There's only space for 5, 5gallon flower pots to work with. Germinating 10 seedlings *prayin for 5 females* ... anyways here's comes the problem, instead of takin chances of germinating just 5 seedlings, figured odds be better trying 10. So for now, until plants reach sexing, what size pots should be used for atleast 11 inches of plant growth or until plants sex shows. As of the moment pot sizes are 1 and a half quarts per plant. How much grow room will 1 and a half quarts grow? U think its enough room for 11 inches of growth??

a quart-and-a-half pot can easily support a plant over a foot tall ... I grew 5-footers out of 8" pots for a long time,( but I didn't know any better at the time ... the pot size is directly related to the yield ) ... :smokin:

I believe the general rule is you need a gallon for every foot of growth.

Mine have been fine in 1-gallon pots. My tallest one is 33" and packed with buds. I was worried because most people here said 2-gallon was the minimum.

But I found a lot of sources that said anything from 1-4 gallons was good so I stayed with them. I'm pretty satisfied with what I've got so far.

A buddy of mine grows 2 plants per 5-gallon bucket. He just sets them far enough apart that when the roots tangle it's far into the growing already so they don't kill each other.

is that only because the plants will grow bigger?

Or would the same size plant (vegetative wise not roots) produce more bud with a bigger pot.
