Size of pots

[natedogg789]

I am currently on my second grow. My first grow i used smaller pots maybe gallon size pots and for my second grow I am using much larger pots probally three to four gallon size. Does anyone know if this is going to make a significant difference in the size of my plant? I grow only one at a time for personal use and am trying to maximize yield the best I can.

It's funny, I'm doing the opposite. Several plants, in very small containers to start with, trying to make several tiny plants.

the bigger the pot size the bigger the yield..

the bigger the pot size the bigger the yield..

Ya thats what im hoping!

the bigger the pot size the bigger the yield..

Not necessarily true.

the larger the pot the more space for the root system.. the larger the root system the larger the plant can grow.. the larger the plant the larger the yield...


the only real exception to this is auto flowers... they need a ton of root space because of the speed in which they grow.. one grower i know uses 5 gallon buckets for his autos that stay under 2 ft tall...

professor Cervantes has suggested that 3 gal pot would suffice, I'm currently using 3 gal pots and the plants are doing great

with more veg time and more space for the roots to grow you will get a bigger plant that makes more murda.
