Bigger pots don't always equal bigger plants. I believe that a good start in the early stages of veg. determines final plant size.
Sorry Doctor, cause I like ya, but that's dumb and wrong. Nutrient uptake and overall plant health is absolutely a direct function of root mass.

I use 50 gallon totes, 2 plants per container. Sure you can get a big ass plant in a 5 gallon container, but it's going to be root bound like a mother fucker.
I also get 1.5-2 lbs per 1000 watt light with my method of growing. But strain can effect a lot of that as well.
And I don't really care about the expense part. Weed makes me a lot of money.
I'm liking that idea....do you grow coco or soil? I'm getting super sick of watering each plant individually and that's only 6 of them. I would love to have 4-6 plants in only 2-3 containers.
Also what strain do you get 2lbs/light from?

I was thinking of doing something along those lines as well. I was most likely going to do more of a 6-8 gallon container with a ball valve. Nice work!

No need for name calling Harry.
From personal experience and real world testing over the course of a year, I am neither dumb or wrong. Nor should I be called such, as I'm not just rebounding info I've read elsewhere, but actually took the time and effort to find out for myself.
Now now, there was no name calling (I hope I don't need to review what that is), nor did I call YOU dumb. I'm simply saying your findings (while seemingly valid) fly directly in the face of a hundred years of botany research. Not things random stoners say on the internet (seriously, don't trust anything you read on rollitup), but actual, legitimate peer reviewed botany. I don't doubt the tests you mention actually occurred, but I doubt that they were perfectly administered and controlled, and there must have been undiagnosed extraneous factors affecting the outcome. If nothing else, your results are site specific, and not a rule of thumb for all indoor gardeners, but rather unique results tailored to your specific growing environment and unrepeatable under controlled conditions.
