So, what size do you use, and what is your average yield?

My flowering plants in the 5 gallon buckets right now are done in about a week. and look like they are going to yield 2.5-4 ounces.
I used to finish in 5 gallon pots, I've since followed a friends lead and downsized. Nowadays I go from 16 oz cup to a 1/2 gallon, then to a 2 gallon to finish.
Yield is unchanged from the 5 gallon, growing the strain Critical+ from cuttings. I use the Fox Farm nutrient line. The thing that I think helps the most is using their Sledgehammer rinse every few weeks to keep the salts from building up in the soil. Also the Big Bloom helps to keep the buffers from fading too rapidly as it contains ground shells which complement the buffers in most commercial soil mixes. I flower for 10 weeks and the soil pH holds out for the duration of flowering. Thought for sure there would be pH issues running that long in a 2 gallon, but it's working well. The Critical + is yielding right around 4 oz each, with the added benefit of being able to fit MORE plants under the light. :thumbsup: The 2 gallon pots are a lot easier to handle for me too!

The smaller the pot the more attention you have to give to the plants though, larger pots are a lot more forgiving I think.
DogtowN Reviewed by DogtowN on . Pot/bucket sizes. What do you use? Im curious as to what size pots people use for indoor growing. The plants I have vegging right now were clones that first got put in a red dixie cup, then moved to a 1 gallon pot for about 2 weeks. Then about a week ago i transplanted them to 3 gallon pots. So im thining in about 2 weeks ill transplant them again. I want this to be my last transplant, so should I do 5 gallon buckets or go bigger? I have some plants flowering right now in 5 gallon buckets, but I think I could yeild more if i Rating: 5
