Big plants in little containers
What's the biggest plant you've ever grown in a small container ?
How big do you think you could grow a plant in a one pint container using any method ( soil, hydro, soil-less ) ?

If Muley can scruff along i can too.

kind of odd question...
like,
how fast could you run barefoot
if you broke all your toes first
and superglue'd them back under your tread

Surprisingly big.
I seem to remember a "shot glass challenge" on some site or other, where the challenge was to grow as big a plant as possible, using only a shot glass as the container.
I wouldn't recommend it as a very productive method though.
In general, the more roots you have, the better the plant, and the bigger the yield.
I'd rather grow one plant in a big container than four in tiny containers.

Yep. What Bloke said. What do your state laws say--Do they count the total weight or the number of plants when you get busted? Total weight would work better to have more small plants--number of plants would be better to get fewer bigger plants.A Bloke Down The Pub wrote:Surprisingly big.

whatever size container your going to finish in
stepping up into it during the plants growth will promote maximized utilization of the soil available to the plant.
so if your going to finish in a 12oz cup,
start in a 4 or 6oz
and transplant when the roots just start to circle the outside perimeter

I experimented with smaller pots this last round, 4 inch and 1 gallon, and it can be done but with a dripper system or something.twilson wrote:What's the biggest plant you've ever grown in a small container ?

As for myself I'm going back to 7 gal pots. It lessens the time spent watering and buffers against forgetting.

They're doing yogurt cup challenges on icmag these days. Walgeist is a very talented micro grower there.

Interesting. No I don't think I'm gonna try to grow in small containers. Was just wondering.
7 Gallon container sounds big Jesus. Most people I know including myself max out at five gallon containers. But yeah you are better off having fewer bigger plants in terms of the law. Most laws depend on the number of plants.

Seven gallon for me is just about perfect. Theyre wider than they are tall. Five gallon buckets are the opposite and I dont think work as well.
