Hey I am new with this forum stuff. I was going to start my first gurilla grow, and I want to do it right! I am digging up the existing soil and refilling with ff ocean forrest. can anybody tell me how big I should make the holes and about how many 1.5 cubic feet bags it would take to fill 10 holes?

You could still expect some buds if you go with a very quick growing strain (no sativas, just some short indicas).

A hole of about 1.5-2 cubic feet (40-50 l) will be enough for one short plant, since the roots on indicas tend to keep more compact. So 10 bags of soil should do the job fine.

But if you won't offer a steady supply of water to your plants, you should dig deeper holes, since in the absence of water, roots will stretch out in search for more water.

For a plant like that you should go for 2-3 cubic feet holes if you've got the shovel for it. But it's well worth the effort, a big yielder like that is going to grow amazingly outdoors. You'd better have alot of space for 10 of those.

If the plant is well fed, has enough light and space, it can go up to 2 pounds per plant, especially on a Big Bud started in the spring. It's really worth the effort.

Thank you Doc. When digging the holes that big is it a good Idea to line them wit some sort of plastic with good drainage?

Don't. In case the roots actually manage to stretch out more, they'll just hit more soil. If you pot plastic in, you may experience root lock.

Don't worry about it, it's usual for a few small roots to grow crazy and stretch, but at least this way they won't bundle up.

Yeah with that size of a hole I think the bulk of the roots will stay in the good soil, and by that time I'll be giving her some ff nutes. Have you ever seen a pic of this strain on this site anywhere? I would like to see the structure of one.
