Hey guys iv got 5x photo’s in a 3x3 under a 300w AC Infinity whole setup in 3gallon grow bags @21 days/3 weeks of veg….all going strong, no problems to speak of at 6weeks from seed BUT after using Mykos when transplanting from seed pots, it has made my root balls absolutely explode &i only have about an inch/25mm left in the pots…they are all from the same batch of seeds & are almost identical apart from LST iv done & so i am considering UP potting into 5gallon pots i already have from ACI & am curious to others views on this🤷‍♂️
Should i just leave them alone & flip to flower in approx another 3-4weeks in ghe pots they are in with basically nowhere for the roots to move or should i up plant them into 5 gallon pots?🤷‍♂️
I think i already know the answer
 
3x3 will be stuffed with 5 plants in it. Smallest pot size I use is 5 gal. Looking forward to a 4x4 for christmas and ditching the 3x3...
 
They will be very crowded. Typically you want to give a plant at least a 2'x2' space of its own. Especially a photo.
 
Where I found the problem with a 3x3 is that you can only realistically fit 4x 5 gallon pots in it, but if you do you'll have no room for a humidifier, so realistically 3x 5 gallon pots I would say is max for the space. I dropped from 5 gallon to 2 gallon, but have since went back up to 3 gallon to see if I can find a happy medium. I'm only growing only autos ATM. But 5x photos after a few months of veg in a 3x3 would be rainforest dense. Airflow would be very hard to maintain, and then fungal diseases can start in dark damp areas and kill your crop.
 
3 LST photoperiods in a 3x3x6 oh and 1 auto 3gal pots
