Pot size?

I recently made a grow box measuring about 1.5 ft wide by 2 feet high. I realized afterwards it might be too short but if I could make it work that'd be awesome. The question is what size pot should I use? Would 1 gallon be too small? And if so then how could i keep vertical growth under control in a 2 gallon pot so that it doesn't overgrow the box? Advice appreciated.

Find a plastic container that is low and long that will fit. Get a dark food container from a dollar store. Punch some holes for drainage and BOOM your Golden. Do a LST on the plant.
Strain, I would do a Indica or mostly Indica strain, short and compact.

Good luck on your grow.:weed:

Thanks man. Yea i've got a shit ton of 1 gallon pots, 2 gallons and 3 but I just didn't know if those pots would be best for the box.. Thought about getting some square ones too but didn't know what sizes they came in.

With that height, you got to keep as low as possible. Reg pot is not a good idea. hard to work with when LSTing in low profile case/box. Got to have that air flow and distance from the light. Heat Kills. Check your Dollar store for a container..:-P

If the three gallon pots are old just cut them in half if you don't want to go out. That should work.
