Hello, I'm going to be start my first guerrilla grow in about a month. I am by no means an expert in how much space these little fellers need for their roots. So I'm seeking the expert opinion of a veteran grower. I'm going to grow a northern lights, in a biodegradable peat pot. I plan to put into a larger pot once roots show signs of penetrating the peat walls. My question is, how much space do these guys need. I know that some strains need at least a 5 gallon container. However, I need to know exactly how much these northern lights will want to root so I don't get a humongous bucket and bust my balls trying to flush that. Thanks in advance!
i use 10 litre polythene potting bags they are bags that once finished you can dump the soil the bag and the root stump all at once.
it helps to keep disease at a minimum as you are using new pots constantly.
they will take an indoor 3 month plant no problem.
1 week seedling grow, repot and 3 weeks veg and 8 weeks flower
gives you a nice fast turnaround of skunk and average yield is about 2 ounce per plant.
they cost 30p each in the uk.

you can get 30 litre ones for 55p
why put one plant under a lamp for a long time when you can get 12 ounce evry three months from 6 plants under a 600w dual spectrum hps.
these dual spectrums are great to stop plant stretching, you end up with short stumpy filled out plants.
