Everything sounds good to me, I would personally trans into a 5 gal. I did the 3 gal and wasn’t impressed with the yield. Just go easy on the trio when you use. At least half strength and you’ll avoid the burn.

A 3 gallon can produce just as much as a 5 gallon if you up-pot correctly. 14 days / solo, 21 days / 1 gallon, then into their final 3 gallon pots they go, then let them settle in for 14 days. then flip them, and a single top at the 5th node should always get you 6 zips and a few zips of very nice trim, on a 49 day veg!

Hi guys, I've been at it a while and have taken so much great info that I thought it time I joined to learn more and to help others where I can. ^^ in my experience Piratebug is quite right. I've tried all sorts of sizes and types and have gone back to pb28s! Not saying they're the best or suit everyone but they work for me. One thing worth mentioning, if you go with a larger size be careful with h2o until a good rootball develops. It sits at the bottom where the roots don't reach, by the time you see signs too late, your plants overwatered and dying! You'll have no yield issues with a 3 gal if its done right

Steep learning curve m8, even moving outdoor to in or vis a versa. But hella rewarding when that first harvest comes in and its really enjoyable even if gardening isn't your thing. Sounds like you'll do well with that set up, but don't get discouraged even if something unforeseen happens and you get a poor harvest that first one. The next one will be great. I nearly gave up after taking 6zip off 12 sour diesel my first time inside! All my own fault and prolly not the best strain for my first one, but you'll be growing the best weed you've ever smoked and wondering why you didn't do it sooner after the second or third run. But that was me ages ago, pre-internet, and I misunderstood some fundamentals.

Yours is going to do well by the sound of it.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying a 3 gal pot can produce just as much as a 5 gal?
