The little guy in the front is a bag seed that I started late then neglected and left for dead, maybe I’ll get a joint off her 😂

What all am I looking at here? This multiple plants in one pot? What’s all the clippings at the bottom?
I grow too so wondering if you might have some tricks up your sleeve I haven’t seen
Yeah I do multiple plants in my beds. The “weeds” at the bottom are a cover crop, mostly legumes. Clover in particular is an excellent nitrogen fixer. I grow in a 50 gallon living soil bed with as many as 5 plants in there.
The benefit to doing multiple plants per bed is so the plants can communicate and share nutrients, Tad Hussey talks about it in a really informative podcast but basically it measurably helps with a lot of things including pest and disease resistance.
Yup I think there are multiple plants in one pot, for some reason. Also the soil is full of weeds (I see a bunch of clover in there).
In fairness I suppose all of our soil is filled with weeds 😂 clover is a really good cover crop for cannabis, and by keeping living plants in there between cycles it keeps the microbiome in the soil alive.
Clover isn’t a weed necessarily… a weed is an undesired plant.
Clover (I use it as companion ground cover with Kentucky Blue grass) provides nitrogen to the soil and provides shade so the ground doesn’t dry out so fast.
If you think this is out of control try growing just one plant per pot you’ll have tons to mow but your yeild will easily 10x this much
I was doing one plant per in 5 gallon fabric pots when I first started and I might go back to that now I know what I’m doing, but I’m trying to mimic the ground as much as I can and the huge pot thing has been working for me
That looks like a 50 gallon pot in a 3x3. With smaller pots you don’t do multiple plants since the roots will compete with each other. In this scenario there is ample room for multiple roots and companion crops can provide synergy between plants. Clover returns nitrogen to the soil for example.
What day of flower?

Decent bud structure on them already, you flipped same time as me.
How long will you take them? My silver haze is new to me, but 10 weeks as been doing me solid on other strains.
I think we planted about the same time too, it’s been neat for me to see the difference between our methods. I wish I could fill up my tent like you can!
Last time I only went 8 weeks and it was a damn fine smoke, but this time I’m scheduling for 9
