Deeper the roots taller the plant?
Gorrila_Smoke11started grow question 2 years ago
Will the size of the pot ultimately reflect the size of the plant ? I’ve always used 5 gallon pots and get about the same size of plant . I’m tempted to get a bigger pot to test the waters . I’m trying to have a better understanding if u look at plants outside grown vs inside .

Almost always the bigger the root mass the bigger the plant, hands down. Very little can set this logic off.
If you use a bigger pot like 10-20gal you will notice the plants will get bigger if you let them. They will also eat more and need more watering when they get bigger. Plan ahead and happy growing!
Best of Luck

@Gorrila_Smoke11 the answer is Yes and No
Yes if the genetics allow for larger growth then a bigger pot will encourage the plant to grow bigger but if its say an auto then large pots are not really needed and are generally just wasting space and nutrients etc.

I use 10 gallons or even 50 liters pots, small plant is more of an unpleasant surprise now for me ...
Just pots don't need to be very deep, more wide..
But big plants brings big problems, height, light power, humidity control, all could need investment...
All the Best !

It’s party veg time.. if you’re running autos or photos is a huge factor..
Looks like you run photos.. if you’re vegging more than 5-6 weeks your pot size will hugely effect the size of the plant.
Give 10 gallon a whirl.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Willing doming this stunted plant help it recover from its early trauma? I have attached photos of progress from the past 2 weeksThis journal has become an experiment in the resilience of this plant. When it was 2 days old I water and washed the germinated seed out of the peat pod, and have been trying to allow it to recover at its own pace which it has been, but is very stunted and behind it sisters.

Hulkberry turning dry and leafs are bending upHulk berry auto flower leaves turning dry.
Hey, my Hulkberry is not doing so good, I assume this is due to overfeeding it with fertilizer. Right now I just flushed the plant with 6.1 pH water and I'm waiting to see if it helps. What more can I do?

Runoff pH is high, plant is not vibrant green and there's a leaf deformity.Guys, if anyone knows, my coco runoff pH is coming out at a constant 6.8, should I pay attention to it? I feel like it should be lower and that's why the color is not as vibrant as it should be. Also, one of the leaves has a deformity, maybe it's genetic maybe it's my doing?
