15Gallon pots?

[spenceje]

Has anyone ever used anything this large. fyi they're approx. 18in wide and 12in tall...... just curious if anyone has had experience with using a pot this large compared to a smaller one.... I know the plant will grow better with more room for the roots to grow out but my question is basically..... how much is too much??? The only problem I can see with it is that it will take much longer to dry out so my nutrients have less room for error...... Any thoughts experiences and/or opinions appreciated guys

Biggest I use is 3 gallon.
I have some pots that may go 3.5-4gl. but only use them for mothers.

Way I understand it,
5 gallon allows
full potentual growth.

?, I think you are a little off in your math 15 gallons would be larger than 12 by 18 inches, maybe you mean 5 gallons? but the more room for roots the beter.-GG
