Try to find ones that have a insert at the bottom. They will sit better when filled...a lot of gardeners use them as well. Only stupid weed growers go out and spend hella money on grow equipment....YouTube is your best friend

I currently got some BKR's in all 1 gal regular pots. But for experiment I also have the same BKR started at same time under exact same light, room, temp, all conditions etc..in FIVE gallon fabric pot and it has grown only sligthly larger than the ones in 1 gal pots. Will try to post side by side pic later.

Will be interesting to see, especially how they progress in the next couple of weeks. How old are they?

30-35 DAYS IN. First in long time grow in soil; been 20+ years. Always grow aero (see pics) All BKR's (Berry Kush Ryders) in soil pots. You can see plant in 3 gallon fabric pot definitely bigger and started flowering much sooner than others in 1 gallons.

See I got hydro farms 9x9 ten in deep square pots there 2.5s .. Money isn't a issue as to why I'm goin with smaller ones but I've seen a lot of 2.5 to 3 gal grows with massive yeilds I've seen 5 plus gallon massive yeilds but I also seen a guy on YouTube have some in a 5
Gal containers and none of them was wider then the container ., I got 3 4 and 5 gallon round plastic and I got 7 gallon smarties I thought bout throwing one of the 7 in here and a 4 along with the rest 2.5s and see what happens ...I feel if u supply what they need good light and care u can achieve good results .. Now I may change my mind after this grow and use 3 gal smarts or something ..

Imma do it . Starting autos next week gonna run 8 2.5s one 4 and a 7 , see what happens , worst thing would be outgrow my tent in the 7 and have to move outside to finish . But part of dialing it in is finding what works . So I'm good with runnin trials . I would love to be able to fill 7 gal smarts with big roots and downsize my amount of plants but if u only get a few grams more per plant from 2.5 to 7 then makes no sense to use the extra water dirt and nutes but everyone sees things diffrent. I'm also gonna do a run with mh and hps and led , then next run be mh hps and that last two weeks run straight mh in the two lights along with the full cycle leds .. May even just run two mh then hps for flower and back to mh to finish .. It's gonna be a interesting year for sure . I'm not a professional but I'm
Not a noob either , Most people r stuck in there ways no u can't do that or it Dnt work or wount work , can't do it
