Default 18 gallon Earthtainer 3 Build

I am constructing 2 18 gallon tote Earthtainer 3's. I have a question as to the size of the net pot. Should I use the same size as the larger 31 gallon totes or should I scale it down?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,

Use the same 5 inch Net Pot, but I would recommend drilling a 3 inch diameter wicking opening. Here are two 18 gallon EarthTainers outside today:
