u might save space and money putting 2-3 in a pot but come harvest time your gonna short your self!!! buy a bucket for each plant

grew in buckets for many years. At the end of the season I would look at the roots to get an idea what was happening. Most of the time the one plant filled the dirt with roots. They would wrap around at the bottom because they did not have enough room to go deep. I started using a 6 gallon bucket and they were bigger and better. As far as water, those baby's need one inch of rain a week. Try to use rain water is you can,otherwise sit your water out a few days to get rid of chlorine . Distilled is OK. Good luck, grow in the ground now.
