"how many 4 gall pots dose it do?"
I'm not sure exactly. I start in 1 gallon pots and only the females get put into the 4 gal buckets, so i dont have an exact #.
BUT....
It makes about 75 quarts. 4 gallons is 16 quarts. 16 into 75 = 4.68. So that sounds about right. One batch should do 5, 4 gallon buckets, assuming you dont fill them ALL the way up.
In the future i plan on reducing the amount of HYponex soil and increasing the castings and adding my own organic compost.

A variety is the way to go if you can swing it IMO. I'm glad i have more than one flavor to smoke. Do you make your own clones too?here is whats coming up. the two hydro are rhino. well one has smaller leafs than the other, so i called my buddy and he thinks he gave me a head band. so if thats the case i have 1 rhino, 1 head band, 1 purple dragon and a dynamite. the last two are soil there the ones in the back. i will cut clones off of the bottoms right before i flower them. i will have a good verity to choose from.
I'm still trying to master my cloning techniques.
I made a bubble cloner. i have 3 from my mother plant, and one (different strain) from one of my flowering females. I'm using hydrogen peroxide and i dipped in powder.
I recently found this >
"A good place to start is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is essentially water with an oxygen atom attached to each molecule. Its chemical formula is H2O2. The second oxygen atom is ready to jump from the peroxide to other molecules and to oxidize them. It readily jumps onto mold spores and bacteria and destroys them by burning them up. Peroxide is sold in different strengths. Indoor garden shops sometimes sell 10% peroxide, but drug stores usually sell the 3% strength.
One part of 3% hydrogen peroxide can be combined with two parts water, or one part 10% solution is combined with nine parts water, to make a 1% solution. This solution should be used for cuttings for the first week. Nutrient and amendments can be added to this mix. It can also be used in the sprayer if you mist the plants. It is a sterilizing agent, so your cuttings are much less likely to suffer infection." - Ed R.

fiber glass LOL.
Yeah thats a lot a pot. Well done sir. It must smell like Amsterdam up in there!
I dont have a scale. How much it weighs is not as important as how long it lasts LOL.
You should be good for a while.
You might have some feminized seeds there too ya know.
Enjoy your smoke.
