Download Our CatalogYour chosen production method often determines your necessary container size.
Indoor Cannabis Growing
A high plant density is best for indoor growing with multiple layers to maximize space and yield. Using a smaller container such as a 2.5-gallon or a tall 1-gallon will allow you to create a uniform canopy. The tall 1-gallon pot can increase the plant density and the number of growing tiers in the existing space by reducing the final crop height.
We recommend using a 2.5 – 4-gallon container (depending on plant density) in a single layer for indoor or greenhouse growing methods. Whichever system you decide on, creating a filled-out canopy during the flowering stage is the best approach.
Outdoor Cannabis Growing
The plant will be in a container longer than those grown in a more controlled environment. We recommend a container of 5-gallons or larger to prevent the roots from becoming root-bound for crops with longer than six weeks of vegetative growth. Each container size has limitations based on the final size of the plant. For example, a small container will not withstand the increased size of the root system at eight weeks of growth. However, that container is perfect for a crop only growing for one to three weeks in the vegetative phase.

HC’s fiber growing containers are produced in a closed-loop water recycling facility with recycled newsprint and corrugated fibers. They allow moisture to move freely throughout the walls of the container for optimal drainage and healthy root systems by ensuring the entire plant can breathe – maintaining necessary oxygen levels while limiting root rot caused by over-watering.
Best of all, by either removing the bottom of the fiber container or simply allowing the roots to grow through safely and naturally, you can directly plant the entire container into the ground or a larger container without causing shock to the root systems. If your cultivating method is to grow starter plants before planting them into the ground, this option is great to limit your plastic waste and avoid root shock. The container will maintain its integrity long enough to establish a healthy root system.
Bottom line – a sustainable solution that saves time and prevents root shock to the plant.
