Is a 1 Gallon pot o.k.?

I let a plant finish in a 1g once. It had one huge cola. Probably 1oz-1.5 oz. I get a lot more out of 3 or 5 gallon pots. Closer to 4 oz a plant.

2oz would be very nice per plant.My set up is inside a 10x20 foot greenhouse(shelter logic)Inside the GH I placed a 5x10 frame made with 2x4 and leveled out 2 bags of sunshine mix,now I have my 1 gallon pots on top of this bed of soil,so the roots have a place to grow into.So far these 9lb & Headband are very green and growing like weeds.2oz per plant would yield 9lbs of bud

We are lucky in California and soon you will be there in your state.Nothing is nicer than working in a greenhouse,I make rain in the tent when it is 90 degrees mid day the crop is just reaching for the sky.

In New England it's not that great my friend I wish it was!!!! I'll keep dreaming.....

I know this is an older thread, I just feel like posting on this one. If you have a typical indica(50-55 day flower),and are planting a juvenial clone I would for surely use the 1 gallon pot. The amount of time the roots are searching for a restriction, the worse the yield will be. The top side of the plant won't developed until the roots reach a restriction to signal vegetative growth. And remember that a 1 gallon trade pot is under a half gallon. A. 3gallon trade pot is only 2 1/4gallons+- I always vege indica's in large cups until I see a saficient amount of to growth then switch to a 2 gallon pot(1.5gallons)until flower where they get trans/pl. To #4 pots(2.5ish gallons). Plants also grow wider if the pot is wider. A plant in a #2 will be as tall as a #4 just less width. I'm going to try 2gallon squat pots on my next indica grow, 10.5" wide x 5.5" deep. May try it on some Mackinac trail mix kush as well

Whoops outdoor cropping its a whole mother ball game!!!!

I'm attempting an outdoor grow with 3gal smart pots. I'm legal but I'm still discrete about my grow. This is for personal use though. Rotating every 2 weeks after a month of veg on Sour D. Friend gave me Critical Mass. This may be more suitable with a shorter flowering season. I attached a pic of a Sour D 5 weeks into flowering. First time growing outdoors.
