I might have a situation where I'll not be able to move up to 5 gallon pots this grow. I understand my yield will suffer if I don't... but I might not have a choice. Not too sure yet.

I'm growing bag seed that looks to be heavy or completely indica. The plants get about 10 hours or so of direct natural sunlight outdoors.

How tall can I expect them to get if they stay in the one gallon pots?

I grew for years under fluorescent tubes and 8"-10" clay pots ... those would be just under a gallon, my guess ... I grew 5-footers in those, but pretty much 'popcorn' buds ... top-quality, but small buds ... I didn't know about topping or LST in those days, either ... with those practices, you can actually get nice buds, nowadays ... it will keep you going for awhile, anyway ... :smokin:

I'm not sure you worded that question right, but for max yeild you dont want to get root bundles. It all depends on how health your plants are and what type of soil.

A gallon per foot of main stem. That means if the plant was topped young and is very bushy, it would like a larger pot than it's sister who is a bud-on-a-stick but the same height.

Hey Stinky could you look at this pic of my pot,it says 11ltr (euro ltrs)so what do think that would be in US gallons,
Or in other words is this big enough (4 x 4 room poss 8 ladies)?
