It's possible... But if I'm growing outside I am using soil because you can't control the pH the rain. And I prefer to use 5-7 gallon pots. They don't dry out as fast...

Makes sense about drying out fast. Any strains you would recommend?

I didn't have much luck with the weather last year... But I'd go with more sativa leaning strains of you are in a humid or wet climate... Something like Fastbuds tangiematic... Or something with a haze in it.... Stay away from super squat dense plants like Mephisto 24 carat...

What’s the reason to restrict the size? I’ve always found,with in reason,bigger pots are better if you want to achieve big yields. You also benefit from less watering and more medium to buffer out mistakes with ph and salt build up.

That’s the current pot size I have. I would buy more but was interested in if I could use what I got.

For maximum outdoor yield use 5 gal pots, mix three cup of steer manure, 5 cups of pearlite in the potting soil and go with the following strains:
Auto Mazar
Auto White Widow
Auto Ultimate

I grew these ladies outdoors in about 3g pots (we use metric) with basically premium potting mix,compost , kelp meal and fish meal using rainwater straight from my tanks and yielded on average about 50 grams a plant . The best was the White Widow on the right from Phoenix seeds . Quite an impressive Auto to grow. The two on the left are Dinafems Moby Dick XXL and G13 Labs Pineapple Express. I’m no expert so others could possibly do better but I was happy being an outdoor grow .

I got 87 grams inside with t5 and few CFL with ak49. 10 liter pot. Outside should be no problem whatsoever.

Exactly. If I was growing outdoors, I'd use the biggest one I had the room for. Build A Soil sent me a giant 65gal fabric pot that I didn't order, but am really tempted to setup it up outside, lol.
