Pot size

[newzimbabwe]

Hey all! Quick potting question -

1st timer here - I have a 2ftx2ftx3ft grow tent and have two plants in separate 2.8Lt pots (about 4 weeks since their sprout). I noticed I can see the roots through the drain holes on the bottom..

Do I need bigger pots or will they be fine given the size of my tent?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Welcome to GR420!

10l are about the minimum id use in soil, do you have a bit more info, medium, lights etc?

Thanks! I have a Mars Hydro 300w using happy frog soil.

Afraid to use a bigger pot since my space isn’t large by any means.

led is the right choice but i think you will struggle in small pot sizes, it makes things more tricky

to you have access to airpots?

Do not have access to airpots.. wouldn’t 2 10L pots be too large for my tent? Also do not want to shock the plants again if I need to repot. Why would my current pits be more tricky? Sorry for so many questions; just want my plants to thrive! Thanks again!

Never say never lol u gotta try things out till you find your niche keep them moist but not sodden , water slowly with tepid water enough to wet all the dirt , I only have run off once a week
You could always fill up on pot noodles

A tip for growing in small pots - You might find yourself having to water every day. Sometimes more often depending on your temps. :)
