Megacrop... that's a 2 or 3 gallon pot... Should I be going bigger with soil??? If so,how much bigger???

Never heard of megacrop. It's always suprising how small of container hydro growers use.
I grow organically....or "naturally" and find that the larger the container the better the grow. Started with 3gal, upgraded to 5'ers and now use 30-35gal pots. Cattle nutrient totes actually

Big roots =big fruits...in soil and hydro both. I used to grow in various hydro setups then went to organic soil and I did the same thing ...started in 3 then 5 gallon and now in 7 gallon fabric bags and I like that size a lot. Useful`s seeds make me look good every harvest.

I'm not doing Hydro, its all soil... MOTHER'S EARTH is the name and worm castings and Megacrop are all I use...

@Frank Nitty Your plants always look solid. Mega crop is doing you right. I think its easier flowering in larger pots. Soil stays moist etc. Room for error. Plants like e their roots to stretch out.

That's what I need then,larger pots because my soil drys out as soon I water my plants it seems...

I like big pots because I don't like making teas and all that jazz, I just water. Build a good soil and it's gassed in a 5gal bucket in no time at all, quadruple that volume and it seems to last the plants thru finish.

Do you feel like 7gal would give you a water only grow? I'd be down with using smaller pots but these were free.

A lot of the stuff I've read about organic water only mixes are that they are doable down to the 7-10 gallon range. In the past some of my mixes were based on a a combo of Revs and Subcools, so I had a lot of ingredients and used a lot of teas. Since then I've gone more Coot style with limited inputs. At 7 gallons my mixes started running out of gas, so I'm now top dressing with all some Dr earth ferts every fee weeks. So far so good. Bigger is better for organic if you have room

Did the lots of ingredients thing a long time ago..twas pricey. Honestly I've gotten great results with espoma plant/tomato tone, seems pretty well rounded and is cheap as hell.
Now its just plant tone, worm castings and calcidic lime, I reuse the soil and put azomite and green sand in every couple-few grows.

I really like 5 gal fabric for soil airpots or plastic for coco

5 gal airpot coco but 5 gal fabric in soil will do the same should cut you watering to every otherday. I do 3 gal to have smaller more manageable plants like my last pic

Question about the fan pointed up... I wasn't sure if there would be enough air going through the canopy- but it seems a lot easier on the plants instead of an oscillating fan blowing right through them. Or maybe it was just pointed up at that moment during the picture?
