I am growing 9 plants in pots and in my pics you will notice I am using different pots/containers it's my first time growing. I had somebody tell me that would be my biggest issue so I was wondering what are the risks of growing in pots.. A few things I would really like to know is ( temp,direct sun light , if colour is a factor , space for roots , and if a 3-5 gallon container can grow 5+ foot plants?? )
Yes indeed. And that topsoil is booming with ready made bennies as well!!!!they make cheap grow bags in white if you want to transplant affordably. I bet that lawn has a couple inches of decent topsoil for the roots to grow into too
What are bennies ?? and where can I buy beneficial insects/predators like lady bugs,ants,lacewings , I'v even heard spiders frogs and other animals to fend of rodentsYes indeed. And that topsoil is booming with ready made bennies as well!!!!

To illustrate my experience with container size, all three of these female plants were from seed planted 3/15. The plant in the green pot and the plant in the ground were both transplanted on 5/9 from pots identical to the first plant.
The plant in the 7 gallon green pot happens to be 5 feet tall and as wide as the pot is. The plant in the ground is trained around 4 foot tall and 3 foot wide and growing for another six weeks.
The limiting factor appears to be pot size. In looking at your potted plants, it's easy to see the same correlation to pot size. All pics taken this morning.
yes mame....... what she saidIn this case he's referring to beneficial microbes.
Your grass will make it cooler for your pots it's much better than growing them on concrete at least. Heat is a problem for me as well as I am also growing in pots outdoor. I used 10 gallon wide pots. A good way of insulation to cover the top of the dirt and also all the way around the pots. I use big boulders and clean rocks from the mountain to sit on top of the soil also you can wrap the pots with a white towel or something to cover the sides of the pots from getting hit from the Sun. Weather is now changing and we're getting hotter and hotter temperatures I'm sure we're going to have to adapt.I am growing 9 plants in pots and in my pics you will notice I am using different pots/containers it's my first time growing.
