So I have my first plant ever growing. It is in a 7 gal pot and seems to be doing well. I want to grow 6 plants next year so just trying to get everything on site. I am thinking about trying some smart pots. Also thinking about a 20 gal size. Will I see any benefit over the 7 gal I am using now ? I think I will be using FFOF soil.
Thanks for any help.
This will be outdoors.

Thanks.....Bigger the better....LOL....Well I need to keep the pot size in check. I am just thinking that 20 gal might fit my program well.......Any better value in pots then smart pots ?

I didn't care for fabric pots. They need care to ensure a thorough saturation when water or feeding. And what to use to get off the overflow tray so the bottom doesn't rot. Those are the reasonsI went back to plastic.
But a 20gal fabric pot is easier to deal with than my little 12x 5gal room.
Depending how hot it is where you grow a 20 gallon could be a little small. I have three of them going now & had to water them twice a day in the heat of the summer. all the extra watering washes all the nutes out of the pot & requires extra feeding compared to the in ground or 45 gallon or larger pots.
Thanks everyone.......It gets hot here in NorCal....Had a stretch where it never had a day under 108 for the high..I like the 45 idea but think I will stick with 20 gal and see how it goes. I will be looking for the best deal weather it be fabric or Plastic. I am pretty sure I will screw up more then the pot will :D
I am only going to grow 6 plants.....I will be growing them on my deck which is 12'x12'. I will build 2 benches that hold 3 plants each so I can spread them out a little. I found some pots but it is either 15 gal or 30 gal.....Do you think 30 gal will be ok in that space?
Thanks
