What size pots are you using for the peeps practicing no till, recyled soil. My last run I used 5 gallon buckets and want to go bigger pots now. I am increasing my grow space from 2x3x8 closet 400w hps to a 5x5x7 tent 600w digilux. And will also have another 4x4x7 tent for the 400w. Thinking 10gal pots or should I go bigger? I ussually veg for a month before I flip to 12/12. And train using a screen method. Looking at the smart pots, since they have them locally and I dony have to wait for shipping.

I picked up 4 15gallon smart pots, might get the 20 gallons too. I really like the look of these bags. And I wont have any holes in the bottom of containers making a mess letting dirt and rocks thru.

Pick the biggest you can fit. You can run multiple cultivars in one pot. I used to run 1x 45 gal in a 2.5 x 2.5 tent.

I would not put a 20 gal pot if your only growing plants that are going to be a few feet tall. I have always found that pot size is directly related to plant size. I have a short grow space. It is only 5 feet tall so when I grow I use 5 gallon pots and no more than 40 days of veg to keep them from hitting the lights when they stretch.
