Here's my two cents: The root mass doesn't have to be huge in order to support the size that most indoor growers need their plants to reach. Therefore buckets work just fine. Personally I use three gallon pots, and set them on 4x4 trays to catch the runoff.

Also as others have said it is pretty crucial if you have a confined space to be able to shuffle the plants around in order to leaf them and do other occasional maintenance, and cleanup after a round is a breeze, you can just dump the pots into trash bags.

I guess maybe it would work with a smaller setup, but the plants do just fine in 3 or 5 gallon pots at heights of 3-5 feet, and i can't imagine why you'd want to go bigger than that under lights, as the lower branches won't produce much weight and will take away energy from the top colas, therefore creating a headache for you upon harvest when you have to trim those small buds from the bottom and the yield there won't be worth it.

I would never grow in anything but containers but if you do, let me know how it goes.

growmaxx Reviewed by growmaxx on . Why do we grow in buckets, why limit our plants growth? I was kinda thinking about things and yeah I was like since the main reason a plant doesn't grow large or huge is due to that one factor alone, but what if I created a sandbox type thing but for the entire place they can grow so mainly the entire room, 14x11 would there be any disadvances or advantages of doing this? has anyone ever done this? Not only would it save on buckets it just seems like it would be overall better.. what do you guys think?? I was thinking of doing six or eight plants Rating: 5
