i've been lookin around for some information on this, but i can't find it so i'm hoping someone on these boards could help me out. i'm lookin to have the plants i'm growin to max out at around 4-4.5 feet tall plants from the soil to the top of the main cola and was wondering if anyone could help me out on an amount of promix i'd need roughly per plant. i read a guide somewhere that told how much per foot tall you wanted the plant to be, but i couldn't find it again. :( so i'm hoping someone here could help me out, thanks in advance for any and all help guys!!!!

i have heard a galon per month of life you expect your plant to grow is a good range to follow. i started in 1 galon pots, not knowing any better. but iv recently upgraded to 3 galon with great results so far. my plants usually top off at about 2 1/2 ft or ScrOG. hope i could help

rule of thumb is one gallon per foot of height so in your case, a five gallon pot will suit your purpose. A 3qf compressed bail of promix will fill about 6 5 gallon buckets
