I would like to try growing more plants this time hen b4. I wanted to use those folger coffee plastic containers. I didnt know if these would be big enough. It is the biggest size. They have to be almost a gallon. Keep in mind Im not trying to grow monsters. just a couple avg. size plants w CFL's. Any opinions would be apreciated!!!!

Yes, I think it would be fine. I am partial to containers that do not have lips that fold over the top as containers like that are hell when, and if, you need to transplant as the soil and plant are devilishly hard to get out of the container. Containers that will allow the soil and plant to easily slide out works a lot better.

I would also comment that if you want to grow more plants, you will need a lot more light than you would with just one plant. Keep that in mind when you consider enlarging you grow.
