im gonna grow 4 plants under a 600w hps in a Homebox XL grow tent (1.2mx1.2mx2m). I have 11litre pots. Are they ok to use or shall I go for bigger ones?

Those will be OK, but the bigger the better! I am using 5 gallon pots. That is about 19 liters.

will the plants grow bigger in larger pots? some said they grown 4 under a 600 and got 4-5oz per plant.

the standard is 1 gallon for every foot in height you want the plants to finish at. To get 4-5 oz you will need at least a 5 gallon pot. Good Luck

As long as pot size will not cause a space problem someone can never pick too large of a pot size to grow in but they can very easily and often do pick a pot that is too small. When picking a pot size try to think like a female and if you can do that you will always think that bigger is better and by doing so you will be far less likely to make an error in choice.

Sugar? "No thank you, Turkish; I'm sweet enough." That is why I chose Brick Top for my username ... because I am so incredibly and unimaginably sweet.

Yeah dude, I have an XL. You'll grow 4 big kick ass plants under a 600 in that.

I grow a few more in mine but my yields are doing good.
