3 gallon pots are the best for CFL's and anything bigger depends upon your space.

nice growing guys. After three months of not growing/smoking I have only one month to go until I start my grow again. This time last year I was cutting down my first 12/12 grow. damn wife and her ... you need time off weed. took time off and screw that 
January 1st a new grow is starting. This will be my first christmas/new year in the past 10 years I will have nothing.

Not trying to be a smartass but the only thing you do differently when growing 12/12fs is the light cycle. It's all about simplicity. Some of us are lucky enough to have other hobbies/interests/lives and we desire simplicity.
Bigger pot size = feeding less often
Plant size/height = genetics
Yield = genetics
I think if you averaged out every grow on this thread, you would end up with the average yield per plant of 1.5 zips.

i can say i get a consistent average of 1.5 oz. from 12/12. and i use a different strain every 2 months. both indica and sativa dominant. some closer to 2oz. dry, some closer to 1oz.

Pot size still affects size and yield quite a bit.

1/4 bit AT MOST!

Tell you what, you grow in a party cup and I will grow in a 5 gallon bucket and we will see who has the biggest yield!

I wouldn't do 5 in that small of space. I would do only 2, 3 at most and would use 3 gallon pots. Lighting depends on how well you cam ventilate. I would go with a 400 watt hps or several cfl's.

when growing 12/12 from seed. Do I use hps light from the start or use mh for vegging for a few days then switch to hps?

I'd be interested in this experiment. 12/12 from seed. Prolly fit 7-9 cups in the space a 5gal pot/bag takes. Soon as I get the rest of my gear set-up, I will post it in here.

When growing in coco a smaller pot size can be ideal so that you're feeding more often. I'm using 6L airpots and my super haze dries out every two days but my crit. kush and vortex take about four days to dry up the same size pot. So really it's the plant's genetics that determine what would be best for it.
mantiszn, you guys get 2-3 dry weight?

I grow in soil 50/50 FFOF/Happy Frog under a 400W CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide). 12/12 from seed obviously.
Damn, 2-3 Oz dried? I must be missing something.
I've been doing this for a while but average 3/4 - 1 Oz bone dry off most of my plants. Though I'm growing a lot of Subcool's gear which seems focused on smell/taste/high rather than weight.
Regarding pot sizes, it hasn't made too much of a difference so far that I've seen, aside from having to feed more often in a smaller pot. I use 1 gallon pots as my staple, but I also have 2 and 3 gallon pots as well. I recently grew some Silver Kush, one seed in a 1gal, another in a 3gal. Somehow they both look identical, which is rare from seed. But I though the 3gal would be a little bit bigger. Nope. Just never had to feed it, whereas the 1gal needed feeding much earlier.
Either way, weight doesn't concern me so much. It's all personal and I harvest 2 plants every month. It's way more than I can smoke by myself. I give lots away to friends under the guise that I'm rich.
If you aren't familiar with CMH bulbs, get to it! They kick some serious ass for 12/12 growing!
