Can i do DIY wooden pots ?

[kodak91]

Hi guys

I've been using 11L/3Gallon pots for my autos and i was thinking of upgrading to 20L next grow to get the full potential of the strains.

Im trying to spend as little money as possible, and 20L/5Gallon pots can be quiet expensive, especially if i want to buy a bunch of them.

Since i have free access to wood and tools, my question is, can i do DIY wooden pots for my autos ? And if yes, what kind of modification should i do? Holes in the bottom but also on the sides (?) , and what color should i paint them, black or white?

Thanks

Wood rots, creates mold spots.

Get fabric pots or go by local home wine making stores and ask for 5 gal buckets. Sushi places also use big buckets.

You could make them in wood and line them with black garbage bags. You build frames to hold the plastic bags so to speak, should work.

I would also char them in the bottom to combat mold and make them more inert. Just drill a bunch of holes in the bottom. Good luck!
