Anywhere from 3 to 5. 4 is what fastbuds recommends. I run 3. It allows me to feed more often giving them a daily supply of fresh nutes. With 4 or 5 gallons you could expect larger girls, but expect longer grow times. I run 3g and yielded 24oz from 5 plants under 540w of light. Largest plant was my Mango smile at 7oz before trim but is dry. So maybe 6-6.5oz You can yield well in 3g I've seen 13oz. MrsFunk420 on here has a diary of a Strawberry Banana grow that yielded over 13oz. So it's possible. Expect to water more frequently on smaller pots, and less often in bigger ones. Pros and cons to each, it's just your life style and which will work better for you. I wish you the best of luck. .please consider selecting me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate your support growmie 🙏

30 liters is minimum and better start straight in soil, no presoaking , no other possible stress orslow down for her. If its single plant, maybe i would go with 40 liters pot. In my current grow all 3 different strains ocupied fully pot of 30 litets on week 6-7, so bigger pot would be utilized by them better.

A 3-gallon container can be suitable for growing autoflowers under a 150-watt lamp, but it depends on various factors, including the specific strain, growth medium, and desired final size of your plants. Here are some considerations: Autoflowering Characteristics: Autoflowers generally have a shorter life cycle and smaller size compared to photoperiod plants. They are often well-suited for smaller containers. Root Space: Consider the root space needed for your specific strain. Autoflowers typically have smaller root systems compared to photoperiod plants, so they may not require as much space. Growth Medium: The choice of growing medium (soil, coco coir, hydroponics) can influence the container size. Some mediums retain more moisture than others, affecting watering frequency. Plant Size Goals: If you aim for smaller plants, a 3-gallon container should suffice. If you want larger plants, you might consider slightly larger containers.

3 gallon will work for soil. I loje 4 gallon fabric when I grow in coco. Autos tend to do poorly on soil.
