15-gallon pot for an indoor auto? How tall is your tent? What are you expecting from your ANL?

[Bluey]

LOL.

13gal plastics have been my go to here for photos indoors in coco.

When I swapped a few to 7.6gal pots I needed to do more work managing the grow and I suspect a little less buffer so more fertigation required. I do think that can be an issue with large plants producing a 1lb+ of bud.

If we can forget that classic vs. Magnum comment, are weed roots better growing deep or wide? Seriously. That 13-gallon doesn't look much wider than my 5.

[Bluey]

Weed roots (hemp) are naturally deep growers but not certain on best shape of pot.

My 13gal pots are actually 13.75 US gal and 20" wide at the top and 16" deep. The roots fill the pot completely and grow out the bottom before I have finished vegging on all grows so far with photos.

Last perpetual grow I used a mix of those and 7.6 gal pots.

I would start another one ( feminized photo ) to grow with it. When the Auto gets done, 60-90 days the photo will have vegged long enough to fill that tent.
