pros = look nice out doors, fire/heat proof cons, = Porous, easy to break, heavy as fuck, hold onto salts and other leftovers, not easy for transplanting, scratch Mylar easy. difficult to clean/sanitize.

They suck the moisture out of the soil and are a very poor choice for growing cannabis.

Pros easy to get nice and weighty to stand up cons can be pricey in bigger sizes and a pain in the rear on some transplants.

4 or 5 Plants - Setup: 80×80×180 Pods: 11L (25×25×26)
As you can see in the picture, we have 5 plants right now. We thought about removing one, and use scrog for the other. Do you have a recommendation for this case? Other ideas are also very welcome :) ✌️

Tiny tent = Tiny totes
Is it true if you keep your roots small the plant will stay small? I have 2 small totes that hold 6 quarts each in a 18"×18"×48" tent. Each will have one plant. Size 14"×8"×5". Can't fit anything bigger in this small tent. Don't want to go bigger. No space. Is it ok?

Do I need to poke holes in this type of pot for seedlings?
Hi, I was wondering if I could set my seed inside this pot without making holes in its bottom and sides since it was sold like this. It is made of a cardboard-like paste and I don't know if it could help with drainage after watering my seedling during the first weeks.

Hydroponics and tent height issues
I'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?

Not enough room ?
Do you guys think it would be better too take my photos and separate them from the autos because the tent is getting pretty crowded my theory was that I would grow these autos out while vegging the photos and then flip the photos when the autos are done
