I’ve had a thought on that as I’m using the same pot as you. As the bases are removable why don’t we just put the base 1 level higher?? I worked out that 1 level between air holes is roughly just over 1/2 litre so just under 4 litres
. I’ve got no chance of being anywhere near the top of the tree but I still wouldn’t want any type of unfair advantage
Some things are still being worked out.
I think the discussion is leaning towards the first of August, I personally won’t be able to start until then, but this thread is an open forum for all to discuss and plan this thing. @Mikedin is the head honcho putting this all together so keep an eye on the thread and see what happens.
Hmmmm sounds like I should buy a new tent that I don’t possibly have anymore space for
. I’m a sucker for a good deal, and hate to pay for shipping. Thanks for sharing!!
Not an easy question to answer because of all the variables involved between metric and imperial measurements as well as manufacturing design. But someone else posted a chart on this thread that might help answer your question. I will see if I can find it and tag you in response to it.
My American frame of reference is about the same size a paint can, but again lots of variables as height increase, width decreases.
I found that chart:

Unfortunately there aren’t any dimensions due to that whole variable situation.View attachment 2217465Do you like math?? Lol

Some pot calculations for the curious, and not willing to bust out the calculator.
Volume Calculator
This free volume calculator computes the volumes of common shapes, including sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, capsule, cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, and more.
Most pots I have on hand are actually Conical Frustums

A conversion for those of us measuring in inches 4.5 L = 274.607 cubic inches
Just do what I'm doing, have a yard sale to make more grow space lol everything made at the yard sale goes toward new equipment! Double win!Hmmmm sounds like I should buy a new tent that I don’t possibly have anymore space for
Bingo! That’s the plan I only set the pot limit at 4.5L max anything else below is acceptable, hell people can grow in a shot glass if they’d like, just nothing bigger. It’s all for fun, only reason we’re holding off is so once people saw this a lot are at plant count max already, as I started it a month at least before the planned start date people will finish what they can and save a plant spot for the competition plant, so we figured maybe first week of august would give everyone a good month to prepare, then we’ll all get together, vote on a splash date probably around august 1st or 2nd and I’ll set the splash / germ time / veg time / and flip dates from there and off we’ll go!Honestly, there is nothing on the line but comraderie and bragging rights, so why the fuss? I like the idea of growing in 1gal or 4.5L (or whatever in between), all participants stay active in the appropriate thread and use the freaking honor system. If someone needs to "cheat" to win a friendly "competition," then I'd rather we all know who they are anyways
Definitely on to something here @Mikedin. Could alleviate a decent amount of confusion by saying one gallon or less, or the <4.5L challenge. (All entries must be in containers no larger than 4.5 liters, and hand watered) or are we allowing hydro or drip irrigation also?
Good point a drain to recirc system might be the ticket.
Mike I like the idea of keeping it pretty loose. See what people can make happen in a one gallon. Beside it’s just bragging rights.
Photos would be preferred hit you’re free to join with an auto, hopefully it’s not a 3 month nth veg strain we’re planning to flip after about 7 weeks from sprout of seed
