I have some contractor trash bags that are a thick plastic and should block out any light, so if I put some slits or holes in the bottom can I use them for pots. I am going to do 10 monster trees outside but I want them to get as big as possible so I want larger than a 5 gallon bucket.

YOU WONT GET ANY AERATION IN there using plastic and it can trap some heat which isnt good for roots.

so cheap its not a cost.
warning: plastic pots are kinda whorish when its watering time.
these come pre holed and stand up nicely.

I was watching a show on weed that's on netflix and the growers had the outdoor plants in big black bags full of soil if I cut the entire bottom off and let the bottom of the good soil touch the ground would that help at all or is that just a dumb idea lol.

if you could put some sort of raised mesh then placed the rootballs on that, yes.
just dirt, no.
