Simple to answer "anything is possible" but I wouldn't bet the farm on itI want to know if its possible to grow 5-10 pound plants in a greenhouse in 1000 gallon pots? I know a lot goes into this answer and its not simple. The question is IS IT POSSIBLE?
1 plant per pot, 12 plants, 12 1000 gal pots. Yeah, the idea is to grow big plants with long strong roots.Why not go with 50 gallon pots/barrels? Would be easier to manage than a singe 1000 gallon.
Not putting all your "chickens" in one basket type of thing.
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.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 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.why not just grow in the ground
That's a big yield! How about posting some pics?2 years ago I had 5 lb yields per plant in 600 gal pots. The plants got root bound though and ran out of space. We should have gotten more.
i grew up in vacaville ,so keep your wining to yourselfIf 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.
