10 gallon or 15 gallon pots?

Been tent growing for a few years, now setting up my first room grow:
- Three 48" x 48" scrog screens.
- One Mars Hydro TS3000 above each scrog.
- Detroit Nutrient Water Only living soil (NO nutes, possibly teas/supplements as needed).
- Four pots under each scrog (because 12 plants is my legal limit).

Plan to keep scrog fairly low and veg for approx 6 weeks, and flower 8-10 weeks.

For MAX yield, will 10 gal pots be enough, or should I step up to 15 gal?

Bigger pots make badder plants and require less maintenance.

That's all I got!

Figure out how many square feet per plant you want and this will give you a better idea for the pot size.

I would do 15's. I could fit 4 plastic 15's in a 4x4. Some of the fabric pots are wider, so make sure they'll fit first. Bigger pots make bigger plants, and for living soil bigger pots are better.

Four pots per 4x4 scrog (16 sq. feet). So one pot per 4 sq ft.

10 gal is good
