In a room 5x7x9 is it better and more lucrative to do a greater # of small pots w/ large tops than a smaller # of large ones? Using a 1kw MH and co2

Hi rhino...

for legal reasons, it is better to do fewer plants..

for time and $$$ reasons it is better to do many little plants..

You can get more weightin a shorter period of time from smaller plants..


Ifyou are only going to use 1 light, you should try to get an HPS ratherthan a MH..

and NOW you KNOWM

what size pots would be the best for many smaller ones? I have most of mine in either 4" pots, gallon milk jugs cut in half, and 5 in 3 gallon buckets. The ones that are in the buckets have as many buds on them as 6 of the smaller ones.
p.s. thanks for the help!

I heard that if u plant marijuana in bigger pots it make the plant size smaller?
Maybe this is true because the plant keeps spreading its roots and keeps producing more roots?
Im going 2 try keeping my plantz in small potz 2 see what happens.
Hmmm....

not true... although I wish it was. I would not grow in pots smaller than 3 gallons unless i was flowering at a VERY VERY early stage.. I have consistantly seen plants in 3 gallon containers out grow plants in 1 gallon containers..
