds of compost into my basement.

These are definitely gonna be monsters. Expect bushes. Bushes that will burn! Getting into some biblical shit y'all. Lol.

I grew two pounders out of 27 gallon tubs that never got more than half full of water.

I think whatever advantage such volume might confer will be evident on the second, third and fourth grows, the no till becoming a net labor saver.

Fascinating stuff and I'm subbed up to see how you do-

And if all else fails, you are still saving money over health club membership!

Yea it's definitely something I'm doing for the long term benefits. I think my biggest challenge will be when I first transplant into the beds and the roots haven't filled out yet. Keeping the soil medium moist enough to maintain life but not over watering the plants.
