36in of grow height...what size container should I use?

[SeaLevelGrower]

I am using a 1000w HPS air cooled hood, in a grow tent measuring 4x4. I only have 36 in of height after I take into consideration that I will need 18-20 inches of clearance from plant tops to light, and I would like to lift the pots off the ground 6-8 inches. What size soil container should I use?

Maybe two gallon? How many plants do you plan on growing? And have any idea when in veg you will switch to 12/12 (height wise)?

Why do you keep asking this same question when a lot of us already told you the answer?:wtf:
....not nice to hijack someone else's thread bro.

I was asking that for his sake. Because he has limited space for the plants to grow. I already know what I'm doing for mine.

2 or 3 gallon container

veg to about 20" tall and use Bushmaster to control your stretch in flower :thumbsup:

I plan on growing Indica dominant strains...and I would like to veg for the shortest time possible. If I use 3 gallon containers, I plan to have 15-20 plants. If 36in is my max height...how tall should I let them grow before switching them into flower? I would imagine approx 12in max?! Also...I will be starting with clones, not seeds.

What is bushmaster?

[beefyberg]

Yes 12in max. They can triple in size during flower, which would be nice with that many plants =) thats going to be one packed tent.
