root bound is bullsh*t.
this pic was taken last night. this is clone taken from a plant outside last summer. it's been in this pot for at least 4 months. the plant is 31 inches from the soil to the top of the plant. the pot is 2 quarts or 1/2 gallon. whichever you prefer to call it. 1 gallon per foot? bullsh*t.

Yeah I just had a veg grow from seed, started flower now around a week ago. The plants are in 500ml containers, and I see no need to go any bigger, no matter how big the plant gets.
I'll never ever grow in a bigger pot than 500ml again. Just no need.

There you go... sorry no recent pic's, these are from between 21 and 25 days veg'...
the male is now being flowered separately for pollen.
Males smell more than females, or at least they get smellier sooner. I got 3 NL males too, and am picking the future fathers also by smell. One of the NL smells really, intensely fruity... heavy indica genetics. The other NL male I'm keeping smells very hashy and has hybrid characteristics. Unfortunately all the female NL have hybrid characteristics.
You probably didn't need to know all that, but I don't have a journal going... so you get it.

true plants will grow more than a foot per gallon but root bound yes just figure plants roots go as far as they are high now if theres to little soil the plants root system is going to keep growing over each other witch could grow to be a problem due to the fact the soil will not have enough water and nutes avable to the plant not to mention it being airarted also ur yeild will deminish quite a bit but u are right they will live but its still isnt a good idea

5x's the soil for only twice the yeild?If ur doing that great in only a gallon grow bag why not go for a five gallon bag and watch your yeilds almost double
a 5 gal pot takes up some decent room... a 1 gal pot takes up very litle root...

I'm kind of a newbie to this whole thing, but I've done a lot of research.... Can I ask though, what is the peroxide for? Is it to adjust pH?

a couple things... 1 - it sterilizes an environment... killing of all bacteria, good or bad, 2 - provides an oxygen rich environment in larger quantities..

i almost always use 3 gallon, but this was an experiment I've been doing, for about a year..LOL...seeing how much i can pull out of small pots......I may not get quite as much as I would in a five gallon pot, but I'm saving 80% in my soil and pot costs and i can also fit more plants in the room, my experiment has shown me...i was wasting materials before....5 gallons is to much soil, indoors, for one plant....you literally waste money on dirt(because you can grow just as big a plant in 3 gallons, that's 2 gallons of wasted soil) and lose space in the grow room........my grow is producing more and it costs me less...in smaller pots than I ever did in bigger ones, that's why I'm staying in the small ones for good.......If ur doing that great in only a gallon grow bag why not go for a five gallon bag and watch your yeilds almost double
