What size pot for 1.8x2x5

[invisiblecomplication]

Hi,

Due to changes I have to move indoors and to autoflower because of space.

I grew no till outside and ran a coots and mountain organics soil.

I've just mixed up anthor batch for my new indoor space and in that space I really want o only grow 1 at a time no till.

I have a 15g fabric pot but when i put it in the tent for a size comparision it pretty much takes up the whole space. Would leave me with no room to add a humidifier or anything floor mounted really if I needed too.

Would a 10g work with autos and no till as an all rounder? I could go with the 15g as I'm sure the humidity would adjust as the plant got bigger and there was more moisture from the pot etc.. but if too much then as i sadi earlier no way to fir anything there with that pot.

What do you guys think?

I will also run a smaller pot for reversing males and collecting pollen not at the same time though but i may just do that in a tote or something.

Rule of thumb is 1 gallon for each month of life. I grow in 3 gallon indoor usually, but I do supplement... 5 gallon should be plenty.

Thanks for the reply

5 g for a no till?

i'm not sure if I can maintain a healthy soil enviroment in something that small.

Are you growing no till?

I am not, but figured that going 160% of what the normal balanced soil with water only type grow would be close? I've run a couple autos in 10 gallon bags... monsters they were, but they were large strains to begin with.

Kind of close but you are adding amendments, mulch, cover crops etc... and always building the soil to increase the microbes etc...

Since I'm only growing 1 at a time I would kind of like then to be monsters if genetics calls for it. It all end up as GD anway for all medicinal.
