1500 plants -- boggles the mind! And in 4-gallon containers. Yes, I'll rethink going bigger. One thing about the 10 gallon bags -- I don't need to fill them completely. My present ones have about 8 gallons (?) of media.
Yep, we are busy all the time, but we do this commercially for profit. I started with 15-20 gallon, and they do work, but it is super expensive and yield is not better. I start noticing a difference when we go under 3 gallon.
You certainly will be able to grow monster plants in 10 gallon, you can also let some pruning slide and still not dry them out too fast. If you need any help with fertigation, or fertilizer components just ask.
