They do look very nice indeed.But when i grew my 1st grow i used the 3.2 gal planters and mine ran out of root room,so this time i used 5 gallon buckes and used alot vermiculite in the soil & didnt fill them all the way to the top,should i have gone with a smaller planter as you did or is 5 gallonn ok.I have 9 foot tall room and its about 6 ft by 8 foot so i figured i could let them vegatate alot longer this time and let them get about 4 ft high then turn the time back to 12-12.
