Ive always used 6.5 ltr pots for my 12/12 grows and theres always been plenty of space for the roots but i rekon i could drop down a few sizes with no adverse effects, these 4.5 ltr square ones ive seen look good so im gonna give them a bash, for my clone grows there be perfect but for the seed grows ill have to wait and see.

its a good idea mate you will fit loads in a small space! i have a root question, do the roots keep growing right till the end of the plants life or do they slow/stop when they start flowering? i have never thought about this before so dont know the answer.

..... i guess i didnt answer your question....... depends where you live / how much you pay for electricity ...... a 400w in my end of the world ..... very little man , i would say 40 -50$ a month or less ..... staggering isnt it, i myself at a time thought even a 1000w hps setup would raise suspicions but i know of a few 4 - 6000w grows that dont steal power and stay under the radar :D

Im not 100% but from my observations when running DWC or NFT where you can see the roots is that they continue developing right the way through flower. I would imagine that towards the end of the plants life it stops working on the roots and puts all its energy into the buds.

Hello billy, was off line for good few weeks thanks to BT fucking something up at their end. Hows things mate, you got those LED panels you were after.

I spoke to a guy in Glasgow who done a 300 plant grow with loads of 900w LED's and plasma lights. He was gutted. Says he was pulling roughly 3.5oz per plant using MH and then it dropped to 1.5oz using LEDS's. Says he only saved about £900 on leccy. He is back using MH and HPS and sold the LED's and plasma lights for a fraction of what he paid. So eh, they aint no good for me

He used the same space, exact same conditions and strain. Only thing he changed was the lights. It was about 3 weeks ago. I was all for them but I was just sold on the guys sales pitch. The are nowhere near MH or HPS for flowering

This guy is a large scale grower who has over 20 years experience. He tried something new and it didn't work. Im in this for the $'s so LED's aint for me. If LED's is your way then thats OK.lol
