    The total weight of each brick is 1.4 pounds. I will be using 6 pots 3? 3gallan fabric pots and 3, 5 gallon pots. Watering is not an issue.

      Why different size containers?
      I would strongly discourage that because it will affect fertigation frequency. You want to be able to water all the plants at the same time!

      If watering frequency is not an issue (meaning you can go to 4x daily during flower) then I'd go with 3 gallon final containers

    The only reason I say the two different sizes is because of the auto. The non auto I figured would need a bigger pot than a 3 gallon pot and I figured the auto was to small for a 5 gallon pot.

      In Coco it is really different. Pot size is not the limiting factor - fertigation frequency is! Smaller pots enable more frequent fertigation which results in the best growth. 3 gallon is ideal if you have auto-watering. If you hand-water you should go with 5-gallon because it is difficult to hand-water more than 2x per day.
      Autos - Photos doesn't matter for container size in coco. fertigation frequency is the determining factor

      Well if that's the case I'll do all my plants in 5 gallon pots

      So, again, How often do you expect to be able to water/fertigate?

    I will be able to water or treat my plants as much as they need daily.

      OK, are you going to be able to water them 4 times per day?
      Generally you would need an auto-drip system to accomplish that. If you are planning to hand-water you will be limited by lights and darkness.

      If you can auto-water 4x per day I recommend 3-gallon.
      If you can reliably hand-water 2x per day I rec 5-gallon
      If less than that Larger

      As I explain in my guide, smaller pots with higher frequency fertigation is best.

    I'm able to water manually anytime during the day. I will be using 5 gallon pots
