straight in the ground or containers?

If you have rocky or poorly drained soil, you may be forced to use an above ground pot. Since I live in the sandhills, I always put them in the ground. You can still use your soil mix. Just dig out how ever big of a hole you want.

Remember wider is more important than deeper.
I've read some studies and what not about an argument about cannabis having a "tap root".

In the course of that I learned it has secondary and third root systems.

The main root goes deep. Sometime twice the height of the plant in debth.

The next two sets if roots grow horizontal and catch run off.

Though I agree wider than deeper. Though I wouldn't object to a deeper hole if possible.

Grown both of them before but from different breeders. Well i guess it depends on which northern lights # you got. Ive grown 2 different ones side by side, one was more sativa leaning and did well and the other molded as it had much more dense bud.

Ive had bud mold not from rain but from the humidity and lack of wind with heavy dews at night. I raised nirvanas wonder woman one year that was simply fabulous looking, huge massive colas all over the plant and when i broke open the cola solid mold. I threw away a lot, prob 1.5-2lbs. Off that plant. Smaller bud made it threw ok as it didnt hold the moisture as bad. Still made a decent yield off that plant. Was not big either like shoulder tall.
I still have 2 seeds from it but they are regular. I should have kept a cutting as it was very skunk leaning in smell, strong and amazing yield. Got that same plant crossed with some mulanje.

I bred a wonder woman male to several strains and got some seed off those but have not yet put those in dirt.
Chemdawg, OG kush, gsc, trainwreck and i think it was iced grapefruit all made some babies.

I prob have bred a hundred different strains to various others for seed and havnt even put them in dirt as im always ordering new stuff. I think i have a problem actually. Im a seed junkie. :(

I got enough seed to last a long time if need be. Who knows maybe some of my stock will be valuable one day haha

I solved that prob...built a stand 8ft tall and put a bastardized swamp cooler on top...basically a big squirrel cage fan...works great...hth

I used to do both. I would dig down three foot or so with post hole diggers, and dig it wide. As I get older, the fewer tools I have to pack in the better.
