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

Everyone has their preference for soil if they're not amending their own. Miracle grow is typically way too hot (too much fertilizer) and a lot of it can contain pesticides or herbicides. Me personally, I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest from seed to harvest and have had great success. Some people say that FF OF is too hot for their seedlings and they opt for Fox Farms Happy Frog for the Seedling stage and Fox Farms Ocean Forest for the rest. I have yet to have any issues going straight into Ocean Forest soil.

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 grew this Moby Dick in a 5 gallon fabric pot. It yielded 1.3 pounds of dried bud. Not too bad for my first attempt.

Alot could be possible using fabric pots when the roots can grow down into good loose soil underneth it.
