Pot size (soil) needed for 1 plant to fill 2x4 area?

Hi folks, I have a chocolope seedling that I will be transplanting later this week from its 1gal pot, to it's final home. My goal with this plant is to fill up a closet ( 20inx48inx7ft). I have ran this strain before with great success, and since it bushes out so well, I wanted to try it by itself to fill up my space.

So the question is, what size container would I need to acheive this? So far the largest pot I have used is 8gal, but if that is too small I can buy a larger one. I am using a version of Subcools super soil (pro-mix base instead of roots) and I would like to have the ability to just add water, but I do have some Blue mountain organics bottled nutrients just in case the plants need a little boost.

Lastly, I am unsure how long the veg period will take, but I plan on riding it out untill my room is 75% filled in horizontally, so if i were to guess how long veg would be, it would be just that, a guess at best.

a tote is one of those plastic tubs for storing stuff in. they come with a lid, which makes a nice drip-pan.

couldnt agree more, and a 2x4 area he could even use something bigger than 10 gallon but 10 gallon is enough space to support 6-7 weeks veg time so that should be sufficient. and the cover does make a great drip pan.

20 gallon would be great but make sure your tent or area can support a plant that big as it gets pretty damn big when done correctly. 9 feet last summer doing one outside.
