One gallon pot...How much will it yield?

soil in a small pot can sometimes require attention similar to hydro, except the ph portion.

you can run in a .75g pot, but it will require multiple feeds/water eventually when it gets larger. people grow them in 16oz cups. they grow them in the tiny shot glass cups. the contest photos are on this site, check it out

i had one in a 3g pot, required daily attention since flip, growth was incredible. others ones took 3 days to dry. just depends.

if you do then you need to be smaller to begin the grow
like ive done 1 gal full run lots of times and its fine under a 400
i stay in solo cups right till 1 week before i flower, then into 1 gallon pots. if you do it your way it messes to much with the cation exchange.....,this is what keeps the ph good in the medium. verry important for the processing of foods for them.
HI just reading this thread I understand it's off topic but what do you mean by it messes up the pH? If your root bound does that make the pH of the soil drop too much? I'm only asking because I recently transplanted 1 gal into 7 gallong finals and they were over root bound within a few days of transplant I had major ph problems runoff ph was at 5.12 and ppm was 3200 ive been trying to figure out why as I always water with 6.5-6.8 never had a issue like this in the past

My 1 gallon grow bags yielded about 2oz ea with an 18 day veg flowered under 1000w hid. The biggest pain was keeping them watered, good thing I’m disabled and don’t have to work cause I was up all night every night chasing them with water. By week 3 I was watering as many times nightly.

Actually some of these comments couldn’t be farther from the truth. These ladies have been in these tiny pots since clone. The lemon Jeffery, g25/dosido have been. In these pots going on 16 weeks. I got them from a friend. Everything else has been in these pots going on 10 weeks. You have to feed them a mild nutrient solution, that’s high in nitrogen every watering is all. Im
Using botanicare. I feed them cal mag, tea, liquid karma, and micro bloom 6-0-0 formula. Ph is 6.0 . They are beautiful. Bout to transplant to 1 gal pots and let them go another 8-9 weeks in 1 gal pots. If i veg them in 3 gal pots they will get way to tall for my 5x5.

1 gallon pots can 100% yield 3-4zips these were 1 gallons trop cherry and strawberry guava and all yield more than 1.5 minimum some 3s. Vegged to 12 inches and watered multi drip feed coco. All about keeping them wet and you can do whatever. I'm gonna do some 2g as a side by side this time. I like the idea of 1s cause less nutes and substrate but we'll see. Absolutely no complaints with this run. Just vegged em bit bigger so figure might as well see what I can do in 1s vs 2s

Pot size doesn’t matter a whole lot as long as you can keep it watered. I used to use 7” square pots and coco which are a little less than a gallon and 8oz is obtainable, I also use to use 4” rockwool cubes and again 8oz yield per plaint wasn’t and issue. I use 6” rockwool now only because 4” doesn’t allow for much error in the irrigation or under watering.
