I did. I started them in cups or #1 nursery pots and transplanted to #3 before stretch got too far going.

Here is 1 I did not transplant in time and left to bloom in the 1 gallon (3/4 gallon actual volume)

Didn’t bush and branch out like the up potted plants.

She looks good but I see wat ur sayin. I have a ton of 5 gallon buckets, I was thinking about drilling some drain holes in the bottom and using those.
What size light was she under?

They were all in the same room under 2 600w Hortilux super hps and 1 Phillips 315 cmh 3100k.

I rotate them all around as I water them.

Those buckets with good drainage drilled work for many many growers. You can get big plants in them. Real big.

I only have a 250w but it’s in a cool tube. My objective is to keep the light close to keep them a bit smaller but I want them to swell as much as possible. Hopefully the larger rooting space helps with the swelling instead of stretching.
Any tips to get the swell during flower other than training or topping?

The only thing to do is keep the plants happy and healthy and in as stable environment as possible.

Rooting space doesn’t determine size or yield as much as light.

250 will cover maybe a 2x2 area for flowering. And plants should be kept on the short side.

Plemon was outstanding. Amazing terps and great flavour and stone. I'll revisit that strain sometime in the future
For sure thats one for 12/12FS.
Better grab some sooner than later.
Most seedlines today expire/disapear very fast today.
But definitly nice job you doing there!

Peace

Cool.
I go more and more with private seed sources.
I believe the real outstanding, realy well selected Genetics, I mean talking about that real fire shit you cant buy.
I believe the best stuff is hidden somewhere in a remote backyard, or in growroom that no one will ever see except the paranoid owner.
Those people went through years of selecting and breeding and more selecting to get their favourite prefered traits in one plant. That is plant breeding. Not releasing 40 new crosses per year.
This is what I am looking for.
I am fed of all the hype.
People releasing tons of crosses but I dont see anyone spending serious time in creating new IBL's.
There is only lil % Ibl out there today. As there is lil serious breeding.
Crosses are instable.

If you can find that pheno again keep a clone. I hope you can.
Such a nice bud!
If not possible try to get f2 from the girl if those were regulars.

Sometimes when I didnt keep clones I hated myself later on. Lol

Word. This is the shit I have been talking about for years. The best cannabis is in some small growers basement or backyard. There are a lot of breeders who have very strong genetics but like you said, most dont take the time to work with them and stabilize them. I still buy seeds from breeders, but i totally agree with you.

You are 100% right on this. It still blows my mind how much what use to be the respected norm has flipped nowadays. The saddest part is somehow people actually think it is better cannabis.
I can assure anyone the thousands of Afghani seeds I got from a married hippy couple from Vermont I guided salmon fishing back in 94-95, is as good or better then any indica available commercially nowadays. 23 years later and I still get 70% germ rate every time I test some.
The only ones who bitch about the 90s strains are those who are too young to of known them. If there isn't commercial marketing hype how can they possibly be good? hahaha
Cheers :)
