New to outdoor growing.....need help.
I am an experienced indoor grower, who recently obtained my medical permit in WA state. I have never grown outdoors and want to give it a try this season. I was planning on building planter boxes in my back yard. The dimensions I have proposed are 4'x8'x16". I was planning on building 2 boxes.
My questions are whether boxes (with multiple plants in each) are the best container for outdoor growing? If so How should I space the plants? How much room do they need? Is 16" deep, too deep, or shallow? Where should I get my soil from? I was planning on ordering Matanuska TF from greenthumb seeds. Would you recommend or not recommend this strain?
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THX

37 hits and I have to reply to my own post? Well, can I at least get some advice on which strain I should grow outdoors in the pacific NW?

Probably no responses b/c the topic has been covered in multiple threads. I tend to utilize the search box here when seeking info.
16" is not deep enough for outdoor growing, go at least 24" and plan on spacing each individual plant at least 3' apart.
I use one 5 or 7 gallon drilled bucket per plant, by Fall the root ball is bulging. Hence I'm going with the 7 gal. buckets(which I had to order directly from the manufacturer)this year for the more aggressive strains.
