So Im revving up to do my biggest grow yet. Im not worried about total grow time so vegging for awhile longer isnt really a concern to me other then quality and overall yield (which of course many different factors come into play).
Im having a hell of a time deciding what size containers to use. I could go with 12 x 3 gallon pots or 6 x 5 gallon buckets. Im not sure if I could fit 9 - 5 gallons in that space with the light Im using, I kind of doubt it.
What do you guys think?? I make up my mind, then I read something else that makes me want to go the other direction. I was pretty set on 12 x 3 gal's, but now Im reading that many are pulling 5-6 OZ's per plant in 5 gal?? 5 OZ @ 6 - 5 gallon buckets is 30 OZ whereas hoping for 2 OZ per plant in 3 gallon buckets is only around 24 OZ. Plus with a bigger bucket I feel like I can ammend the soil up and wont have to micro manage them as much.
Then theres the wild card of whether or not I could fit 9 - 5 gallons in the tent.... lol... which would take the cake but I kinda doubt the light could cover that much canopy ????
Any suggestions??
Heres some pics of the rig ... I havent got a scrubber yet but thats coming up soon...
