I'm trying out a 12/12 hour grow in a small 60x60 cm grow box. I want to fit a maximum of 6 cloned plants in there. What pot size in liters is suitable for this?

For your 12/12 hour grow with six clones in a 60x60 cm box, I recommend pots with a volume of 5 to 7.5 liters. The 5-liter pots are the most suitable. With six plants in such a small space, 5 liters is big enough for nutrient supply and small enough to fit all the plants and avoid overcrowding the grow box. If you use 7.5-liter pots, it will already be very tight. Optimal range: 5 liters to 7.5 liters per plant. In a 60x60, 6 plants are already relatively tight (equivalent to about 16.6 plants per m2). 5-liter pots are a good choice as they still provide enough nutrient buffer but don't take up too much space, allowing you to accommodate the 6 clones better. 7.5-liter pots would also work, but it will be very tight, and the risk of overcrowding increases. Since you are working with clones and switching them to 12/12 immediately (or after a very short growth phase), the plants will stay smaller than if you had a long vegetative phase. Smaller plants need smaller pots. Hope that helps you out! 😘

I gave my answer a bit of "mathematical fine-tuning" and deleted the old one: My rule of thumb is 1 liter of soil per 0.01 square meters of indoor growing space. With your 0.36 square meters, that would be 36 liters of soil, so for example, 6 pots of 6 liters each.

Hi, so I would let them recover for about 2/3 weeks after transplanting and grow a bit more before you send them into a 12/12 cycle. I think you'll probably get more out of it if you just do 3 plants in larger pots. A pot that's too small restricts root development and slows down growth. I would put 3 plants or a maximum of 4 in square pots. If your tent is tall enough, go for 25x25 and about 30 high; that's around 18 liters, and they'll definitely yield more than 6 in such small pots, plus you'll have more problems with fertilizing.

One adult plant should fill the space nicely.

I would put 5 pots with 7 liters or 6 pots with 5 liters on 0.36 m², depending on what you prefer. However, if you start directly with 12/12 and don't give a vegetative phase, I would place the pots a bit closer together since the plants won't develop as much.
