Is the gourd there to help fertilize/germinate the cannabis or is it for a snack while you get baked? Sorry, I haven’t seen those grown together ever!

schmidtster,

Purely for an experiment/science. It’s cucumber and the kids love them.

It may not work out, but trying shouldn’t cause any major issues.

Awesome, that’s so cute! Hopefully you get some really tasty cukes to go with the harvest! I’m sure the setup will treat it well

CM400,

Time to put a stake in that cuke!

schmidtster,

Yeah I had absolutely zero plan on how to control its growth, may need a couple trellis layers or atleast something to bridge across for it to support itself.

CM400,

You’re going to move it, right? It will dominate that small space and choke out everything else…

schmidtster,

If I have to cull it I will, but it should be able to be threaded out of the way and mainly under the cannabis. So once the cannabis canopy gets there it’ll be shading it and it’ll slow it’s growth down.

I was hoping to use one trellis and have the cannons above while the cukes were below. Only one way to find out!

I’d think the root system snowballing would be the bigger issue. Even in hydroponics, available root volume is limited…

schmidtster,

My last grow had 5 cannabis plants and the roots weren’t even 10% of my aeroponics chamber. I do hear what you’re saying though and it’s a good point, the thing already has ridiculous roots. And if it I cull it and don’t pull the root system out they will decay. Hrmm… this is why we experiment though.

roots from last grow

This is honestly mostly new to me, went from soil to aeroponics and it’s grow #2 with it. I doubt my timing or much is dialed in. Just trying things for fun mainly.

Yeah pot roots aren’t that crazy, I was more talking about the other plant with unknown root mass… could get real big real fast lol
