In pots or in the ground?

[Trippyness]

So smart pots vs in the ground. From what I know planting in the ground always yields more.
I wont be using the ground soil for obvious reasons. Promix mainly.

Mainly looking for a lb per plant.

I got 4-5 going out. In an outdoor scrog. around a meter apart

Hello mates,

I am wondering if I should dig a large 20-30gallon hole and fill it with pro-mix or get a 20-30 gallon pot and fill that with the same medium?

Mainly wondering for yield purposes.

Also 20-30 Gallon which is best for yeild? Im well aware that root size determines yield, but am wondering from experiance what the major differance is.
Im looking for a LB per plant.

Started from seed and are goingout in mid may and harvest october.

Also I am using the lucas formula with maxibloom for nutrients to help them thrive.

If you are only going to use 20-30 gallons then I'd say dig holes for sure. You will have better results that way and that's easy to dig too. Deeper holes are better.

If you do us containers bigger would be better unless you live in the mountains or somewhere with very moderate temperatures.
Wrapping the container in burlap will help keep the roots cooler. If the roots get above 85 degrees they start to litterally cook (I think 85 is right, may be a little higher) and the sun heats them up quick. In the ground or in large containers (100+) then they thrive in hot temperatures as long as adequate water. Best of luck.

Nice, so in the ground yielded much much higher I see.
