3 mother plants in a 6 gallon DWC?

Would there be enough room for the roots?

a plant in hydro only needs a rootball the size of a fist.

So basically it would work? =D

i vegged 4 plants in 6 gallon bins to 2 feet. they looked like they got stunted growth at the end iuno if it was rootbound or it was nutrient lock

I could easily use a 20 gallon instead, or something bigger you know. Does anyone know the best size to use for 3 plants?

20 galon is better. It could work on a 6 galon... put it this this way.. when using soil.. a 3 galon pot, 1 plant uses only like 1/2 of the pot to fil with roots.

in water.. there is the whole 6 galon it could use... but on the real maybe just use 4-5

I just need it to have enough room for the mothers, because Im going to be taking alot of clones ^_^

i would say go with a bigger rubbermaid no less than a 90 litre and let your roots hang freely i had a 10gallon rubbermaid and it was gonna for the first 3 weeks.

i got 4 girls in a 90 litre rubbermaid DWC with 2 x 12" airstones and a 240 gallon/perhour submerge pump.

and man my roots are 3 feet long and my plants are growing over a half inch a day now

just hit 12 inches today.

planted all on dec 20,2007
