I used 15gal fabrics and promixHP in Denver, which has twice the +90 degree days as Indianapolis with half as much humidity. I watered once a day early, except a handful of the hottest days. Last year I had mostly 15's, a few 20's on hybrids, and a couple 10's. This year, mostly 10's, some 15's and a few 7's.

*And this is all adjustable by the number of stems you're trying to feed. I believe AKMark is using a lot of 5gal pots and running one or two stem. This works conversely, a plant trimmed to 3 stems in a 15gal pot, will use less than an unpruned one. My point being, you can make the adjustment with the plant, or the container.
