Apologies if a similar question has been answered already. Just looking for a few recommendations on pot size for an indoor AI (nirvana) grow. This will be my first non bag-seed grow and I'd like to give the roots plenty of room in case my thumb turns super green. The strain... if you're not familiar: Nirvana Aurora Indica feminized (5 seeds) What I have already: Shop 14"H x 18"W x 18"D Resin Pot at Lowes.com Edit: Just realized I have the smaller size: http://www.lowes.com/pd_126826-77374-57914.0_0__?storeId=10151&Ntt=57914&UserSearch=57914&productId=3079605&N=0&catalogId=10051&langId=-1 Hoping these pots are plenty but I really don't want to run out of room. Should I spring for the bigger size? I really appreciate any help. Gracias.
Well for the most part, the bigger the pot, the bigger the pot, LOL. But I think those 14" tubs (probably 7 gallons, right?) should be plenty for an indoor grow. I mean shit, one of my plants is in a measly old 3 gallon round pot, and its 4 feet tall and still vegging! You'll be fine.
Tyvm man. I'm sorry for not thanking sooner. After I asked, I realized how easy it was to find that info. I almost always search first when I have a noob question. The one I have with the bagseed (which was the first link) is actually 3 gal and you're definitely right about the potential in even a 3 gal. Plus I realized how much smaller that Indica would be than my bagseed (got lucky, very lanky and beautious). But anyway, sorry for my manners. Peace my friend.
Hey, no reason to apologize my man! I'm a noob too, so I understand. Next year I am going to grow in AT LEAST 5 gallon pots. But it is possible to do a successful grow in 3 gallon pots though for sure.
Beautiful plants man. School starting for me soon and stuff so it is now looking like my hobby has to wait a bit but this place is such a great resource. Crazy.
Me too :-/ Starting my last year of schooling for my degree. Fall is going to be so depressing. Of course, my plants will be harvest-able and all, and it will be my first harvest ever so that will be exciting, but summer is where its at. I love tending to the garden outdoors, weather, back porch chillen and smokin, etc. Fall means coldness, and this green thumb gets depressed I don't have the ability to grow indoors here. Next summer awaits!
