How to determine what size my pots are.

[etg]

I got them at home depot a couple of years ago, tahoe 15" planter. They are 15 inches in diameter and 12 inches high. I am guessing this is a 3 gallon pot, but can anyone help?

Also a question for anyone who ever grew the strain R2 indoors - know the approximate flower time? I am looking for a way to magnify the plant in the grow site, but I am having problems finding a magnifying glass that is over 3X in power. I am going on day 43 on a couple and if this is a 60 day strain I should probably start giving it water only to try to flush it out. It is looking nice.

Anyways no time to put any pics up right now but any help would be appreciated.

Peace

my math say 2651 cubic inches and it is around 11.5 gallons

According to the math from the sites dtfsux posted it is almost 9 gallons [US, dry], which I assume they mean dirt..

15" is the diameter not the radius dtfsux

what are you guys talking about 11, 9 ??

Not 15 feet wide guys.

It would be a 3 to 3.5 gallon pot man

too funny

Wow. How dumb are we. I thought something was funny when it said 2100 cubic inches.

Thanks for correcting us and giving the right info. I'll try to stay out of the math threads for a little bit.

Agreed. I thought 4 pots were going to take one heck of a lot of dirt there for a while!

I think these guys had something to do with it

Actually I think you guys need to check your math or explain yourselves. My 2651 is wrong and I thought I changed that last night. I did the math in the wrong order after squaring the radius and after double checking I did come up with 2120 but guess I was being rushed and didnt make the change But the correct volume is 2120 cubic inches.

Formula is 3.142 * Rsquared x height

3.142x56.25*12=2120.85

That equals 7.8 gallons dry or 9.18 liquid


Or just go the first link and drag the orange dot to the size of your container and I bet you get the same answer.

Get a gallon milk jug, fill it with water, plug the drain holes in the pot, fill it with water and eyeball it. You can probably estimate it to within a pint. No math, keep it simple.

Yup, your math adds up. Weird that this pot, when put next to a 5 gallon pail, looks so much smaller. I wish I had a 5 gallon pail here now to measure it.

Anyways thanks!
