[iGrow420710]

Hi there,

I will be using a 4x4 (1.2m x 1.2m) tent looking to do 4 plants at a time...

I will start in a party cup.. but dont know what size to move up tooo..

preferably in litres...

A simple answer would be around 15-20L - however, a lot depends on what sort of plants you are intending on growing & how you are planning to train them....

I use to use 28L pots, but now have gone to 15.2L. I think I can get the same results with the smaller ones. I hope so any way. JMO I'm using fabric pots.

Yup, spot on. I typically use 5g-7g fabric for photos, as these can run 120 days of grow time.
Recently picked up some airpots, think there 12-15L for the next run of auto i plan on growing.70-90 day planned grow.

Looking to grow in soil. Photoperiod for now.

I was thinking;
Party Cup
maybe a 5 litre
end in a 20litre/25lite smart pot

dont really want to transplant more than twice.

I do 1 in a builders bucket , probably about 45-50 l . If I was to do four plants ad be using no more than 15 l

Everyone's different mate, depends on your grow media and how many times each day you water/feed.

I grow 3' x 3' or bigger plants in 8 litres of coco and feed 5 times each day. I would never go back to bigger pots but everyone to their own.

I veg for a long time and take 8 week strains 10 or more weeks until I chop.

Hiya Hotshot, I tried to do a side by side with an old 16l fabric and an 8l fabric. All getting fed the same around 4 litres when in full flower split into 5 feeds each day (big plants). Started reading run off and the bigger pot was constantly reading higher than the 8l pots (higher than what was going in). I couldn't just leave it so cheated and give the 16l a few weaker feeds to run off and a mid grow flush or 2 which made it hard work. I on;y ever fed max 1.2ec with zero background, mostly 1.1. Just had my best grow to date in 8l.

I think the 16 litre pots respond better to 2 bigger feeds to run off rather than the multiple smaller feeds.

Your the reason I am trying these 15.2L Fabric pots. I was reading one of your post about them. I grow in Soil, so I don't have all the ph and ec thing, makes feeding much easer. I know you only need 1.1 gal per month of growth, so I was think why use a 28L, when most are done before 4 months time.
