    I'd suggest getting a Wet-vac if you don't already have one, once that plant gets bigger in that huge fabric pot it's gonna have a lot of run off if you're watering it till it starts running out bottom, and also it's not suspended off the floor with anything 1-2"... so how do you intend to collect run-off to check pH & EC/PPM? Get a metal pot suspender or make your own with a grill or oven tray sort of thing, or a couple for that big pot lol just suggestions man, Hope you grow a massive beast :smoke:

    You guys think i should just sack the pots and cut em? They arent smarties but still 7 bucks a pop

    Its a no till. I will not be watering to a point of runoff. The bottom is lined with 1/2-1 lava rock

    Also aren't you worried the root systems might strangle eachother / fight for space with multiple plants in a single pot? I've always heard/read from other growers you never want to grow multiple marijuana plants in a single pot

    As long as i keep them at least 3 feet apart they should be okay. This thing is 22" deep! Im stoked

    Are you going to raise it off the ground? I would strongly recommend doing so if not using a few 2x4s or something before you water that and make it impossible. Maybe you can graft all the plants together so they don't compete?

    Anaerobic pockets will form if you don't get some airflow. A large bag like that will never dry out in the bottom few inches if you don't have it raised up. Cold feet is another reason.

    What would be good to use? Maybe the flourescent light grid?

    Not sure what that is. I would use three 2x4s cut at about 2'. Three because it is such a large bag. Lay them down so you have a few channels for airflow. Anything about that size will do the trick I believe.....2" PVCs. THe whole thing doesn't NEED to be raised, but you want to allow a few channels at a minimum
    Personally I use dolly rollers for my 45 gallon bags but unnecessary for you by the looks.

    I had 4 5g bucket tops i had already drilled holes in. If i use 5 it holds off perfect. No dead spots. Thanks so much!
