Fair enough... just remember to divide the volume of your medium by the number of plants you are growing in it. You called 3 gallons a very tiny pot and that's exactly how much space you gave to your own plants... and you're using soil!

I'm not gonna grow more than one plant in same soil anymore, it's just a result of first grow excitement. They got some weird connection between them. Once one starts flowering they all start flowering. My smallest plant was literally a seedling and all three started flowering as soon as oldest one did. Will see what I decide to go with.

By the way I already have bunch of seeds, I'm not in USA but all my seeds are from FastBuds. I got 3x GSC, 3x Blue Dream'matic and 3x Zkittlez seeds from them. These Amnesias were freebies from seedsman and its my first grow so I decided to use them as a learning project before going into FastBuds ones.

I dont have a clue how good/bad are seeds man seeds..I would suggest for next run with FastBuds to use max 30l pots, and dont do more than one seed per pot..

@GentleCaveman I really think that 15l air pots are sweet spot or you can go with 20l airpots..

You can go with smart/fabric pots than..I think its almost same effect..

Airpots are better because that weird design allows to keep holes from clogging. Substrate cant push through into those spikes so air moves more freely. I bet Airpots are way more effective than fabric pots. Atleast more effective than cheapo ones like mine.

I don't think you have enough knowledge about no-till and I don't feel like explaining bunch of stuff to get help from someone I just explained bunch of stuff to. So I'm good buddy, thanks for looking out.

How much work you wants do???
Are you doing a true notill, or just useing dirt and water??
For best results,the smallest notill pot size ( indoor grow) is a size#15
I’ve grown 2-4 plants in a airpot notill in this (#15 with inputs) size for years.
HOWEVER....
In order to do this size OR go smaller you will have to use inputs
( coots or others) to keep the soils biology in tip top working shape.
Are inputs in your growing style or just water???
If you are hoping to have smaller notill pots useing just water without inputs...
Hate to tell ya
Not going to happen.
You will get a couple good runs then it’s down hill from there.
Been there
Done that.
( yeah I know old thread. Just FYI info)

Me I like 5 to 10 gallon plastic bags.
I am a lazy organic grower with a drop the seed in some biologically active home made media, water it an harvest it.

IMO 5 gallon fabric bags are too small they dry out, require too much attention having to water daily.

Imo if you want to nurse the thing you can practically grow in a solo cup..lol

I have used 4 gallon square pots under lights on a small closet once.
