Hiya all i jsut wondered what pot sizes to start from seedling ,i was hoping i could put them in 1 pot from seedling through the vegging phase , into its final pot in the flowering stage , i am going to use 11 litre pot for the flowering stage but i am abit stuck on wat sizes to use through the vegging phase , i will be using a 250 watt cfl , ?
From what I've read and experience, the plants will more fully utilize the soil when you transplant more often during veg. The roots grow outward, but don't really put root tissue throughout the soil until they hit the side of the pot (or bag). Once in flower, root growth seems to take a backseat, and you don't need to transplant much, if at all.
You can still do it though, and if you're training the plants, transplanting becomes an extra hassle.
For a 250W CFL grow, an 11 liter pot may be all you need. In soil, pot size is one of the critical factors in the yield you'll get, but other factors come into play, too, like light and the strain you're using.
Sativa dominants seem to reward you more for giving them larger pots than indica dominants, so for a cheese grow, you probably won't go terribly wrong with an 11 liter pot.
One thing people need to remember is that everyone's grow room/cabinet/setup is different, and YOU will become the expert using your setup. Go with 11 liters this time around, try a larger pot/bag next time.
