What i would do is screen it, as in SCROG... especially if you already have it Lst'd, when I used to screen everything, I always Lst'd my plants prior to screening, back at overgrow where scrog became very popular we called it pre-screen training, it was after that that someone on OG posted that they just left it pre-screen trainned and the plant acted almost like a scrog with less control and precision... now I am not claiming that is how LSTing was created it is just the way I found out about it, it was called low stress trainning because the other method of pre-screen trainning we used was basically supercropping and bending at the crushed area, which was coined high stress trainning
But to get back on subject...lol, i like to ramble... If you screened your whole area and diligently trainned all of the shoots into all available bud sites, regardless of the amount of plants you use, you will get atleast a pound... It may take you some time to fill the the screen but it is time very well spent... If going with only 1 plant, you would want atleast 5 gallons but a 5 gallon bucket should do U fine as long as you have adaquate aeration within your medium, e.g, perlite... as for veg time... veg until your screen is 70-90% full, then flip... IMO, it is very hard to get very large harvest from single plants without devoting large amounts of time into trainning those plants, because growing a large plant is one thing, but growing a large plant that efficiently fills an area is a totally other thing all together... Because in my world efficiency will always lead to increased production, while less efficiency will always lead to higher production costs, as thus in cannabis, a lower gram per watt ratio, so the goal should be to always increase efficiency... IMHO, nothing comes close to equally the efficiency of a PROPERLY run scrog...
Put it this way, every square meter of lit grow space should yield on average a pound or close to it with an average to above average yielder... if you are not there, like most people are not then it just says that somewhere within your grow space there is room for improvement and with most rooms it is going to be in the efficiency of their growing techniques... if you have reached that area of a pound or so per square meter, then you have basically maxed your area and mastered your technique

thanks for the post...Mass man..I agrree 10 ft should be left for out doors..and anythings possable..
massproduccer...if i was to grow a 1 lb plant in soil...my veg area 4x3x7..800 watt MH..what size container would you use? and How Long would you Veg 4?..saying the strain is 8 weeks...and some "LST" is done?
^^SDB^^.. Sorry to HIGHJACK your thread just gathering some info from the Mass man...
