the 2000W viparspectra light only puts out 395W. our plants seemed to be quite root bound in the 5 gallon buckets. seems like 7-10 seems to be the best size but also depends on how long you veg them for too doesnt it?
I've seen lots of 1 pound plants in 5gallon pots. Don't know which you would want a bigger one.the 2000W viparspectra light only puts out 395W. our plants seemed to be quite root bound in the 5 gallon buckets. seems like 7-10 seems to be the best size but also depends on how long you veg them for too doesnt it?
Just to clarify, I didn’t mean you can’t have great results in a small pot. Just that if you looked at the root ball of one of those 1lb plants in a 5 gal, it would be rootbound. But I admit this is an unpopular opinion.
so in your opinion, smaller pot but water it more often will be the better way to go?Really no such thing as root bound in a short container grow. Smaller pots will need nutes and water more often. And may limit the final size of the plant.
Too large pot and wont need water often enough for best results.
Also depends on light and space.

I have thrown carpet where people put there dirty stinky feet for the better part of 30 years....Nobody would ever confuse me with being wimpy or weak...Having said that...I hurt my back pretty good moving a 10 gal pot last season(i dont know how that shit happens...but it WILL happen to you someday...when you least expect it) trust me....blows aging...A guy spends an awful lot of attention making sure the plant dont get injured and forgets about himself...Bigger the pot the easier it is to grow a nice plant providing you don't over water and some strains truly like more dirt to express there full potential as i have been learning hands on with the super silver haze strain....pretty significant difference between the plants i grew in pot's v.s. the plants i stuck in the ground without a doubtYou can still lift a 15 or even 20 gal just a pain in the ass. IMO Larger containers are more forgiving to under watering and less forgiving to overwatering. Best of luck finding the pot size that suits you!
