Planning my 4800 watt flower room

Still deciding if I want to go with 3 gallon or 5 gallon. 3 gallon would be enough and use less soil but at the same time I think i'd rather go a little bit bigger just to be on the safe size.

Sounds good. I only ask because I will be running a setup almost similar to yours. Just on a smaller scale at first until I dial the environmental conditions in, then I will expand and add more lights as I need them. I do not plant on vegging mine for more than two weeks, three at the very most. I was going to use 2.5 gal air pots that were gifted to me, but I'm concerned with some of my plants being 10 weekers if they will run out of space. We will have to wait and see.

I imagine that with the air pots you could run a little bit smaller then a traditional pot since the pot is designed to keep the plants from getting root bound as easily.

That's what I've learned and been told by people who have used airpots. I'm also using coco, not soil so I'm hoping for the best.

When I ran organics I used a 7 gal at first. Then switched to 5 because the 7 was fucking heavy and I noticed no yield loss. They do make 4 gals as well if you want something in between.

I'm still up in the air about alot of stuff. I've always wanted to try the CCOB method....and might run one of each of these clones that way and see how they do and what the yield is like.

Not familiar with the ccob method, never even heard of it tbh. I'ma go look it up and see what it's about.

Yeah there was a huge thread of a guy using that method and a single light on a mover along with an air floor...and apparently he was having great success. I like the method itself because of its efficient use of space. If it ends up working well it just means more plants in the same area but relatively large yeild.
