I??m the wrong one to ask as I??ve never grown in trays?..I chose buckets.
That said, I??ve nosed around for a while now and I??ve seen some ??trees? come out of buckets?..haven??t seen anything like that come out of trays. Most tray guys grow smaller plants, but more of them.

You??re a California guy (with few exceptions) limited to 6 plants in flower. That alone might help you with your decision?.it definitely influenced mine.

Best of luck,

Horsemanrocks Reviewed by Horsemanrocks on . Question to the Bucket growing friends What are the advantages in growing in buckets. Is it easier, cleaner, less of a headache, bigger yield? Can you get the same results in a 4x4 tray? Just curious. Thanks all. Rating: 5
