pot size and how it effects plant size

so now lets talk about pots.when making a decision on what pots to use you need to consider a few factors.how much room do you have?how many plants are you allowed to have?how tall do you want them?i like the SMART POTS they are really user friendly.after your harvest all you have to do is empty out your medium and throw them into the washer.take them out let dry and your ready for the next round.the SMART POTS are made from fabric so oxygen can get to the roots and thats good for the plants,and whats good for the plants is GOOD  for you!now since they are round and soft sided they do not stack into the room as nicely as square pots.i think the SMART POTS are the better choice.also if you use the smart pots and you want to put them outside all you have to do is dig a hole and put the whole pot into the ground and cover it up thats it!the SMART POTS allow the roots to grow right through the sides and when the plant has been harvested dig up your SMART POT and throw into washing machine and it's ready again.try doing that with a hard side pot.now with all that being said,your pot dictates plant size.tall pots will let your plant grow tall,short fat pots will make plant short and fat.your branches on your plant will not grow past the edge of your pot.thats general rule of thumb any way.now there will be some crazy ass strains out there that will go past the edge of your pots.just go's to show that rules are made to be broken!!well i hope that this was helpful to some one out there.i wish you good luck with your pot farming and may all your buds be big and sticky!!
