25 gallon cloth pots....should I grow two medium sized strains per pot?

[Cap'nCrud]

Hey All,
This is my second organic indoor grow. First one the pots were too small and the dirt not hot enough. I have fixed that for the second grow. LOL. Seriously, I have 4-25 gallon cloth pots filled with soil so hot if you put a severed finger in it, I believe it would grow an arm!
After getting the pots in the tent.... which was an ordeal for an old fat man.... I started thinking maybe..... Overkill? Definitely. So, I thought I would maybe plant two Skylar Whites per pot and then SCROG them. Room is not an issue.
Any experienced opinions? I thank you in advance, and good karma to all of you.

Hmmmm... 25 gal. pots for an indoor tent grow... I can see a few things wrong with the idea, but keep in mind, I am not an expert at soil growing. Others will chime in hopefully, with more expertise.
Two beans in a single pot can be done, but can go pretty wrong on you, if the two seeds are radically different phenos. What starves one burns the other...
25 gallons is just not necessary, for anything you could grow in a tent. 5 gallons would get you max size and yield out of any plant, indoors. (If you have a 20x40ft tent, and are rocking 20KW, well I stand corrected
Too much opportunity for root rot, mold, algae, fungus gnats, and God knows what else. With that much soil, it would be a very, very long time between waterings, and watering is what draws oxygen into the soil.
Long story short, you might wanna rethink the giant containers, and go with one plant per 5 gal bag...
Hope this helps!
Regards, Kyle

Thanks for that. Insight. My friend. And it makes a lot of sense to me, I think I may break down my big pots into smaller ones.. Thanks

My friend, I still see the wisdom in what you said..... But I offer this video of a guy growing in a 20 gallon cloth pot, just 5 gallons less than mine.... What do you think?....

Lol. He won't be finishing that plant in that tent. "So like, I'm gonna flip it soon. It's gonna be a monster, dude..". Cool Youtube stunt, I suppose, but I don't see the point, otherwise. That's a photo grow, also... Auto's are different animals. Suprisingly so, as I am discovering.
Good luck with your adventures!

I'm running a San Tri Bajo auto from Barney's in a 15gal fabric pot against a 5gal I will upload pics for you after work or can check out my grows in new journals, quick one auto in Royal queen section and San Tri Bajo in new growers section.

Since that is a photo Im guessing...? I would ideally make a top dressing for flower now and get a few items together for a tea or two through flower.

Nope mines an auto fem.
