Hey guys my first grow is gonna be in the spring and plan to grow outdoors. Im gonna dig holes and drop grow bags in the ground. If I have one plant in each bag should I get 5 gallon or 10 gallon bags? I dont want the roots to run out of room. Not sure if a 5 gallon would be enough. Im growing indicas so they shouldnt get too big. :leaf:

10 gallon definitely. Though if you're tight on money for soil, just use 5 gal. Remember though that more soil = bigger plant = more yield :)

yeah that makes sense. Go big or go home as they say. Thats gonna be a lot more soil. Especially with 8 or 9 plants.

Go as big as you can! less watering up front and bigger plant. It's a bit longer of a grow outdoors so a bigger container helps. but a 5 gal will do.

When I grow outdoors I dig 3'x3' holes and fill them with good soil, that way the roots never run out of room.

I just dont wanna spend a shit load more money on more soil and then have my dam plants turn into useless males or hermie on me. I think my expectations are too high but Im hoping that all 9 of my plants turn into big, sexy, gorgeous babes without hiddin balls, lol. I was thinking about the idea mentioned above about just digging holes and filling with soil but I wasnt sure if that had any disadvantages to it.

I might give that a try. I was thinking the bags would protect everything a lil more. That was what I was gonna do to begin with just dig holes and fill with soil. I might go that route. Save me some money on buying bags.
