is it true when they say 1gallon container for every foot you want your plant to grow?
tha person who 1st replied's sn is ludacrisno its not ludacris at all its quite simple actually. a plants root system grows to be twice the size of your plant(the part sticking out of the dirt)... it will get stunted if left in too small of a pot since the roots will outgrow the pot and not be able to grow any further.... simple equations my friend
So your saying that my 15gal pots would be sufficient to grow a 15foot plant? I know it can support a massive 8foot plant but can it really do a 15foot plant?

thats ludacris
25 foot? Really? I dont doubt it but these plants in the pics below are almost 8 foot tall and they have an enormous amount of roots and im not sure there would be much more room for new roots. I was starting to wonder whether these plants have a root problem and they have had their growth stunted coz they were getting too big for the room.a 15 gallon pot is sufficient for a 25 foot plant.
Root growth is mostly built up during vegging time and when you switch to flowering the plant the main growth starts to focus on forming flowers instead of producing more roots than when in vegg.
if you are concerned with the roots outgrowing those pots then transplanting is obviously going to be a problem so use the double potting method.25 foot? Really?

Urban Legend probably.man this site gives the worst advice !!!
I use two gallon pots, grow all my plants at least 4 feet, usually like to stretch em out to 6 + feet, in a two gallon pot, and I have NEVER< EVER came anywhere near rootbound, or had any sort of issue at all.
I have 3 footers in a 4x6 inch pots, not even close to being rootbound.
Where do you get this retarded info ?????
