What size pots?

[Nooby]

Hi m8s,

 

Was tossing up between planting in ground or pots and have pretty much decided to go for the pots as I can move them around according to sun positions and if they have to be moved in case of visitors etc. Was wondering what size should the final pot be? I read somewhere that 7.5 gallon was the ideal for indoor but not sure if the same goes for outdoors as well.

 

Cheers

Hi Nooby, the bigger the pot the bigger the plant so go as big as you can.

 

Peace MongyMan

i agree with mongy the bigger the better i wouldnt be going any smaller than a 20l pot for an outdoor plant

A lot bigger than that if you can though. Get some good castors, some 2 by 4 and make yourself a heavy duty rolling stand, and then get as big a pot as you can convieniently use. I would suggest a 50l or even 65l pot.

 

There are limiting factors to growth of cannabis, one is the size of the root zone and composition. Bigger the pot, bigger the plant. And outdoors, it could be a monster if you wanted it to.

Yeah I dont want it 'too' big if you know what I mean. ;-)

[loylty gets u nothing]

as luke says 50l

510mm is a good 1

i use 300mm but i use coco outdoor

and at 35$ a bag i only get 1 pot of coco out of a bag..

get yaself some good soil maybe searles

all the best

Agree on the larger pots. Garden city platics make green grow bags at 35, 45, 70 liters cheap(go the 70 they're not that big). Any smaller and youl get rootbound real quick. Coco will be the best medium for as far as yield's concered.

[loylty gets u nothing]

growing in pots.growbags watever

they are still a bit cramped

the roots dont get the room without the pots

so keep in mind that growing in pots

will never yield anything close to a plant in the ground unrestricted

so if u wanna get big results and ya outdoors

imho the ground is the go

 

all the best

20 litre pots, those white buckets bakeries use can be good, . mU can leave them in the pots their whole life and so long as u keep the water up to them they'll reach full enough size in that. But if u get "so far" intoi the grow, and figure all's fine, and they're not going to ned moving, dig new holes, and line with builder's plastic, pot out into that.

 

either that, or cut the bottom of the pots out and put back in their spots, that way they can ut down roots deeper, and the pot sides will channel excess water down for the roots to follow.

 

But even if u grow from start to finish in pots, be sure to bury them. keeps them hiiden and cool from drying out in the summer sun.

 

All the best.
