Pot size

I plan to use these 5L fabric pots for this grow in my 80x80x180 tent till the end. Do you think this makes sense? It should stay more or less a legal grow in Germany (max. 120g dry yield, as we´re two). Alternatively, I would also have 5x 20L fabric pots.

If you have a 120g limit, 3 sq ft can do that.. less than half of that tent. Might need a 100-150w light depending on the efficacy of it. Maybe 4 plants in a mini sea of green that you do 12/12 for 7-14 days. A 5L is quite small, so you'd want to fill with as many tiny plants as it takes. if the light has a rectangular footprint due to shape, maybe 2 rows of 3 plants. Leaves lots of room for a circulation fan or exhaust fant to fit into tent if not using the full 0.64m^2 space. With more plants probably wouldn't need any vege time at all, and just 12/12 from seed. Trial and error with that stuff. With a 20L, 1 plant might be enough with 4-5 weeks of vege if you get a decent growth rate from seed. Just with basic plant maintenance and filling an intended size of grow area you should be able to do 50grams/sq ft.
