Indoors under a 400. Autos.
always good to experiment to see what works best in your environment....but more work looking after different sized pots as the watering pattern varies with each sizeI'll give it a shot. I think I'll keep one a 5 gallon and cut the other one in half. A comparison grow.
Thanks peeps.
Yes I know this is a dumb ass question. I'm making a few hempy buckets tonight out of 5 gallon buckets from ACE. This is new to me. I have only grown in dirt indoors and want to try something different. I've been researching this for the last 4-5 hours. On average it seems 2.5 gallon buckets are mainly used. I'm only growing autos. Is 5 gallons way overboard? Should I just jigsaw the mother in half so it's 2.5 gallons?
No I did not read all 404 pages.
Thanks guys/gal

Yeah, but basically a Reg plant gets twice the time.
i.e. 8 weeks of Veg then 8 weeks of Flower (good ballpark...I go 9-10 usually ;0)
I am thinking that they will do fine with the extra material,
and if it makes them take a bit longer to finish then it will
be, in part, because they are also bigger and will yield more.
Simpatico?

P.S. Thank you kind Sir. Engineers Dream from Breeder's Boutique.
ok...IMHO I would think a 5 gallon pot is a bit on the large side for your size of room
Yes, it really depends on whether you are growing Indoors or Out. If indoors, then the plant simply wont use the space of a 5 gallon bucket in the 3 months you have them, but outdoors is a whole other animal. I am an indoor grower and flower in 2 or 3 gallon buckets,, my plants end up about 4 feet when all is said and done.Yes I know this is a dumb ass question.

Yes you are right but I hate to throw away good plants. My space is already tight so that's why I put then in 2l's. Yeah I'm probably need to feed those girls frequently too.....when I do coco I use canna, when I do hempies I use house of garden, when I do dwc I use dutch master's. My cabinet is full of freaking nutes and additives....That's a lot of plant to stick into a 2L sky, I'm sure it will work but you'll have to water it like it was dtw...
