Container size question: I’m going to start a few compact plants, do I need to use the big cloth container? Can I go to a smaller one? ---

There’s many plants grow in solo cups so the short answer is yes. I would say what you are planning on feeding will make a difference in how well it will do, just an example organic living soil in a cup wouldn’t make sense ---

If you purposely want to stunt them and keep them small you might use 1gallon cloth pots. ---

I’ve grown a few in 1 gallon fabric pots that stayed pretty compact, HST and LST will be needed along with the smaller pots 🤟 ---

@Craig_in_Baton_Rouge 5x5 is a nice sized tent. How many 1 gal plants you packing in there? Should be room enough for a bunch at that container size. If your growing photo you can flip as soon as the mature and really keep’em compact. Also how tall is your tent? ---

10 will do well in 1 gallon pots in a 5 x 5 with a good layout. Here’s 6 photo clones , 3 gallon pots in a 3 x 4 kept small (24”) and pulled 1.3 pounds of solid White Widow buds 🤟 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/6/a/46a3dc7d393b7b237e4731abdd5eaf4ca507c928.jpeg) ---

No matter what size pot you use, they’ll still need to be trained to be kept compact. This one is a 5 footer in a 1 gallon bag ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/7/5/b7533cbb0bec3d43da494c253fff3686b47c7598.jpeg) ---
