Pot size for velutina?

banana13 · 04-14-2013, 04:33 PM

HI, i just ordered some velutina seeds, and they are going to be grown in a pot, so how big should the pot be?

I started mine in seed starter trays. Then, once they grew, I put them into a bigger pot. Just re-pot to a bigger size once you see the roots coming out of the seed starter trays. Its better to stay smaller so that you don't overwater once they get growing.

I've never started Velutinas from seed, but mine have been in a 5 gallon pot since last June. Eventually I'll move it up once it gets big enough, but I doubt Velutinas need it very big. Like shown above, I'd estimate 15 gallons max. Velutinas from my research seem to grow according to root space though; - Some grow only 3 feet, others over 4 feet when not in pots.
