Small container grow?

[cyclo1224]

was a 24 oz pepsi bottle...cut the top off its about 20 oz now....the plant(an indica) is 17 days old from seed today. i have other plants im not worried about how much i get out of it. i guess i just wanna know if it will even bud in something like this. i dont trust myself enough to try and transplant it cause i dont want it to die. so should i just keep it as my new plant friend lol or should i try to flower it in a few months?

Hey. take some sharp scissors or razor blade cut that bottle down the side tilt it on its side and kind of shake it. hold on to the soil and try to keep it in tact. best to do when soil is more dry than wet. No worries . pretty easy i have never lost one this way. put that lady in a five gallon pot and let her grow. she will get root bound in that small thing. good luck.

You don't want light getting at your roots. Paint or tape works well.

 

[cyclo1224]

so i taped um up real good...but still need to know if you can go the distance in something this size

 

[Jimmy6000]

I have seen them flower in 4 inch pots.So, yes you can.would be great learning experience.I would personally transplant. You still have to water, feed and care for her the same way so why not let her grow.I have four ,4 inch pots in flower room to play with, but also have it filled. So, if all goes well I won't be disappointed.I will post pics after 24/36 dark period is over.Oh yea, you will need drain holes in that 20 oz'er.

how long should i let um veg in that 20 oz before i start to flower them?

 

[Jimmy6000]

In the 20oz it will only get so big.So unless you plan to transplant I would do it now.If you start flower now and it turns out female,you can always reveg and maybe end up with a decent yeild for a single plant,but not in that 20oz. container.Bigger pot=bigger plant.

[cyclo1224]

You can flower in any size container. The container size will limit roots and therefore plant size. But it won't prevent you from completing a flowering cycle. You'll need to watch the watering very carefully. As the roots fill the container, water will tend to run down the outer edge between roots and container. The inner roots will dry out. You may have to water from the bottom, by standing the container in a pan of water.

very cool HIPSTER ...how long should i let them veg in this size container...thanx for the watering info to.

 

[HipsterDoofus]

I like smaller plants indoors, so I veg for a month or so.

 

[cyclo1224]

so 11 more days....they are 19 days old today.

 

[cyclo1224]

i taped um up...20 days old today. probly only gonna let um veg for 10 or 12 more days before starting 12\12

 

[cyclo1224]

so do small plants flower faster or will it still take around 8 weeks or more to fully flower?

 

[HipsterDoofus]

It still takes around the same amount of time.

 

[cyclo1224]

same plant at 22 and 24 days....will put a few more pix up on this thread at day 30
