Outdoor Question about how many plants to container size?

[lilmonk]

Ok going to be starting ghazexc99xc99 highrise autos and some HR auto mix freebies.. This will be outside grow.. I have the buckets below that had livestock molasses/protein supplements in them. I am wondering how many plants would be a proper amount for a tub of this size or is it even a good idea to plant more than one plant per tub.. I think the tubs are 25-30 gallon.. They are about the same size at the big round tubs you see at wally with the rope handles this time of yr.. I will do a little target practice to make some drainage holes

If the tubs are 25 -30 gal. I'd aim for 5 - 6 females per tub myself, but I'm interested to see what others say. I haven't grown autos in big tubs but I have done some raised beds filled with them. Sog style. With mi5 I was getting a half p for every square meter or 3 x 3 section of growing area. I'm doing a bunch of these highrise autos this year as well. They sound mighty dank to me! Good luck lilmonk.

in them size tubs i would go with 6-10 again only my as ive neve grown out door but i have grown the Ghaze x c99 x c99 i grew 2 of them in a 7L airpot and yielded 1 Oz each

Yes I was thinking 5-6 also.. Any input on planting pattern ?? I was thinking, either round pattern, CROSS (left to right up and down) pattern, or just staggered

I was reading a post somewhere on here about planting in tubs and someone said Cres had some experience on planting in tubs.. Maybe he will chime in if he sees this

Ok I just went and measured the tub. It 21.5x21.5x17.5 which according to my questionable math abilities it should be 35 gallons

With the autos...5

With the freebies 4

Are these in the yard or in the woods? you going to water them? or going natural? you can cut the bottom out an use it as a swamp tube also? if you have a wet land?

 

[lilmonk]

I do have some wet land area (Standing water area if there isnt a drought), but it is prone to become flooded with a decent rain.. They will be in the timber area, and yes I can get water to them as needed..

Cres, also on the freebies.. Those are regulars and not feminized correct?
