It's ill advised to put a tiny plant in a huge bucket. (made that mistake on my first grow) The plant doesn't have the root structure to absorb the nutes/water in the soil and you wind up with a bunch of wet soil that will harbor mold/mildew and other problems waiting to happen.

I start seedlings in .5 liter pots, then move up to 1 gallon, then 3 gallons for flowering.



Keep an eye out around your neighborhood for anyone that's planting their garden out of nursery plants. Odds are they will just throw the pots away. TADA!!!! FREE POTS! Most are .5L 1L and 1 Gallon, but I've scored about 50-75 pots just this fall and now have a complete surplus!

Another place to search is behind the local hardware store. When the nursery plants get sick or die they THROW THEM AWAY! Dump the dead plant out and SCORE!!!! I got some 7 gallon's off of dead junipers earlier this year, again for FREE! (It's a good idea to check with store management before dumpster diving tho)
canniwhatsis Reviewed by canniwhatsis on . Tuxy's grow log. We're starting on day 5, i'll try to post pics daily. Right now i'm using two spot-gro lights from lowes, soon to be changed to 4 4' fluorescent lights. And eventually into two MH 400s. (that's my plan anyway). I'm using trainwreck seeds(i believe). Here are some pics of the ones that are doing well, others aren't doing so hot, and i dont really know why.. Any help/suggestions are always welcome :) And thanks for reading! -Tux. Rating: 5
