use 5gallons + container and you will be even solder. 7 gallons indoor seems like optimal for small op. I find 5 gals is not quite enough ... 3 gallons will never yield close to optimal resultsMy first post in this topic, so be gentle please.
I run a 3x3 flower tent with two 180w LEDs. It has four plants at a time, in 3 gal pots with Bathtub Super Soil. I try to stagger the flowering so that I'm harvesting two plants every 4-6 weeks. I just switched to this program over the winter, so I'm still ironing out the kinks.
This is Greenhouse's The Doctor. I think I got it as a freebee. It took 10.5 weeks and started to run short on calcium after week 8, but I still ended up with good results. My next batch of soil will have a bit more cal and K.
The nugs are dense, so I'm estimating that I got 60-100 grams. I don't really care too much about yield, but that does imply that I could get 240-400 grams a cycle if I filled my tent with four of these at once. Not bad for only 360 watts of LED.

I'm totally sold on Super Soil. I will never return to coco. Sorry if the pixs are a little blurry. Next time, I will use my tripod.
I have one plant going in a 5 gal right now (Tahoe OG) and have used them in the past. The problem is that the plants tend to get too tall for the tent. For my setup, using a 3 gal with a long veg time (and aggressively topping anything too stretchy) seems to work. Plus, I use a 2x2 tent for veg and it can accommodate four three gal pots with no room to spare.use 5gallons + container and you will be even solder
