What size 5 or 2 gallon

I have a 8 foot by 6 foot long with a thousand watt metal halide light I'm growing the famous White Widow what size buckets should I use have a total of 10 I purchased the five gallon but they seem too big thinking about the way the light spreads how much space do I really have under a Thousand Watt light 8 x 6 room mylar I'm considering growing in two gallon buckets but scared I'll less my yield

Same place as you get the 5- 2 usg, or better bleed some more and get the aero pots on amazon,

if this is your first grow at this site go 3 usg keep the 5usg for moms or later grows

you will need them
 
I germinated mine in a plastic baggie with a wet paper towel and then started them in plastic water bottles with the tops cut off and holes pinched in the bottom....transplanted to 2 gallon pots after a week and then to 5 gallon ones when they outgrew those.

All depends on how much vertical growing room you have to work with.

See I thought about that also but I didn't want to get carried away with transplanting too many times don't want to cause the flowers to go into shock only plan on visiting 3 weeks more at the most

I have orderd

Protekt silica, earth juice catalyst and coco wet wetting agent from america as we dont have those in europe

The conversation chart in tsp drives me crazy

If it says 1/2 tsp then I use half ml per liter and if it says 1 tsp I use 1 ml per liter lol

Standard is 1 teaspoon(tsp) = 5 ml (milliliters) ..this could be an expensive grow

why not potting mix and organics ..cheaper too?

Yes exactly, so its (almost) 1ml per LT maybe alittle more what I add then..!

I never tryed organics as I have heard that the yield is not as big as other mineral nutrients..

Am beind yield as well thats why I never tryed organics...
