What size pots ?
There are so many variables that would make or break your grow, what size room are we talking about here? lights? I am using 1.5gallon and would like to think that works for me. I have seen three and 5 gallon containers being used and I wish i had that kind of space. basically cannabis root goes deeper then wide so that is one thing to think about, another would be why donnie and marie osmond are always on ET show, and yeah i mean every frigging day, it could be a clip about dying meerkats and they will cut to donnie's thoughts.... eeeck

What size pots ?
Hey if height is not an issue then go big if you are able. I bet three gallons in a closet would be nice, since yours is not that deep maybe start off with 1-2gallons and play around after that. Are you going to scrog or not?

What size pots ?
I have 8' of Height to play with. I am not familiar with Scrog ?????? I was (am) just going to start the seeds in small 1qt pots and grow them till I can determine if they are male of female. Then transplant to the larger pots for the flowering. The Closet should hold (4-5) 12" 3gallon. My card allows 6 adult plants. I am just wondering if pot size: 10" or 12" makes a big deal when it comes to plant size or amount of bud harvested ?????????

Yes, plants diameter and depth make a huge difference in yield. It is said to have a deeper pot rather than a wider one as roots grow down first before expanding out towards the sides of the pot. You could go from 1 gal. pot in the early stages, gets a nice size go to 3 gal. pot and then two weeks before starting flowering go to 5 gal buckets. ~Food for thought~

What size pots ?
This may be a really stupid question, but here it goes............ I will be starting with "bag seed" and am wondering how much harvest to expect off each adult plant after drying ?????? How is it even estimated ???? I am thinking of going with (4) of the 12" 3gallon pots cause they will fit into the space nicely, but, with this being my first grow, how do you estimate what you MIGHT get in the end ?

What size pots ?
There really is no way to tell...It's all in the genetics of the cannabis. Including tons of other factors like how much lighting, nutes, temperature, etc. I think the least amount I've seen anyone grow is probably about 40 grams. Techniques you do may also affect the yield (pruning, topping, FIM)

What size pots ?
you never wanna count your chiken's before they lay egg's and hatch ...or somethin like that.
But yea them 3 gallon one's should be good,and if you do a nice job you can get 2 ounce's per plant.
