What size pots ?

[oldmac]

The closet is 24" deep and 36" wide. I will be using a Procyon100 for a lighting source.

Hello Chemteach7,

The limiting factor to growing big is going to be the Procyon 100. It does not have the light penertration of a HID light, you are going to run outa steam if you grow much over 2'. You could grow 3'-4' tall but you'll find the top 2' bushy and the bottom barren.

If this was my space, I'd grow SOG (sea of green) style plants and keep finished heights to 18" or less. I'd use 4" square pots, and pack them 9/sqft and could get abt 54 plants in that space. I might also consider 2-CFLs (2700K for another 100w or so total) on either side of the Procyon, to help fill the rectangular shaped space and to help flowering.

Here's a pic (I've posted before) of a SOG type plant, abt 10" tall (in a pot a little too big) to give you an idea of SOG.

I am starting a closet grow and buying pots and dont wnt to waste money. Home depot has: 10" 5qt or 12" 12 qt. Which would be better ? If these will not work, what will ? the 12" is 3 gallon.
