ive been using 5 gal fabrics for my last couple runs and decided im going to try a 3 gal run. i struggle with over watering so i hope that using a smaller pot and drying out quicker will help with that. i try to pick up the pot and feel it out, but i’m too stoned 90% of the time i’m in the tent and end up forgetting how heavy it should feel.

so i just put x3 Gorilla Glue in the tent in 3 gal fabric pots. i plan to veg for 30-45 days then flip to 12/12. I’m not looking for monster plants because i only have use a 2x4x6 tent. i hope to get a half pound off the 3 plants. not sure if its attainable with such a short veg.

I like the 5 gallon square pots the best. I’ve been using them a few years now. I had issues with watering with the fabric pots. Igo from cocco plugs to solo cups to 1 gallon to 5s. I also am pretty busy with work so I think the bigger pots give flexibility with watering. Crazy thing is I’m a plumber you would think I would plumb up a watering system. But I like hand watering it gives me time to check out the plants make sure everything is kosher

I say pot size depends on grow style. I grow organic, so my autos are in 7gal pots. These are fabric pots with gromets for trainning, and the air prunning helps to expand my root zone. They support my girls easily for the 90 days they need to finish. If I’m filling a scrog screen with a long winded sativa; A 30 gal may be needed. If I’m doing a salt run it doesnt make a lot of difference a 3gal would suffice.

It really depends on what gross style I’m using. if I’m growing in cocoa and grow dots with blumats, I Like to use a 5 gallon plastic pot. If I am doing an organic soil run amending with dry amendments and Recharge, I will use 7 gallon rain science pots.

I have been using five gallon fabric pots for a while. I’m going back to five gallon buckets this round. I think I’ll be a bit more in control of rh in the tent because of less evaporation, I’ll soon see. During the summer I’m always running a lot of air and the dehumidifier to hold the vpd in control.
