When I started growing a couple years ago I made every stage too long so the plant would have a good foundation, and grew in 5 gal pots so the roots had plenty of room. Worked ok.
But then I read that people preferred 3 gal, reason being that they can fertigate more frequently. Makes sense, so I switched to 3 gal. Worked ok.
But lately I look at a lot of indoor grow pictures and people are growing in 7+ gallon pots? Did I miss some development?
If you are growing indoors, with bottled fertilizer, and not a huge grow tent, what is your preferred pot size?
*I realize that living soil grows require very large pots to support the soil biome. I'm not considering that (and I can't justify having an 80-lb 15+ gal damp mass in my house).
I grow in a 4x4x7(?) ft. tent with 2x 200 W led lights; in soil and testing out different liquid/powdered nutes. I think a lot of newbies probably have a similar setup.
