Naw but I can look around in there to see if any thing I could use for my grow
There is a lot of basic information in there about how marijuana grows. It's not quite like growing tomatoes. Good luck bro, there's lot's of info here & you have lots of time.
 
If you're starting from seed start it in mid march. By planting time you should have a 1-2 foot plant. I would suggest sprouting 3-4 seeds unless you have fem seeds. Cull the males as they show and if you end up with a couple females then grow them out or select your best female if you really only want 1 plant

If you can not plant in ground then I would look into smartpots, about 10gal.+. If you can not get some "proven" clones, you will need to do some research about the kind of strains you're interested in. GL.

a ten gallon pot would do it from start to finish just fine. if you could double that size it will result in bigger plants. guys plant in 250-400 gal smart pots to max out the performance in plants with the genes to grow huge.
with a ten gallon you will need a great producing plant and great care/environment to get lb. while it's easily possible some practice may be required for those results. if I were you I'd either grow a few more variety:) , and better chances in case of one failure or small yield. or go with the biggest pot you feel comfortable with for no growth retrictions.


also try not to go from start to finish in one pot. start in smaller pot and repot once if not twice. I think it keeps he roots from going straight down and curling in on themselves to quickly and results in faster growth while young

I grow in a raised bed in my greenhouse. Had a few plants that hit the one pound mark and they only took up about 9 sf. I use a lot of homemade compost and LST them at a 45 degree angle. There's a lot you can do to increase yields but pot size is the ultimate limiting factor.

myself I like the ground and big holes. just rip the trunk out after harvest and cover the area with dead vegetation.

a 20 gallon pot would be a nice home for a decent sized plant. make sure to buy fabric pots, they work well. also the pots will require more watering than a plant in the ground so be prepared to water in summer.
not sure how discrete you must be but the plant when in such a pot will not be something to easy to move around nor would it be good for the plant.

The more sunlight the better, 100 degree days shouldn't be a problem. I have done 1 pounders in a 10 gallon pot and 3 pounders in a 15 gallon pot. Keep in mind the bigger the pot the better and less watering and root bound. Listen to these guys about smart pots.

Get a 100 gallon smart pot.
If you don't mind me asking but why woould I need a hundred gallon pot if people say I will be able to pull if off in a 10 to 15 or 20 gallon pot an since I got your attention what's the big difference between a nursery pot an a smart pot or fabric pot
