Pot size for 6 plants in a 4x4

[Rollitupwarrior]

Hi, just wondering how big of pots I should be running for 6 plants in a 1.2mx1.2mx2m tent (4x4). I was originally planning on running 4 but was gifted 2 other clones of different strains. The medium will be coco/perlite with GHE Flora Trio + calmag and I will be hand watering once per day. Is 5 gallon the smallest I can go for feeding once a day?

Coco is different than soil. 3 gallons would be enough. 5 is a little big for a coco grow, but would stay wetter for longer since you're hand watering just once a day. Set up some type of drip system if you can to get all the benefits of coco

Great, might try 3-4 gallon pots, I was going to use fabric pots but during my last grow I noticed they started to turn white from the bottom up with what I think was mould. When dealing with high humidity, like in the 70% range, should I be using plastic pots? Any other recommendations appreciated

You can buy risers for your fabric pots to keep them elevated and let air flow..even my air pots are on risers because of all the holes I don't want them sitting in there own water..wi5h the air pots and fabric ones I don't thinknid ever go back to regular plastic pots
