You might as well just start them off in like a 5 gallon pot, coz the last thing you wanna have to do is keep repotting and repotting coz it's all just unneeded stress for the plant. Generally, when you transplant, the roots should be full in the pot [but not rootbound, obviously]

But theres nothing stopping you from just starting in a bigger pot. It wouldnt cause any trouble. And you wouldnt have to transplant. 1 gallon pots dont sound big enough anyway.

look this over.

1 gallon pots on day 80. (Harvest day)

My planting tip for 16oz cups.

edit the roots are fine thru the full grow.

Lots more root room

the plants look big enough in the first pic, but i almost garantee the buds would have been alot bigger if the root system was bigger. simple biology. And when you.re a personal grower, the yeild is important.

i only have a 2x2x67 of room. not sure if five gal buckets will fit in there with 6 plants.. i have alot of one gal buckets...

i've grown clones side by side in diff pots. they drink 1/2 gallon every other day. so with small pots lots of small waterings. with a big pot one water every oter day. thats the only diff.

nice plants..are they all grown in one gal containers?

 

[ganjman]

damn, well, 1 gal is bigger and better than what they're in now so yeah, i'd go for it. Are you doing a sort of SOG in there then concidering it's quite a small grow space?

you will be fine in the 6" pots just use some thing like this and give them water as soon as they want it or the root start to gro in search of water.

since this is my first grow im not looking for too much height with the plants, planning on flowering when there bout 12 inches just to see how they do. im keeping my good bean for later.. so if i fuck this up then i wont be pissed cuz there bagseed..

 

[RandyRocket]

well with the first grow bag seed can be a good choise but some strains get tall.

this is a 12/12 from seed no veg time. around day 75 at 52"

she was 42.8 grams dry weight.


this grower (joeyjoejoe) does this.

good to hear that randy.. alot of ppl dont like to use one gal but i could care less.. imma do what i feel is right..

Ive seen 1 gal pots in grows easily being stacked onto of each other with a layer of soil when the roots started popping out. thats what im planning on doing.
