Hi Sharper, My current grow is using soil from the TLO book and his genetics as well. Dark matter, Dark Poison Skunk, Red Sky, Chunky Cherry Thai. Nice to see a fellow from the TLO hood!I have space for larger pots 2.5 gallon. and started to do layers and spikes but started to get behind on materials so I wanted to try a experiment with some in 1 gallon and some in 2.5 gallon pots . I didnt layer in 1 gal. But did in 2.5 gal. With added spikes. Teas were applied along the way veg. Tea to grow and flower and finish tea followed by water only . This all was done with worms , compost mix from book and layers and spikes no additional added nutrients. 95% positive if you veg in smaller pot then layer and spikes in 1 gal .you will do fine. You end up with smaller plant less flowers if not 3ft. Tall from veg . I had best success with large pot / with trellises and tied down tall flowers was greater versus sm pot no trellises . I lifted short ones and tied open to trellis to maximum interior. Yeaild is mostly the factor if layering and spike fed. Bigger pots bigger everything. The mix of compost is key . Get true living organics book ..... it has everything you want to know . Plus some . Also they suggested 400w. Only
I used 600w all I had , I just lifted it higher. Organic dont need high wattage lights
