Growing Cannabis Outdoors in Containers
Professor DeBacco
Similar to Direct Soil Planting… but different
Planting cannabis into containers is common for indoor applications, but it is gaining popularity with the outdoor growers as well.
This is in part because the growers can have control over what their plants are growing in.
With the increase in fabric containers popularity these have become more cost effective and able to be utilized by more growers.
Basic process is the same as planting in the soil, but there is more work to fill the containers.
Container Planting Advantage
If the soil is not conducive for plant production containers make a great alternative to be able to use a field that would otherwise not be profitable.
Weeding is often reduced
Growing substrate is under more exact control of the grower
Container Planting Disadvantage
Initial costs
Filling the containers
Irrigation system

please tell me what kind of ownership the substrate should have. I am asking because some people say that it is not right to spake water like that, and in your video they spake the soil so much.
Grower should have mulched those plants. Especially at that scale. Watering requirement would be less and would suppress the weeds from germinating. They could even have rented a woodchipper and chipped some of the trees they cut for mulch. I’m using bagged animal bedding straw to mulch my 5 gal pail container plants.
I noticed in the previous video that plants were put directly into the soil, where everything was forest not long time ago. I collected the same experience, planted different plants where there was wood around 15 years ago. Despite 15 years, I had many issues. The worst is the acidity due to pine trees.
What did you use for soil/substrate filling that many containers?
What to do during rainy season
Looks like they’d have to condition that ground soil over a few years. It’s possible. I did it small scale in a heavy clay soil
I use 1/3 pete moss 1/3gravel and 1/3 black mud in a 5 gal container?
This is awesome. Is that indica strain?
This is ridiculous, growing in these size pots aren’t giving the plants any advantages of growing outdoors. All they are doing is replacing indoor lights with the sun as the light source. What cannabis plants need to thrive and grow to maturity over the outdoor growing season is 60 gal to 100 gal pots so that the roots have the room they need to expand and spread vociferously. Putting them in 20 gal to 35 gal pots (even fabric pots) are half measures and curtails their root spread and limits their growth. To grow cannabis to its full potential outdoors, put them in 100 gal fabric pots with top notch soil in 8+ hours of full sun (that’s not shaded by surrounding trees) with a regular watering source that saturates the pot every 2 to 3 days (depending on ambient temp) and apply the 1/3rd prune rule to keep the interior open with good air flow and focusing the growth on the "fruit" (buds) to the outside 2/3rds where the sun’s light penetrates. To grow excellent cannabis, rule of thumb: nurture the soil (manure, compost tea, beneficial bacteria, mycorrhizae), feed the roots (Humic Acid, Mycorrhizal Fungi & Sea Kelp), feed the plant (calcium, magnesium, NPK), protect the plant (against bugs, mold & mildew).
Would you recommend elevating the fabric pots to eliminate wicking
Dig troughs and bottom water maybe?
How to i go to this place and take classes from u
I would really like to see the progression of this Garden I hope there will be a follow-up video on this girl operation very interesting to me
Nutrition in your soil is key when growing in pots. In order to keep healthy microbial chemistry in your potted soil you must feed your potted soil often. I use a liquid cow manure tea I comprise from 1 part liquid manure, 3 parts hydrogenated water, pot ash(from my bon fire pit), malted milk powder. Mixed to a frothy perfection and I feed the pots weekly.
What about growing in mounds given those conditions mentioned in this video?
My first season where I have been able to start my seeds in March and have the WHOLE season to hopefully see the fruits of my labor of love! The learning is the biggest curve … especially nutrients! I’m winging it the best I can. Fingers crossed I have a decent yield!
Awesome but he should elevate the bags or they will Root into the ground! 💚🌱👌💨☕
The Video is a couple years old but it doesn’t make any difference. An FYI: you can get grow bags in different colors. Black tends to get hot and can harm the root system. Buy the lighter color bags that help to reflect the heat. I have them in 7 and 15 gallon size. I found the 15s to require way more soil than I can afford. I’m growing Photos and the 7s seem to work fine.

Congratulations Professor
Do they have to ph the water? Looks like they’re just using city or well water from the hose.
Haven’t seen any light setting you guy growing them straight without light?
I used to do this but the watering became too time consuming. Ten gallon fabric pots is what I used and they would dry in 24 hours after a couple months of growth. I use raised beds with heavily amended soil past two summers. Less watering, bigger plants. I had some monsters last summer.
How can we get a sample? Just to see how good it came out 😊
Great video brother. I have 15 plants. 5 in ground. 5 in fabric pots and 5 in plastic containers. I don’t like to put all my eggs in one basket. Always learning. 3rd season growing. Gets bigger and better every year
Are those 5 gallon or 10 ? Whats better taller or wider bag or bucket?
👍👍👍
What an idiotic idea.
Heya bro, amaizing growth really impressive.
Could you pls tell when from you put plant outside, is week wise or size wise after sprouting?
It was so rainy this year I kept my fabric pots on a sunny porch with an overhang until the roots were strong enough to suck up all the water they receive. Read your plants read your soil!
You spent too much time talking about the WHY instead of the HOW. A bit disappointed ☹️
Yes very nice indeed
…
Make some hash.
Nice video
I had the same problem and dug approximately 7 gallon holes then filled them with good soil it works great
I see every bag has what looks like weeds around the plant or are they on purpose to help with pests?
Out door is good depends on who the farmer is
Your channel and perfect Gardens are two of my favourite sources of real information on marijuana cultivation I really enjoy your channel I am an outdoor grower on a commercial scale in Northern Quebec Canada and I depend a lot of information from your video
I set my grow bags in plastic kiddie pools. Then you just need to maintain a few inches of water in the pools.
I grow outdoors in containers because my soil here In the Chihuahuan desert is around 7.9 ph lol This also protects my plants from gophers!
Why are there actual weeds growing in the pots with the cannabis? 😂
Wouldn’t that affect growth in the plants with something else in the pot taking its nutrients???
Where did you get 1000 seeds that are affordable
🙂
Cheers’ Dr. green thumb
Should have been placed in 15 gallon pots and bent towards the north, would get more natural tops and higher yield
55 gallon…drill 1 inch holes around it. Back east sucks for grow climate. Far too humid during flowering..
I have the exact same grow bags. Someone told me to put them on bricks or a raised platform to improve drainage and air flow.
Hey Peace King , I’ve been getting a lot of white termite looking pests .They eat from the root and eat through the stems . Can anyone help ?
What is your pot size?
My first grow was mixed. Indoors, outdoors in a pot and outdoors in the ground. My best yields were on outdoors in a pot. I think there’s a couple of reasons why. First, electricity is expensive where I’m from so I couldnt keep the indoor lights running for long periods of time. I also live in an area with lots of sun during most of the year, the outdoor plants were bigger than the indoor plants. My observation was that you have to be careful where you grow it. Place the pot outside in an area where there’s lots of sun and not many trees. The shadow from the trees can reduce the sun the plants get. Also you’ll have to watch the plants more carefully for insects like caterpillars. Bud root is also a problem when it rains heavily or when the humidity is high. Also the wind can bring in pollens from foreign cannabis plants and polinate your female plants. Overall, growing outside has its challenges but if your in a place with lots of sunshine through the year, it makes more sense financially. My ultimate aim is to grow outside in a semi-controlled environment. Walls to block off wind, a cover to manage the water from rain and humidity
