New Grower Question on pot size?

[hod928]

Hey everyone, I got a question on what pot size to use.

I built myself a Microgrow cab, it is 2'x2' running a 125w CFL. I plan on doing LST/SCROG on the first attempt.

My question to you is what size pots should I get for my girls? I need to keep the plants small and bushy. I only plan on running 1 plant this first grow and then maybe 2 for the next one. Here is the seeds I ordered if that will help any.

Well, I've got a 3x3x6 secret jardin, and I could easily fit four 5 gallon pots in there...but Im also using a 400w HPS with CFL side lighting...
I would say since you don't have a lot of light to work with (at least currently), probably a safe bet to stick to one plant. Even more so being your first grow. Having only one seed of each strain , IMO, is a double edged sword...especially when your new on the grow game. you get to have more of a variety, and as they say - it's the spice of life lol. But in the same breath, it's not leaving a lot of room for error. As a noob, you're almost guaranteed to mess up something at some point. we've all done it lol. and god forbid your mistake costs you the health of or your worse, your whole plant, you won't be able to give it another try until you order more..but again, variety is the spice of life, so why get the same strains? lol

Anyway, in short, I would go 2 gallon.
