Hi,
im new to this place but i have done a litle bit of looking around the forum and alot of people here know an awful lot about what their doing so i was wondering if anyone here could help a newbie :).

ive just finished my first grow indoors using 28cm diameter, 30cm tall circular pots. but i want to be able to put many more plants under my light so i was wondering, wha difference does the containers shape make if any?
i was thinking about having a 15cm x 15cm x 20cm square pot, fill it with soil, then take another square pot with the bottom cut away an placing this pot on top of the on that has.been filled with soil. repeating this until i have got about 10/11 liters of soil in them.

would this work? i am not really limited on height but i am limited on width because of the need to get plants in the optimum proximity of the light in using (600w HPS)

any comments would be greatly appreciated :)
