Grow room plant pot size dilemma

[alexphisher]

Hey all,

First grow here in at least 8 years. Was an avid outdoor grower and now that I have my own place decided to try my hand at a micro/small grow. Here are the room and grow specs:

Room: 1ft deep x 2ft wide x 2ft tall
Plant Count: 2
Strain: Indica dominant, very short node distance (~ .5-1in).
Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Nutrients: Fox farm trio / Cal Mag / Happy Frog top soil Fert
Lighting: ViparSpectra P1500 with 2 daylight 150w cfls that may be added during flowering

Currently I am ~1.5 weeks into veg and the plants are 4 inches tall and in smaller 4 inch planter cups. Now I've read that at a 2 week veg, flowering could require up to 2 gallon pots to be safe but after search around amazon for hours I can't find circular, square or rectangular pots that will get me beyond 1.2 gallons. The pots need to be low profile under 6 or 7 inches as even with LST I'm foreseeing the plants getting to be at least 7 inches (Combined 14 inches leaving 8 inches below the light). I thought about doing two 20 inch rectangular pots one in front of the other and LST across the length of the pot and leaving the colas in a straight line but the only ones that fit would be about 1 or so gallons. Anyone have any good suggestions for a pot / know if I need the full 2 gallons if I start flowering at 2 weeks? I don't want root lock to wreck my grow

Thanks y'all
Alex

I've got some pretty small fabric pots, not sure exactly the size, but I bet those would work great for you-they are less than 1 gal I think. Fabric pots might be exactly what you need due to the air pruning.

Yea that's a really great point, and the fabric gives me some room to play with on height as well. Are they durable enough to do some lst on the perimeter of it. I can always use the dishes below to puncture holes in or something if not.

Fabric pots.
Fill as high as you want and roll the top down.

Oh yeah, you can poke holes directly under the "rim" of them for ties, works great. I wash them in between grows in a bucket with a non chlorine bleach.

Perfect, thanks everyone. Fabric pots it is. I'll be opening up an indoor grow log here shortly so stay tuned! Happy Growing
