Pot size?

[BigN69]

Growing in a 4x4 tent. Going for a big yield. Looking for the best pot and saucer combo. Currently have 5 gallon bags in 14” saucers. It makes for a larger footprint. Do I really need 5 gallon pots? Second grow. What do you use???

Auto flower, feminized, or photo? Tall, medium, short, or dwarf strain?

I use a variety of pot sizes and types. Depends on the goals. Big plants need big pots, but big yields don’t need big pots per se. How much light in the 4x4 (watts/brand) and how tall of a tent/space? That and genetics will dictate your yield more than pot size. You can pull a pound off of one if you give it enough room and light to grow. That same amount of light/space can be given to multiple plants in smaller pots and theory will be it’ll give you the same yield.

If using soil as large as you can fit, 7gal

5gal for autos in coco, should be fine for photos too given only a 4x4.

I steer clear of fabric pots

They will out grow your 4 ft head height very quick in 5 gallon pots - The more roots the larger she will grow..

I have been growing in a 3 1/2 ft tent since we moved a few years ago and it has been a learning curve, however 3 gallon smart pots in coco work very well and Help to Keep The Plant Height under control. LST is used and some times supper cropping has to be implemented.

Yields for 4 plants are usually around a Pound.

The reality is usually height problems do not manifest until the end and by then, one is already gambling if they will run out of room...

4ft shrinks really quick once you add pot height and light distance in to the factor...I have 4 ft but some of that is joist space.

Good Luck
