As a rule of thumb in hydro...DWC, you can use 5 gallon buckets or 10 gallon sterlite tubs...1 plant per tub...or make a recirculating system, Grow a MUM, and clone it...veg until plants are 12-18" tall, then flower. this allows you to grow more plants smaller, and acheive the same grams per watt or sq. foot or whatever you are shooting for. If you want trees from seed..then you have to go thru sexing, and that will end up requiring as many as 3 grow spaces...whereas with cloning, you can use a small cloning area, and veg them 'til you need them. sorry, rambling on
latewood Reviewed by latewood on . New to hydro I know for soil that you want a gallon pot per month the plant will grow, but is there a rule of thumb for hydro? I am researching different systems, and want my plants to grow to a height of 2-3 feet or so, what size container should they be in, or does it even matter since the roots can expand beyond the pot? (Did I just answer my own question?) Rating: 5
