Hey guys, not sure if I'm posting in the right category, hopefully if not an admin can move this. I'm planning on starting my first grow in a month and needed advice on the container to hold my soil. I want atleast 3 gallons of soil because I have a grow box that is only 30 inches tall and only 15 inches wide and I'm planning on only growing one plant at a time. I'm hoping to train it well make this one plant develop many colas. This is excluding the seedlings in solo cups whose sex I wont be able to determine right away. They're bag seeds that were embedded within the nugs.
So my question is do I need a more or less vertical pot? Or can I use something like a Styrofoam box (mini cooler I will shorten down) that is wider? What direction do the roots grow in? Will they evenly disperse throughout the wider box or will they mostly travel downwards? I don't actually have my grow box yet so I won't know if the soil box will be wider than it is tall to hold the amount of soil I need. I just want to shave as much height off my pot so that the plant can grow as tall as possible, and I know an overly tall pot will limit this. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding anything.
