Is a 1.6 Gallon pot Ok?

First time grower here. If I was going straight from a germination transplant to a 1.6 Gallon pot all the way until flowering how much would I yield? Strain could be Lowryder or GMO Cookies. I am doing coco and it will be outside on my deck.

Too many variables to guess anything. Just ease up off the gas & take it step step by step. First time growing and choosing coco? Good luck.

I would suggest a 3 gallon pot. Coco is a fantastic medium but like any first time grow it will require patience and research.

These plants were in 1 gallon pots and got just over 6 ounces from the one I weighed. It wasn't an ideal situation but it wasn't planned either.

Outside during summer you'll probably need to fertigate at least 4 times per day to keep it from drying out. If you can multi-feed it will work, otherwise go with a bigger pot.

I got that information from a thread on here.
It's something to work off of I'm not saying these numbers are 100% correct. Obviously there are many factors involved. Here take a look if interested.

Pot Size To Yield Ratio

As we all know, yield depends on a myriad of things - soil, sun, water, genetics, etc. All that taken into consideration, I have noticed some average yields from different container sizes when given good conditions. 1 gallon container = half ounce yield 2 gallon container = 1 ounce yield 5...

If you are referring to the original post, those numbers are not even close to accurate.

Last summer I ran two plants in 100% coco. Starter pots -> 3 gallon -> 5 gallon -> 15 gallon.

While not ideal they were only fertigated once a day. A few times they were fed twice but not often. The last transplant into 15 gallons was an after thought already well into flower as I was gone and only able to feed them once a week and was hoping they'd stay wet as long as possible.
