Basic Grow Question

3rd time , with 2 successful attempts. today the seed germinated and is under 2 cfl with 1600 lumens each, which i will later on add 2 more or even more not sure yet. What size pot should i grow in? its in a solo cup right now. im not looking to get a huge plant ill be very happy with a 1/2 ounce. maybe 5 gallon? any advice would be appreciated

general rule is one gallon for every 12 inches.

Keep the lights VERY close CFLs put off very little heat. Read up on LST training, keep her short and bushy. Don't set such low goals...go for all you can get. I have seen growerz pull very nice harvests with cfl. Mean Green is correct 1 foot per gallon of soil. So it depends on how much height you have to work with. AND with cfl, led, hid or any kind of indoor lighting, the further the plant from the light, the more STREEEETCH you will have, the further the nodes will be separated and the lower your final yield will be.

Good Luck and Great Growz
