Default Ground vs Pot

Guerilla Growers: Should i grow in pots or in the ground? Is it worth the effort to dig out the soil? Or can i just plant in a large pot?

My thoughts are that a large(5 gallon or greater) pot would be much easier than digging a large hole. What should i do?

it all depends on what kind of soil you have...if you have a good rich loam then you'd definitely want them in the ground, however if you do use pots depending on what strain and when you plant them i'd say you'd want a minimum of 10gal but if you start mid april or early may then i'd say go up to a 15gal

I'm debating this too, from what I read this is what I've figured out:

- Using pots could be a good way to control plant size if you don't want a monster.
- Potted plants probably stand out a little in areas you'd want to grow.
- You need to water far more often with pots.

If one doesn't want to dig holes, Burlap bags work great. they act like a wick system soaking up the morning dew.
Buckets/pots need watering every day or two.

This summer I'm using five gallon buckets from home depot, drilling several medium-sized holes in the bottom and using 50/50 coco coir and perlite. My plan is to dig holes for each of them and bury almost to the rim so they are much less noticeable but in perfect soil, ph, etc. after time the roots will extend through the holes in bottom too. I'm fortunate however and will be able to water every 2-3 days no prob and so am gonna use a little organic nutes too.

actually I think digging a hole is a waste of time.. just loosin up the dirt 7 or 8 inches below with alittle garden tool and let the roots worry about getting farther, after all your limited to a pot, but you have unlimited space in the ground.. taking that extra few minutes to do so will pay off at the end.. but its up to you. just giving my few cents
