I've never used bigger than 5 myself, but I remember reading an old thread of bog's back on OG, and he used pots larger than 10 gallons and put one plant under a 1000w light...I forget how many pounds that plant yielded...

I veg in 4inch pots, 2 gal pots, then finally after they're nice, and big transplant into 15 gallon. Then the important part is vegging\training at least another couple weeks so they fill the 15 gal. pot. I ran a room with plants in 5 gallon home depot buckets alongside ones in 15. I made sure to have a a few strains in both sizes. The plants in the 15 gallon pots yield a lot more and seem to be a higher quality. Although I wouldn't go into more than 5 gallon unless you plan on making sure they're bushes. Luckily I have the space.

Google " Smart Pots " they're great for growing the bushes & trees of life - aka - our girl Mary. They have them in sizes from 1 gallon all the way up to 200 plus.

^^^ No, that would be called a hole. The whole point in having " pots " is that a person can move their plant(s) if needed.

If you're familiar with the Air Pot product from Scotland - here
You might want to consider buying the outside material here and do your own thing and probably save quite a bit of money.
This product is called "Ben's Potato Tower" and you can probably find other retailers online around the country.

Like you're going to move a 30 gallon pot filled with dirt, and a big ass plant.
I have my plants in 10 and 15 gallon nursery and smart pots. Water only
What cha wanna know?
They weigh a lot hundred pounds each.... easy. i still drag them out, spray, water and pray.

Edit Oh and forgot to mention, doing side by side 10 gallon nursery pot vs 10 gallon smart pots with identical las Vegas Purple Kush clones. They're about 3 months old I think,.

I'm vegging in 15 gal. for a few weeks under Halide and got some bushes but damn Smiley! I can't wait 3 months but what's the yield off those 1\4-1\2p each??

Nah.... some ole Coot said I didn't have tooo
I'm not as healthy as your yet but it'll get there after a few cycles.
Thanks man
Supercropping, topping makes the stem keep growing but the plant looks the same size. So it still takes up 28x28 inches but all the stems are woody(r) and stronger. And don't get me started about the 60 budsites per shrub
If any of those strains vegged 3 months without training they'd be touching the ceiling before the flip. Well.... not quite but you get my meaning.
The height from the top of the soil to the top is 30-35 inches and under 24 inches wide. Except for my da-black which is a lot bigger
I honestly love having big plants. I used to run 16 1 gallons, then 16 2 gallons then 8 5 gallon......
10 10 gallon seems to be my favorite. When the plants are this huge, you can break half the plant in an accident and not even miss it. I could take a hundred thousand clones.
I think it will be 8 10 gallon with individual scrog screens will be the future.

Oh yeah, last watering, the 10 took 40+ gallons. Tomorrow I have on hand 60 gallons for the next watering.

I don't have the luxury of taking plants to the point that you do in the 'veg' cycle. I'm more than a little impressed.
Very impressed actually.

I'm using 1 2 3 and 5 gallon pots. I have two of my Blue Moon Rocks growing in,I'm thinking 10 gallon pots. These beasts demand more root space or all growth slows to a halt.
It's clear that some strains just perform a lot better with more root space.
As for me and the moving them around thing........I do that as little as possible.

Damn,your garden got tuned the f*ck up Smiley!

DO NOT use rubermaid totes. They are not food safe or BPA free. They will leach various chemicals into your soil.
