Does Plant Pot Size Matter?

Basically experimenting with a pc grow, only growing 1 plant, most probably going to grow a low-Ryder with some LST... I was thinking about getting a rectangular pot to pretty much fill the base of the pc but only have it about 4-5 inches high?

Will this affect the grow?
Whats a good size/shape etc?

Newb! Thanks! :leaf:

yes u want a deep slim pot. hydro is good because u can get away w/o having deep roots/pots. try looking at the "world of hempy" grow that should give you a little insight on passive hydro

Deeper roots are better than shallow roots, but essentially you should be ok with a lowryder if you can have 5 inches of soil depth, but plenty of width. It'll dry out quite fast though I reckon..so you'll need to keep on top of that.

Pot size does matter but in your case it doesn't since it such a small grow anyway.4-5 inches should be sufficient enough for ruderalis

Okay so you think a shallow (4-5) inch pot will be sufficient enough cos it's obvious a tiny grow? Thanks

Yep. But don't over water to compensate of course. Little and often is not a good watering pattern. Weed likes to have slightly dry feet in between waterings.
