Digging big holes for my outdoor plants

[Ddaman79]

Ok so I've seen several times on YouTube people growing pounds of dry weight on single photo plants and they always have giant fabric pots they are in or big wood grow boxes so I want to dig some big holes for my plants as well but don't have fabric bags like that what could I do like digging my hole and put like a tarp or big bag down to separate my soil and the normal grounds soil somebody please explain what they do and also what a normal yield would be for pineapple og and gelato

First you need to keep the plant indoors under a light and get it big before you transplant it for the season. Then you can either do some wood boxes or get some cheap fencing and build your pot out of that and then line it with that draining weed mat material. You can dig the holes and fill with your amended mix and then have a 2 foot raise with the fencing and weed mat or wood. the roots only really go down like 2 feet and so 2ft and wider the better, easier to control the dry downs and temp as the ground acts as a heat sink. Amend heavy and top dress like 2-3 times the whole season. or use synthetic nutes like a 20-20-20 and push them hard lol,

I start with seeds that are suited to outdoor growing in my area. If you grow plants that don't flower to mature you won't be happy. My sister grows in an area where she likes patio lights. That limits her choices due to light control. Pineapple og and gelato probably isn't a choice I'd make where I live. For you, the seed choices could be fine.

Next is choosing an area that gets the sun. I plant under a tall spruce with no low branches (20 ft. clear) which gives water from the trees drip line. I expect PH is affected in a positive way since weed plants love it there.

The type of earth where you dig the hole matters which you obviously get from your post. I've seen plants in clay where I had to pound a spike into the ground before a pole to support the plant could be put in. Don't grow in sand either. You mention putting a tarp or big bag down to separate. That could turn into a moldy bowl but in some climates that wouldn't be a concern. Where I live I dig a hole, plant, and water a dozen times during the grow. No problems with bugs yet either.

Where ever and regardless of what steps you take to prepare an area you then need to be able to grow using the right amount of water and fertilizer, paying attention to when it's too cold or wet. This comes with experience which you get by growing. Where are the dry spots/ wet spots in your yard, the sunny spots, the private spots that are more secure. Start with growing the right strains in a place that could be successful. Then you have to do the right things for months. That will be easier if you set it up properly now.
