I plan on adding two pot plants to my container garden this year (the other end of this pic). I have 20g containers now (as well as 7's), will the 20's be suitable or am I better off with something like a 45g? I don't necessarily want trees that tower over that 6' privacy fence - the ground slopes down so there is some give there as well.
I could technically dig a hole in the ground at the end of the fabric and plant them in ground, I think our soil is ok, I think I just have a little more control with the containers.
Thoughts?
Also the potting mix I used was Promix HP + Coast of Maine Compost + Worm Castings + Organic tomato/pepper fertilizer. That should work fine for the cannabis too right?

Dig a hole then put a liner in like some plastic or a tarp, or a contractor garbage bag add some drain holes and grow in it.

Depends on how much you want to grow, if you want 4-8oz per plant or 1-3lbs ,or more per plant.

I ended up grabbing two 45g low profile containers to add to the end of the container garden. Using Build A Soil coot mix with the bale of Promix that I already have.
