Vivosun 5gal fabric pots seem very tiny. For 5 plants in a 48x48x80” tent are these fabric pots good size to max yield? Should i return for larger? Theyre 12.5” wide and 9” height. Is it easier to maintain the larger sizes?

Kinda depends on what your trying to do but I normally do 3-4 in 5g in a 4x4 and I think that’s plenty but it really depends on style/ plan

Just do 4 different strains max yield. Soil mix w 20% or less of coco mixed in under LED. The size has me confused it doesnt seem like it would be like the space a 5gal bucket could hold so whats the difference between?

I’m not sure of your skill level but my advice if it’s novice is to pick soil or coco regardless of the fight this could start and I’d go one maybe two strains. Number of plants depends on how long you want to veg

Beginner. What do u mean fight this could start? I started them all the same time pretty much except one. cuz one seed didn’t make it sadly but now i got al but 1 4 weeks into veg and last 1 is only 1 week do u think theyll even out fine and be ok by time to flower? U only need to veg like 3 weeks min for most varieties to start flower right? The strains i chose are important to me especially medicinally so im hoping for some major luck

By fight I mean soil and coco are two different mediums that do best by themselves. Yes there are brand mixes like this and some do it successfully but not most. As far as veg I’d say most are sexually mature in a month they can be flipped sooner but that usually means they will take a little longer to start flowering.Not a big deal. I say go with one strain as a beginner because they all could, probably will, have different needs and it’ll set you up for failure if they’re treated the same

Good news ty but the 1 week veg one is a fast flower variety but I’m just hoping the height difference will be ok

Fast versions are supposed to have shorter flowering times but you can keep vegging till it catches up. I probably should of already asked this but your planning on growing photoperiods right?

What do you mean one week veg one? You asked about returning pots so I’m assuming you haven’t even started yet?
