Perhaps 2/3 or 67% bigger.

I'd say you're doing quite well to get that much yield. I never have.

4 oz is 112 g. Divided by 3 equals 37.33 g per gallon. 37.33 * 5 is 186.67 g. Divide that by 28 equals 6.67 oz for 5 gallons.

I think the math is correct, but I wouldn't bet on it.

4 oz = 112 g
112 / 3 = 37.33 g per gallon
37.33 * 5 = 186.67 g
186.67 / 28 = 6.67 oz

Well why not help someone out with a bit of knowledge rather than just call people out! So many factors come into play, doesnt make someone ignorant

I agree, I was growing in 1 gal pots before this downtime and the plants grew as big as I wanted.
