Hi All,

Im very happy to find this forum so easily. Congrats on a great community!

Im in Suffolk county Long Island NY and thinking about growing next summer.

Problem is security. Im paranoid that my plants may walk away late summer if I plant in the ground. So 5 gallon bucket seems the best. I can bring these inside as needed.

Stuck here on my internal debate.


I have grand plans all ready to go for the grow. perfect spot.. perfect soil, Miracle grow.. pruning.. Am looking forward to it.

Cheers

Theives aren’t the only reason to plant in pots. Insects, bud rot, and inclement weather almost robbed me of my crops. It would not have been easy to bring them in had I planted them in the ground. Just a thought to muddy the waters.

And the suggestion to use 10 gallon + containers is a good one. I grew in 5 gallon containers last summer. The yields were great but I was watering every day.

Good luck and happy growing!

I would not go less than 10gal pot for photoperiods. Autos would do fine in 5gal.
