How many 1.5L bags would be 100 gallons? Keep in mind, i have no idea what medium you use but if anyone knows the answer to this, help a brotha out.

378L / 1.5L bags = 252 bags

+1 on that, a few years ago I was growing in 3.75 gal pots and pulling 8-12 oz a plant and that was with MG soil. This summer I'm going with 20 gal grow bags filled with FFOF soil. My goals are the same as yours. Doing around 30 females and hoping for the best!

I'm gonna call BS. I've matured plants in all sizes of pots up to 15 gallon. Anything bigger is too heavy to handle(for me).
Six ounces of trimmed buds is the best I've done in 15 gallons.
Before you tell me I know nothing, look at my grow threads, linked below.
To the OP: do a search for a guy named Tom Hill. He has plenty of room and spaces his plants far apart, in 300 gallon smart pots. He's grown many 10 pound plants. Although I've never seen him mention it, I think his bigger plants have roots penetrating the ground under the smart pots.
A friend used to use very large "peat" pots ro get yields approaching a pound. I think they were 40 gallons.
Nukebiskit: I'd love to see pix of those girls. In my area, a plant capable of producing 3/4 lb in under 4 gallons would need to be watered three times a day, and anchored to keep the wind from knocking them over.
Not trying to be an ass, but I think some of these claims are stretching it, a bit.

it's cool, I'll try to find a pic of the green house with the plants, give me a day or two and i'll post a pic. oh yeah and they had to be watered twice a day in the green house. they were in those 5 gal nursery pots (3.75 us gal) the average is 4-6 zips a plant. it was only 1 time 1 plant that gave me 12 zips. hoping for more this time by using 4X my soil mass per plant

i'm not going to tell you that you know nothing and call bs on you because i am not an asshole. I can only speak from my own grow experience. I routinely pull 8 zips per plant or more off of plants grown in 5 gallon containers. We are also talking about Outdoors here not an indoor grow. You may just be growing a super low yielding strain. There is no need to invest in 15 gallons of soil per plant if you're only pulling 6 ounces off each plant.

i guess it depends somewhat on where you reside as well. Out here in CA we have the best sun any grower could ask for. If you know how to prune your plants properly, and you find the right feeding schedule, a pound per plant is on the low side of a yield here. These 50-300 gallon containers are getting guys up to 8 big ones per plant. It's quite normal to pull those numbers.
