I am growing in a 2'x4'x5'10" grow tent. What is generally the best size smart pot for this size tent? I have completed two grow operations with 3 plants, each in 5-gallon soft pots.
I am considering trying to grow five plants in 3-gallon smart pots.
I've read that 3 and 5 are the most common size used.
When I did my first grow I was thrilled that I was growing plants and forgot that the sky...was... the limit-in a tent! They suffered nutrient burn because they grew too close to the lights, and went hermie. The second grow was done with low-stress training and the distance from the lights was maintained. I was thinking I could use the 3-gallon smart pots with low-stress training and get a similar or better yield from five plants while having better control over the height of the plants.
So, what are your thoughts-3-gallon smart pots or 5-gallon smart pots for a 2'x4'x5'10" grow tent?
