Am doing my first grow in 30 years, first ever in a pot, and first grow with my girlfriend’s son.
We have a GSC (feminized) in a 5 gal pot. The plant is 30” tall and growing great. We are on Long Island, NY, zone 7a. I expect that this plant will go into flower late August/early September, or 12 weeks from now, with harvest in Nov.
Our plan was to start bringing the plant indoors during cold and rainy weather during the flower stage. That seemed okay when we were dealing with a 5 gallon pot, but watching this thing grow I’m wondering whether we need a bigger pot?
I’ve read other posts about using larger pots and the consensus seems to be to go as big as you can handle.
Our questions are:
What size plant can I expect in a 10 gallon pot and how difficult is it to move a pot/plant of this size?
If we stay with the 5 gallon pot and force the plant to self-limit, will that affect the quality of the end result?
Appreciate any advice you can provide!
