Hi,
I want to add a few Indicas to my tent and I am wondering if either of these will make a notable difference in my grow?

Thanks for the help,
cs

i tend to look at the size of the plant more then the size of the pot. I use a simple rule, if the pot is 20cm wide then your plants is gunna get to roughly twice the size of the pot eg. 40cm

so dont be putting huge buckets in if they only just fit as the plants will grow into each other and cause more light blockage.

Hope i understood your question correctly and helped out abit.

The size of the bucket correlates with the size of the plant you want to grow...if you only plan on vegging your plant to 1-1.5' a 3gallon pot would work fine...if you are planning on vegging them until they are 1.5'-2' then go for a 5 gallon as you'll need the additional space :)

I would say so. To an extent. Just started running smart pots.
Have 2 Hindu Kush's in 3 gals, and they are my best looking yet.

If you veg for too long, then the 3 might become an issue.

General rule. 1 gal per month of growth. But i sometimes go over that, without any ill effects
