Fabric pot size and space?

Ty but i wont need larger space for roots? The measurements are 12.5”w x 9.9” h i was thinking to do 7 or 10 gals but is 10 gals w this quantity & space good?

This is where the survey thing comes in handy. :wink:

If you’re doing a living/super soil grow, I do like a big pot. I use 20 gallons, 2 plants in a 5x5. If you’re using the nutrients though, you can get away with a smaller pot size.

Welcome to the community ! 5 gallon fabric pots will be fine. I’ve never had any problems with 5 or 7 gallon fabric pots indoors. 5 seems to dry out a little quicker than 7. Good luck

If they are autos you’ll be fine. If they are photos, you’ll just have to work them and veg them to fit the space. I just did 4 (3-3 gallons, 1-1 gallon) in a 32"x32". You could do 1 in a 10 gallon and get the same yield as 5 in 5 gallons.

Coco or soil?


This is 9 aurora indicas in 1 gallon pots in a 4x4
You can use whatever size fits but in my opinion this sea of green works or i would consider and have done 4 in 3 gallon bags under a scrog. Welcome to the forum

I prefer 4 7-10 if growing 4 photo. Just me. Can fit just fine especially if grow vertically instead of horizontal. Unless as mentioned a scrog or sog. I am a straight up grower anymore. This is 5 auto in 5gal in 4x4 of my 4x8 no training really. Plenty leftover space.

These were grown almost zero input from me. These are all natural grows. Minimal defoliation. No topping. Just feed.

Lst is a choice…not a requirement to get decent yields. My last gg in a 20gal netted over 26+ounces total with popcorns counted. No training besides fim.

I am entirely too lazy…lol. i like to go in and sit on stool while radio mystery theater plays and spinem while working.
