Hi guys so I bought 4 25litre (6.6gallon) pots for 4 of my new seedlings. I was wondering if 25litre would be large enough for a plant to grow fairly large and have decent yields
Sorry work stuff, 6 gallons is not a lot of soil but it beats a 5 gallon bucket. Soil grows tend to run out of steam on long runs, say you veg for 8 weeks then flip & run for 10 weeks flower it takes a lot of juice to run that long.
One way to manage that could be the timing the last upcan.. Start in 20 ounce cups, get them totally root bound & upcan to 1 gallon. Run same again, get em root bound and at last upcan jump to 25 liter pot. Stay in the pot for 3 weeks then flip to flower.
The 6 gallons are good for photoperiod & the upcan method, if running autos you will need serious watering tech to pull off the tiny plant in huge container thing. (By starting in final pot)
