Usually with photos in the past I've vegged in a 1 or 3 gal, then up potted a week or so before flipping to either a 3 gal or a 5 gal depending on the size of the plant. For the past year or so I've been mostly using gaia green organic ammendments to make a soil out of promix and worm castings.
I've recently swapped back to GH bottled nutes and that's what I'm using now for this run. This was a one off seed I accidentally created when pollen from a reversed mephisto mango smile got from one tent into another so I have no idea what the stretch on this girl will be like.
So far the plant is looking very health and getting fairly large. I just won't have tent space to flip it for another couple of weeks while I'm waiting for my flower tent to clear out. About 3-4 weeks ago I moved it into a 5gal tall.
If this was organic soil I would definitely want a bigger container for flower but I'm not sure if I can get away with a smaller container with bottled nutes or if I I'll need to move to a 7 or maybe even 10 gal to avoid root binding if I won't be flipping this one for another few weeks.
Current size is roughly 17" above soil with the canopy untrained roughly 16"x16"
TLDR; 5gal tall good enough with GH bottled nutes, or would I need to go up. If up, 7 or 10 gal?
