    I just got my 3 gallon smart pots and Now looking at them it’s smaller than I expected and now I’m scared my shit will go root bound or be a low yield, I’ll be growing Bruce banner auto and night queen auto.

    Don't do it unless it's in coco. I'm in a 5 in soil and I think I fucked up my yields underestimating autos. I'm still going to get a good harvest but I have to feed and water a lot more then I like. Plus the fabric pots aren't as big as they claim ie 5 gallons of soil wouldn't fit in one.

    Keep them if you want I'm just letting you know. If growing in soil go with the largest pot you're comfortable with. In coco it doesn't matter as much you just have to feed Motrin smaller pots. In soil small pots=small yields.

    Ok thanks, how much of a difference would it be if I were to switch to 5 gal, and I’m growing in soil :(

    Noticable. Expect around 1oz per gallon of soil for the most part.

    Yeah as the guys said there, you want bigger for soil growing.
    On a side note too, that night queen is one of the strongest things going.
    Lethal :)

    Damn that’s very good to know because I’m growing night queen for my sister, she has a high tolerance and needs to smoke every night because she gets these seizure like episodes in her sleep and cannabis is the only thing that helps it

    The photo version is the strongest weed I've grown by a long shot. Pure Indica and leaves you utterly rubberized. Get purple trails off your hands after a fair blast lol.
    Probably the strongest auto I've done too. Top 3 anyway.

    Your definitely right about amount of soil not fitting in the proposed pot

    Back when I was using soil, 5 gallon Smart pots were my favorite.
