Pot size
Hey all! Quick potting question -
1st timer here - I have a 2ftx2ftx3ft grow tent and have two plants in separate 2.8Lt pots (about 4 weeks since their sprout). I noticed I can see the roots through the drain holes on the bottom..
Do I need bigger pots or will they be fine given the size of my tent?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Pot size
Thanks! I have a Mars Hydro 300w using happy frog soil.
Afraid to use a bigger pot since my space isn’t large by any means.

Re: Pot size
led is the right choice but i think you will struggle in small pot sizes, it makes things more tricky
to you have access to airpots?

Re: Pot size
Do not have access to airpots.. wouldn’t 2 10L pots be too large for my tent? Also do not want to shock the plants again if I need to repot. Why would my current pits be more tricky? Sorry for so many questions; just want my plants to thrive! Thanks again!

Re: Pot size
A tip for growing in small pots - You might find yourself having to water every day. Sometimes more often depending on your temps. :)
