Shallow pot?

Hi all,

Since we are all in the same club. Have you guys have success with using shallow pots in cabinet grows? My current pot is a standard 5gal square pot, 12" tall. I have found a perfect container to make a pot out of from it measures (internal diameters) 6" high x 13.5" wide x 18.5" long = 1498 cubic inch = 6.48 gallons.

So the shallow pot actually has more volume. My question, how successful have you guys been using shallow vs standard size pots? do the roots spread out in shallow pot?

im a girl lol
but its cool took me like 5 seconds read over seemed like good info thought id pass it on

opps.. sorry my lady! so I looked over those links and the answer wasn't very definitive. I guess most people said that wide pots would work. But my question is posted in the steath/cab forum. Isn't growing in a cab much different than in a room? Cab growers have to deal with more factors..

i think for me when i make decisions ultimately i think no answers are ever definitive with growing or gardening.
so i like to hear to both or multiple sides.

i posted for you because its a pretty dead time on the forum right now so you maybe waiting a while I personally have never done stealth growing
what i can say is I would be reluctant to use a shallow pot for root bound issues solely

Stealth/Cab growers need the extra height. Space is always issue for cab/stealth growers. If a shallower pot can be as effective as a standard pot, than it would be logical to use that instead. I would sacrifice some yield for that extra 6 inches.

Can't hurt to try! We get stronger with every failure.
