Depends on you and your space man.soil or hydro I go big or not at all. Coco or promix or anything of the sort I like at the smallest 7 gal and up to 400 gallon. Anything over 65 gallons are for outdoor primarily. If rdwc I do at the smallest 27 gallon up to 50 with 275 gallon or bigger rez.

Just depends. You don't need crazy huge pots. Grown five autos so far, all pulled between 6-8 ounces, all in 3 gal pots of soil mix or less. All of them went straight into 3 gallon pots of peat moss/compost mix. One plant in a 2x4 was nearly filling the whole thing.

The bottom photo is two plants in an 2 gallon and 3 gallon pot of soil. The others are single plants in 3 gal pots from the get go.

If you do go soil, 1 part peat moss, 1 part compost and 1 part perlite/vermiculite is a good start.

Add kelp meal, Neem meal, alfalfa meal and dolomite lime for an easy mix. Per 30L I usually use 1/2 cup of the meals and a tbsp of dolomite per gallon.

Canna Coco is an inert Coco mix. You will need to provide all nutrients and feed daily to runoff. I have seen some ripper plans grown in Coco,.and have used it myself. I didn't like having to feed every day during flower however.

Canna Terra Professional is their peat based soil mix. Holds more water and requires less nutrient feeding, twice a week to three times a week max. I used a similar mix and didn't have to feed until week three or four if I remember correctly.

Think of Coco as basically a hand watered drain to waste hydro setup, but with Coco coir instead of hydroton or perlite/vermiculite as a medium.
