Hey , I've been growing for about 4 years now , and am going to be making the switch from holes to smart pots. I was hoping you guys can inform me about what kind of yield I can expect from a 400 gallon pot if grown correctly . I will be using top end soil to fill each one . My holes are currently to small and I'm not yielding what I would prefer . Thanks any feed back will be much appreciated .

Ide say 2-5 pounders are average in a 200 if grown right so I'm assuming more than that in a 400...12 MAX sounds about right if your a master grower with good genetics

The black one up front is suppose to be a 200 gal. I got them used..They're alot bigger than my 100 gals. I pulled over 2lbs from the big plant in my profile pic and 1 1/2 off the ones in the back. This year they are bigger.

I don't know what kind of funds you have but if your buying expensive dirt with alot of plants 200 gals might be the way to go...or even 300s..that's a whole lot of dirt

For my holes I spent a little over a 100 a yard and wasn't satisfied really . This next year I was planning on filling all them with fox farms or black and gold . At 12 bucks a bag and 14 bags to fill one 400 pot it will add up . I'm planning on 32 pots . I also was thinking the same thing about using 200 gal to save money . What's your thoughts

I think the 200s would suit you better. You can still grow monsters in them and save half the cost of soil

Cool thanks . Yeah I've been going back and forth on the 200 gal pots . I was just afraid that I couldn't get 3 or 4 pounds out of it . I feel much more comfortable with 200 gal pots knowing that they can produce a good amount if grown right .
