Pot size

[Yotron]

Just a quick one here folks !! What’s a respectable pot size ? 1 month old plants in soil in 1 gallon right now. They are getting new shoes any day . In my situation is 5 gallons enough to veg one more month and finish to flower w/o issues ? Yes or No Thanks for your time fam .

What he said. Go with what you have room for. I find that a 2 gallon is the smallest I want to flower out a regular plant in, but a three or five is better. Three gallon works well unless the plant goes super long then frequent watering can be a pain.

Also, water the plant, not the pot. If you stick it in a 5g, don't soak the bucket. I use the plant size and the leaves as a giude. Little plant, little water. but in a circle right around the edge of where the leaves stretch to, where the main root growth 'should' be. When you get to the edge of the container it's time to soak. solo-cup, 1g, 5g - doesn't matter.

This depends on what you are feeding with but bigger is always better in the long run. If you are feeding with salt based nutrients then a lot of growers do fine in 5 gal pots for indoor grows. If you are growing in living soil then I personally wouldn’t go any smaller than 7 gallons. I run my plants in 10 gallon pots.

People who grow sea of green style do, too. It all depends on how long you want to veg them for and how much/often you want to have to water and feed them. It would be nearly impossible to grow organically in a pot that small, though, because the plant would deplete that pot of nutrients faster than they could go back in.

Speaking of pots…these short and wide 10gal pots arrived today. I figured it try these instead of fabric to see if they help keep the humidity lower in the tent. They seem nice and sturdy too.

I've seen pics of deadpan head on ig. He does one gallon from seed to a month old. Then transplants into threes and flips to flower . very nice plants!! I'm pretty sure its from seed not clones.

I had to go w 5s ,but ill be growing them to about 2-3ft then flip. Ill probably end up veging for around two months total ,1 month in a 1gallon ,and 1 month in a 5 gal .I don't have a ton of head room.
