That belongs in a 25 gallon. It would typically be rootbound in a 10 gallon pot.

I have a plant (Ghost train haze) that's 6' wide, 6' tall, 5' wide; in a 25 gallon pot. Still vegging while I refit the lights. (3x the light per unit)

I still feed that plant every 2 days, speaking of feeding. And it took about 10 days to dry out after the transplant. So, no matter what pot size you're in, it's going to eventually be feeding on that 2 day cycle, once it finds its pace. Automate.

I can only say this about your predicament. Hand watering mix is (can be) all about individual attention, and hand checking (weighing) and visually checking the plants multiple times daily, imo.

i'd go big ass geo pots/smart pots and take a no till approach so you can keep the work load light.

i'll be trying this on a much smaller scale this year in 15gal ammended with coots mix.

Btw, I use a pack of 4' bamboos (25), and 1.25 pack of 6' bamboo (6-8) for each plant. Plus landscaping tie to LST the bushes wider rather than taller.

If I was growing for height, I would have hit the ceiling months ago.

I have 4 25 gallons in an 8x8 space. I can tell you that you don't want to transplant them all on the same day. Not only the physical component, but the humidity issues you might have by dumping 100 gallons of drenched potting mix in an enclosed and sealed area.

I could realistically fill the entire 8x8 space with 1 plant and maybe 3-4 weeks more veg time (with an automatic feeding system to help me keep up).

It's a new test, so it'll either be a mess or friggin awesome.
