Large raised bed, greenhouse, proper strain, long veg... its possible, not probable

Not to mention, pests and diseases can be contained in the soil the plant is being grown in. If you were to catch something nasty, then chances are all of your plants will be affected by it. As apposed to losing 1-2 plants.

Simple to answer "anything is possible" but I wouldn't bet the farm on it

Why would you want to use 1000 gallon pots, as you will need a back-hoe to fill them up.
hope your greenhouse is at least 12 feet high, as that is what you will need to grow 5 to 10 pounds per plant

yea obviously it's possible. but 10 pounds per plant? holy cow you'd be talking about a tree!
Plus you're in a greenhouse, relying on the sun's algorithms? Not sure if that would work depending on your geographical location. And you're talking about 1000 gallon pots? Why not just plant in the ground? Or dig a large hole and fill it with good soil?
Of course, if the plant does not die in the winter (due to freeze) it will revegetate in the spring and summer, getting larger every year. You might could get a large tree looking plant over several years but i have never really heard of that...

If I had a greenhouse I would rock some rdwc in there. Faster growth.

1 plant per pot, 12 plants, 12 1000 gal pots. Yeah, the idea is to grow big plants with long strong roots.

why not just grow in the ground

10 lbs would be the maximum. Looking more for the 5-7 lb range. We are talking about southern California and I'd rather not put them in the ground but in these pots with chicken wire lining the bottom to keep away moles.

If you haven't noticed California is in a state of emergency for the drought. The ground isn't exactly soft and moist when there isn't a drought let alone now.
