Estimated yield

I’m new to growing with this size I heard someone say to go with 15gal for high yields then I also seen someone say go with 5 so I just went with 10, is there something I’m missing?
The light will cover more than 3x3 so if you've got more space, like an extra half foot either direction , then more yield.

10 gal pots is excessive, fair enough more roots more fruits, but your space Is the limiting factor here.

I'd go with 4 plants myself, just not so big a pot.

Train them , fill your space, flip to flower, expect it to take longer than breeder says.

You could pull a pound, probably won't first try.

Here's what a 5g pot looks like full and measured:

I apologize for the plant that's in the way...it just sprouted up in there.

But you can see that it's 13" or more in diameter. So you could fit 4x 5g in a tent, but that doesn't account for the plants' actual growing/spreading, which is what they'll do. You will not be able to fit 4 or 5 10g pots in a 3x3. Nor is there really a need to do 10g pots for soil unless you're doing something like a no-till with ground cover.

Start with basics and don't expect much. After a few grows you maybe can expect more.

I should have extra space since it’s gonna be in a shed I was just sectioning it off

Thanks for the pics and advice, the shed is gonna be over 3x3 it’s around 7x7 I was just section it off so I can calculate how many I can have in there ( and I’m getting multiple I'm going for a perpetual grow

Have you grown before?

You gonna flip to a flowering mixture like blueberry
Yeah, the peppers will move to a flower formula in a few weeks when I hopefully get them in the ground outdoors. Nitrogen is great for leaf growth but not fruit. But I kind of ignored them in my tent and under-nourished them, and they were rough for a bit. Now back on track but they won't be able to go into the ground until late May at the earliest here. I got them going in January so that they'd have enough time to fruit, since the equatorial hots take a LONG time to maturity.
