What size pot/pots in a 3x3?

I've got a 3x3 tent and this run I'm doing two 5 gallon and one 10 gallon. Next run I will def do four 10 gals. The 5 gallon are a bit more work.

My tent floor has a roughly 3x3 washing machine drain pan with wire closet shelving that the pots sit on, so there is air flow under the pots. I very rarely get any runoff and when I do, it evaporates during the 12 hour lights on, but the drain pan is there just in case. With this setup, I'm confident four 10 gallon pots will fit. Like you said, it will be wall to wall.

It wasn't a high yielding strain anyways, so I'm rather pleased with the outcome with it. The timber is 400w. I got a 4x4 with boards, but I still like my timber a lil better. I would like to try their cypress line though. The bar style is where it's at imo.
I have 400 watts in my tent maybe 1000 ppfd or more idk but what I'm getting at you don't think it's slightly over kill lol I feel like if you crank that light you better have everything right...I'd keep it down like %80 and lower than that last week or two of flower...in my head I feel like it could slightly preserve terps keeping it cooler near than end of flower

I think its doable but I feel like I'm goin to do one big pot...the way u said that I'm guessing ur 10 gal plant was the biggest

Amazon has some tall fabric 10s that have less than 14inch diameter allowing 4 but I still wouldn’t do it.

I have notes here from a run, seed started Dec 5th, went to two 7s with Scrog/super cropping. Harvested April 20 after 10 full flower weeks. Yield was 18 oz dry plus hash larf. Promix with nutes and minor amendments.

Could have improved a lot on that run too but it was decent. Easily could have been faster.

Anyway my style ain’t your style which is all good. I’d choose something quick tho especially with how you wanna roll. Regardless let us know how it goes. I’m wrong all the time and old enough to not mind haha.

I'm really considering one single 30 in the 3x3...but 18 ozs bro that's awesome in a 3x3?

Nah, it kills it. My temps are never over 80.

3 x 3..... If that was my space , I think I'd try two 10 gallons or one 15...
Not alot of room
The tent is 8feet tall 3 feet wide I feel like I could get massive plant so I agree 1 15 would kill it but in my head I'm like I got all this soil why not do a 30 even after the 30 I got another 40 gallons left

Thanks, yep the same 3x3. Sounds like you have a nicer tent too being actual 3x and 8 foot. That’ll help. It was actually my best run to date. I chased a lot of experiments after that and have been failing quite frankly. Had a 10 gallon pot yield 2 ounces once after ruining my soil slowly. I knew it was going to be bad but now know to cut my losses and start over pronto.

I’ve never done a true sip but I had a couple runs set up watering from the bottom mostly and the growth was insanely fast. I never took the final step of making revisor. If going one biggie I’d vote sip too.
