Is 3 gallon pots good enough??

Its fine if you're fine with it. You won't yield as much but I'm sure the plant will be happy. My first harvest was from a 2-gallon pot and I only yielded around 24 grams of some fine Goo.
 
I guess it depends on how much room ya got. I run 600 watts on ten girls in 2.5 gallon pots and my yield stays at 5-7 oz's per grow. I only have a closet though.

If you get pots bigger than 2.5 you will have a better yeild....How long do you veg for?How much space are you working with?

Yeah, I know but I like growing 4-5 strains per grow, for personal use so its all good.:bigjoint:
I veg. to the 6th node and flip usually keep em under 30 inches.
 
the rule of thumb that i have read is 1 gallon per 1' of plant.. if you are not going to let the plant grow beyond 3', a 3 gal pot is perfect..

depends on a couple things like how many you want to do and what size area you're working with. I was having a hard time deciding between 1.5 gal and 3 gal square containers. my area's pretty small so I figured I'd just try to get as many in as a possible so I went with the 1.5 gal containers but if you have the room and lighting to grow them bigger, I'd go with the 3's or they make round squatty 5 gallons that work well too.

hope this helps

I'd highly recommend 5 gallons if you have the room. With 5 gallons I had a 2 ounce plant without co2. Is that even good? Well it was some very good Kush so to me it was great!
 
3 gallon is good my plants are 4 feet tall already in the 3 gallon pots, dont worry about them gettng root bound because ive seen plants grow nice and big in 1 gallon pots
