    COCO COIR Is one gallon fabric pot is enough for sea of green method?

    As the title suggests, I am wondering if I can use one gallon pots which are sized 7 x 7 inch. I have six seedlings in cup. My grow space is in signature. What is the efficient way to utilize the space and the grow. I would have only planted three as it was my initial plan. I have three 5 Gal fabric pots. Since I decided to use sea of green method, I doubled up the grow but I am confused where and how to give them home.!

    Thanks in advance!

    I think a true sea of green would utilize 9-12 1 gallon containers in that space but there's nothing wrong with using 6, it just gives you a little more room and will take a little longer if you want to fill out the canopy. With 6 plants in a 30" x 30" I'd probably try to go with 2 gallon pots and just top & lst or scrog to fill the tent with tops but you may need some yoyos if you go sans net.

      FunkyButtLovin I was thinking the same. I have about 10 1 Gal pots. As per the space 9 pots would fit just completely. I was just unsure because firstly I had doubts over 1 Gal pots. Secondly I have only one light(PAR600) for canopy. Would that be enough for the entire space?

      This is my first grow. I am thinking of doing lst and top if 6 pots and only lst if 9. I have a net which came with the tent. It is made out of thread but it will cover the canopy. I am not sure how well they will sustain the branches though.

        That light looks to be a pretty good blurple and I think it will do ok if you can keep a nice, even canopy. Of course more light would be nice, especially come flowering time so if you can save up for an upgrade or supplemental lighting.

          Yeah I am worried of flowering period. I don't have extra lighting. I can't use HPS or other because I live in tropical hot climate. I have seen others' plants getting hermies. Let's see how it goes.!
