thats exactly what im looking for. Im going to order some 30 gal containers then. Are the regular amazon ones good? Doesnt seem like i could go wrong with a container but you never know.

I did think about that. The Ac tent is only 80" so a bit shy of 7 feet. I k now i read there are ways to control height though right? Thats what I plan on doing I guess. Or go with shorter strains.

Thanks I appreciate that, never really thought of it as a guide as much as a brain dump. Hope you able to find some use for it
With some layers of trellis netting and bending over tops you can control the height to a large degree. I only have about 7 ft and with lights hanging that gives me about 6 ft. I used to top and still do sometimes but I’m finding that bending them over seems to have the same effect as topping but you don’t have to actually remove the top. Your plants will be 1-2 ft off the ground in the container too so keep that in mind. It can be done with less headroom. It’s just nice to have extra. I just use regular black plastic containers with risers to keep them up and out of the drip trays. I don’t like fabric, they are a pain to water. Maybe better for the roots but I don’t think enough to make a difference and 30 gal is plenty big. You will never get root bound in a pot that big. The contradictory info on growing this plant is mind blowing isn’t it. Pretty much a lot of what you read about is a mixture of all the different ways to grow even though not all things apply to all growing styles. Truth is just when you think you have it figured out you read something and start to question everything lol. Living soil is pretty easy if you start with good soil and keep that Vpd in check. These plants pretty much do the rest in this style of growing. I buy seeds and the package says they will be short and then they get to be 6 ft tall and vise versa. When it comes to seeds you never know what you will get. It’s much easier when you grow all from clone that you know what it does. My issue now is trying to flower and time the harvest on 2 different genetics in the same space. I’m about to harvest now. Today is day 70 of flower. I am experimenting with temps and rh in late late flower. Night time temps are set to 58 and day is about 65 with my rh down to 30-40. Been set here for a few days now. I have been slowly dropping temps and rh the last few weeks and also dimming lights. I’m at the lowest setting now. Trying to mimic fall. This is supposed to cause more resin production. Im letting my pots dry back a bit too. We shall see if the dry cold temps here at the end do anything. Dry room is ready to too. Did a test run last night. I maintain a temp if 60 and Rh of 60 and hang the whole plant for about 14-21 days before trimming and jarring.
yup thats the plan. Im going to start ordering a few things. Ill keep you guys posted
