smallest possible pot size?

I guess you could get a crap tonne of two liter bottles into the space though I would lean toward very tall slim grow bags with two gallon capacity or higher. Trouble is finding them, then again you could just make them yourself. End result is that if you are wanting to jam a lot into a small space, you do need to give your plants the opportunity to form some nice roots. Tall containers should help out in this respect.
Best example I can give is about six little dwarfs that I popped into fairly shallow two gallon containers because I had the pots sitting around and did it on a whim. Dumb move cause now all of them nice and thick and healthy and only a max of six inches tall. Heh. Total bonehead move but oh well. They are nearly done and I did not need the space right that moment.
All the others I have done had much more root space and do much better with that space, so since you don't have a lot of depth or width, go tall.

check out my sig for an answer: 5.5 x 5.5 inch square pots in 10 x 20 inch trays for AFs and clones. Organic Soil SOG.
My self have found that autos tap roots like to go deep 
so i don't think the pots size matters as much as the depth of the pot... the 2 - 3 ltr soda bottles do pretty well..
i am trying out PVC pipping atm... 1 meter in length i will report my results in a few months

good pheno, masakrator's auto ak47 grown under 400w hps / +- 10 litre pot
also i cant find but there was a photo of auto-plant grown under 400w HPS in 1 litre pot, yield wasnt bad

Haha...seriously...was shot glass size. Some peep was ragging on him saying he just stuck a small flowering branch in some soil...but then rinsed off the soil and showed the roots. This was from OverGrow if I'm remembering right...seemed legit. He did have to water the plant a lot though.
I feel I just experienced that thing called "epiphany".
Thanks for that picture.

Fair play to you shroomy, that is a grand idea.
I had been planning on doing my next one in a couple of two liter bottles grafted together to make a nice deep tube but I have to say other than the having to drop a little coin, I really like the idea of the pvc.
anyone grown any autos in 20 oz beer cups? after i get my auto done i think i'm going to try a grow with all beer cups and see what can kind yield it gets me compared to 6"x6"x9" pots.
