Thank you so much BigSm0!! I really appreciate you saying so as that means a ton coming from a grower such as yourself! Really...
Now I grew in 1 gallon, 2 gallon, 3 gallon. Did a 5 gallon once and grew 4 x 10 Gallon buckets and honestly... I don't see a major factor in anything larger than 1 gallon that makes me go OH I gotta grow in that! Nothing... As a matter of fact I grew in 2 gallon bags for over a year and did not see any reason to NOT go back to 1 gallon. To me it was a waste of dirt.
Now... I've had strains like my SD and SB that I will say yes they will absolutely fill a 2, 3, etc.. And up... The roots will fill it up no problem... Because they are big plants.. Regardless. But I've grown many many autos that would be technically dwarf autos... What I call fire hydrants lol I think no matter what you grew that in it would be the same size lol
Photos are kinda similar to me... I've vegged photos from 3 weeks all the way to 4 months... Regardless of long veg or long bloom they ended up the same size...
I think plant size... Especially... With autos.. Depends on phenotype. I like to breed for size and branching... So I've used big mothers. The SAD i used for the mother of the Sister Discipline was huge. But right now I'm getting the luck of the draw with Fast Buds and Dinafem... One runt Critical + other 2 are huge... So again pheno.
Sorry I'm stoned off Sugarbaker and I'm rambling... Point being with the right strain/pheno you can grow monsters in 1 gallons... I've gotten 5 & 6 zips off one gallon before...
Excellent!! Can't wait to see that!! I swear I'm the only one who grows in one gallons on this site lol
Here's some shots of the Sugarbakers coming down... And the double headed one is the Blue Dream that topped itself...
