Best pots to use outdoor?

[Dave420)]

what is the best pot to use outside in Ga? Does anyone know of a way to make cheap ones?

Root Pots by Roots Organic/Aurora Innovations is what I use, and I'm in the deep south as well. They are made of fabric so your plants roots can get proper oxygen and your roots wont circle the pot. I use the 5 gal but that is a bit small. Depending on how big you want to go.

buy cheap trash cans and drill holes.

I don't have much experiencewith autos to be honest. I do think 30 gallons is overkill for autos since they only yield at most a few ounces. Your sacrificing yield and potency for a faster harvest with autos imo

Your better off with holes in the ground depending on local soil quality or how hard it is to dig there. I'd prolly justget an auger and dill holes and fill with proper soil in any case even if the soil sucked and was clayed up and hard to dig. The main benifit of pots in my eyes are that you can move them around. They require much more watering. Can get potbound and limit yield, can be challenging to keep roots cool in some enviorments.
