id say 1 gallon to be safe
Get the deep 1 gallon pots. They are not very wide so they can be packed close together, but still allow a good bit of roots. technically roots like to spread out, and often do not use much of the middle of the pot, but for that small I doubt youll run into much of a rootbound issue. Have you considered a planter box instead?
A planter box can be very shallow, 5-6" deep, whatever width and length you want. This is really all they need, because they have tons and tons of space to spread out amongst eachother. You can pack a lot of plants close together this way. Just make sure its all the same strain (and preferably the same mother) so you get more uniform growth.
ive neva tried the SOG method yet....but my pots r only 6"(bout 1/2 gal) and they r 2ft tall....but would have been alot better if i had a bigger pot for sure...but they have done alright, especially for the little watts i was using(2 40w floros to start-4 40w for last month-u check my grow log and c if ud like) ;) GLQuote:
