Hi Everybody,
I am growing outdoors and I have a number of different sized pots to use (2, 4, and 9 gallon). I know the plant will grow as fast as it will grow, but I am curious if anyone has any rule of thumb for how much plant different pot sizes will support well. If I were to estimate the volume of my plant in relation to the pot size X, would I want X amount of plant, or 2X, or...? In short, how do I know the plant is large enough for a given pot to either transplant or flip to flower? Thanks.
EDIT: Some have pointed out that this may seem confusing about me flipping them, since I am growing outdoors. I am in Ecuador, the sun here is 12/12 year around. To stay in veg, I pull the plants indoors at night and give them extra light. When I want to flip them, I just leave them outdoors.
