18 inches would be about max depth. the huge trees u see people growing are anywere from 100-300 gallons of soil per plant. 18 inches deep x 6 feet wide is 300 gallons.

Smart pots sell the large pots up to i believe 400 gallons down to the little bitty ones. They give dimensions on their sight. I usally go 4 ft wide x 18 inches deep which is a little less than 200 gallons.

hole size

Been growing out doors for over 20 years.I have found sativas like a bigger hole.2 ft deep and 4 ft diameter.They seem to grow a little deeper tap root and form a root ball slightly larger than the canopy.Give em enough room to spread out and you will be rewarded with better buds.Indicas don't seem to develop the longer tap root but the root ball is about the same.You can dig em 18-24 ins deep with a 4ft diameter and they will do just fine.The bigger the hole the better the plant will grow cause you can treat it with more additives(manure,perlite,bone and blood meal)ENJOY!
