Is 3 gallon pots good enough??

When my babies are ready is 3 gallon pots good enough??

3-5 gal containers are perfect.

Its fine if you're fine with it. You won't yield as much but I'm sure the plant will be happy. My first harvest was from a 2-gallon pot and I only yielded around 24 grams of some fine Goo.

I use 2 gallons for my autoflowers and 5 gal. for my big girls.

so if i get 5 gallon pots it will be better?

Yup...The bigger the better also the longer you veg the better.

I guess it depends on how much room ya got. I run 600 watts on ten girls in 2.5 gallon pots and my yield stays at 5-7 oz's per grow. I only have a closet though.

If you get pots bigger than 2.5 you will have a better yeild....How long do you veg for?How much space are you working with?

Yeah, I know but I like growing 4-5 strains per grow, for personal use so its all good.
I veg. to the 6th node and flip usually keep em under 30 inches.

the rule of thumb that i have read is 1 gallon per 1' of plant.. if you are not going to let the plant grow beyond 3', a 3 gal pot is perfect..

depends on a couple things like how many you want to do and what size area you're working with. I was having a hard time deciding between 1.5 gal and 3 gal square containers. my area's pretty small so I figured I'd just try to get as many in as a possible so I went with the 1.5 gal containers but if you have the room and lighting to grow them bigger, I'd go with the 3's or they make round squatty 5 gallons that work well too.

hope this helps

-nb.

I'd highly recommend 5 gallons if you have the room. With 5 gallons I had a 2 ounce plant without co2. Is that even good? Well it was some very good Kush so to me it was great!

3 gallon is good my plants are 4 feet tall already in the 3 gallon pots, dont worry about them gettng root bound because ive seen plants grow nice and big in 1 gallon pots

damn how big wuz the plant wen it wuz done

3 gallons are a prefect size if your space is limited. You can easily get a solid yield if your army survives.

I am using 3 gallon pots, and I have to say I am pretty happy how tall my babies have gotten to about close to 4 feet.
