Live Stoner Chat Best size of cloth pot?

[EP3]

Hello friends,
I am pretty new and have been trawling for information and have ended up a little confused.
I jave read that 5 gallon pots are optimal for autos and so bought a uk size 5 gallon/ 22 Litre pot, its massive!! I also got a 16 litre incase 22 l was too big. I now realise that USA has diffetent volumes for gallons than UK so which pot is better?
Thanks,
EP3

Depends on your space limits. Bigger pots usually means bigger plants.

Depends on the medium, soil, autos 3 gal / photos 5 or 10 gal. Coco, 1 and 3 respectively.

I have 1m x 0.6m x 2m, growing in coco, that i am going to buffer with cal/mag, get rid of peat and mix with canna clay balls. Thinking of putting just one in there and push myself and try to LST the plant to get an even canpoy. (Only my third go, 1st died, second my light died with 2-3weeks left. Had 2 in that space and got about 1oz per plant)
Also how many air changes in that space and if i core high and low ventilation in the region of 100cm2 is that enough?
Thanks for the help.

It’s 11.3 liters

i use 3 gallon indoors and 5 gallon outdoors. In your space 3 gallon is what i'd use. And i think that ventilation is good for that space - sorry i just got up here and a bit fuzzy

Good luck to you on your new grow

So best to use the 16l one and what about 30% clay balls?
