  1. Which one should I use for flower? Would 5 be fine for a 4-6 foot plant that's lstd so it's bushy too

  2. Is it a sativa or a indica ? I'm sure 5 gallon would be enough for a plant that size .
    i find good success with a gallon of soil to every 12inches of growth .

  3. A 3 gallon pot would be enough.

  4. I've done 3 gallon smart pots my last 3 grows. They have turned out good. Starting a new grow as soon as my beans get here. I got 3 new 5 gallon smart pots recently and will be using them this time. Trying to increase yield by at least 2 oz.
    I an only dream about having room for 7 gallon pots.  Use the 7 gallon if you have the  vertical space.

  5. Good point. I was thinking of using a 10 gal smart pot but I'm worried that it will get too big height wise inside my tent. Height in the tent is 6.6. It's a Indica strain so they won't stretch as much. Maybe I should use a 7 gal instead of 10 what what you recommend?
     
  6. On a good run I can get about an ounce per gal of soil, with either bottled nutes or organics.
     
    I do like to go overboard though, as my soil is inexpensive. Would be nice to grow 4 half pounders in a 4x4 with 10's, probably be easier than trying to do it with 7's, I think.
