Go for 5 galons regardless, its a short strain so more root space will only mean more yield and not much more height.

If you are in organic soil then I would do 5 gal but if you are feeding nutes then 3 will be enough. I personally use 5 in organic soil and have never had an issue.

Non-oscillating fan in small grow box: good enough for now?Hey growers! 🌱 I’ve got a 9-speed USB fan (quite strong but not oscillating). For now I point it at the wall so the airflow bounces back on the seedling. Any better way to position it in the box until I upgrade to an oscillating fan later? 🤔
