hey, i have 10 master low seeds germinating now. i'm wondering if they all germ.......would a 15 gallon tub be enough to grow all the plants until the males are picked out?

I am sure it would work but if you have any issues with one plant it is easier to then have problems with all the others.

I like 7L minimum per plant in soil/soilless. Probably half that in coco.

My girls love to cuddle up.
I use multi-potting all the time because of my grow conditions.

there were about 10 in a 40 ltr tub here..
(only 2 males..which were cut out)
but I grew 10 JEM fems in a 20 ltr tub earlier on in the season and still got a decent yield.

As S_a_H says..watch out for beasties..

5 gal pots are ideal

We've been experimenting with planters this season...

they seem to work ok,, but yield is slightly reduced

10 lit/plant is fine.

The bigger the better...pretty much anything over 2 gallons will do fine. Iv never had the best results with multiple plants in a single pot, good for space saving but drainage was an issue for me last season. The big mass of soil tends to hold onto water for longer and with all the rain I had last year I found myself holding off on watering with my nutes because the thing would always look and feel saturated.
